is that better?

Makin' all kinds of gainz.

Phew guys I'm in struggletown today! Feeling quite down. Hope all your studies are going well. I can't wait for Engineering Computation to be over.

I can feel your pain. I don't think anyone is enjoying Chemistry for Biomedicine (this year it sounds like they decided to tamper with what was otherwise a well-oiled machine in previous years).

I got so little done today im going to take the day off tomorrow. Going on a date tonight, hopefully it'll be nice, and then chill tomorrow. It feels wrong to do that in swotvac but I reckon it's best. I'm in a pretty good place for my first two exams... Just feel so stalled. They also tampered with the exam for Fundamentals of Chem this year! Hmm strange. But I think they may have improved it...

I'm so screwed for MCB got 3 days to redeem myself luckily I have this quote for motivation - 'To be a good professional engineer, always start to study late for exams because it teaches you how to manage time and tackle emergencies. -Bill Gates'

In case anyone is interested MUHI is recruiting again! Yay! Students from all faculties welcome and encouraged to apply as always.

Heh, I feel like such a hypocrite saying this but you're probably doing the right thing for yourself.

I sent in my application earlier today  Has anybody here worked with them before?

I do!

Chemistry for Biomed has always been a nightmare. Completely killed my love of Chemistry I'm afraid to say. You won't have to deal with it again though; the Biochem in MCB is excellent.

chemistry for biomedicine is way better then the biochem component of MCB

There's just too much covered in too little time, especially with thermodynamics and kinetics added in and no other topic subbed out. It also sounds the old lecturing team was probably better too.

I've heard the entropy/thermodynamics/kinetics was added to Chem for Biomed to help us out with chemistry later on. Does that mean there's a lot of that kind of thing in MCB?

Or I could've totally imagined reading that, idk.

No. Thermodynamics is covered in the first lecture (it's just Gibbs) and enzyme kinetics is only covered in Lecture 9 - and also for like 10 mins during allosteric regulation.

The Biochem section is more focused on learning about protein/membrane/nucleic acid structure, and the rest is spent on like metabolism and signalling pathways.

Wait until you get to Physics for Biomed. 12 weeks of pure chaos

I feel like this is vaguely appropriate somehow

Well isn't that just dandy?

Worst. Subject. Ever

Yea i don't understand why people do Biomedicine... It is literally just a more restricted and confined version of Bach of Science. There is no tangible benefit to choose biomed over science. I guess it's all about the prestige factor or their nagging parents!
