IT TOOK ME FIVE YEARS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MEMBRANE POTENTIAL WAS AND THE BASICS ARE SO SIMPLE
Cell Biology is making me retroactively understand everything I failed in highschool.

It's not anything to do with the Nernst potential is it?

Aaaah the old Nernst potential. I know it well.

[LeviLamp]

@lzxnl: Nah, they don't cover it in the introductory cell bio subject (chem isn't a prereq, though they did provide a reference to the book to read about it for curious students), but I mean from the Year 12 biology sort of perspective about the antiport and the K+ and Na+ ions and electrochemical gradients and shit. I do recall doing a question on membrane potential with Nernst on the Chem 2 exam.

Yeah I did that exam. Turns out I put the wrong sign for the potential -.- still can't remember how the signs were defined.
So does it have anything to do with the Nernst potential though? I keep thinking it does.

I think I've actually gone backwards in Genetics. The class is that hopeless that I have walked in knowing how to do something, and walked out having no clue what just happened and having forgotten what I was meant to know in the first place.

[LeviLamp]

@lzxnl: It does, but that's at a level of detail different to and higher than what I learnt.
@t-rav: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA I bet you witnessed Molly (from Spanish) stand up, walk out and unenrol in the middle of a lecture the other week?

The last lecture brought about a whole new meaning to translocation that my mind has like...boom. That's right I can't even make a proper sentence.

I THOUGHT THIS SUBJECT WAS MEANT TO BE EASY

HAHAHAHAHAHA DID SHE REALLY?! That's absolutely amazing, can't believe she didn't tell me! Serious congratulations to give her when I catch up with her this week or next.

I just, I cannot express how hopeless that man is. I don't normally like bagging lecturers out too much, but wow, just wow.

I'M GOING TO BE IN A CLASS WITH DAPHANE NG NEXT YEAR

(that's hyperbole but sharing a class with a microcelebrity is pretty cool :') )

I saw your tweet to her, and was like "yep, that's completely true" hahah. Some of my friends point her out when she walks past, and then just stand there like stunned mullets.

[hobbitle]

What's the big deal? I missed something.

For some reason they have a massive crush on the girl that runs that blog about UoM
