One more to go


The end of the semester is near. Physiology is done and over with! The only thing that stands between me and the Physikum now is biochemistry. (And the loads of knowledge I ought to learn until then...)

In the morning we had Physiology examination. At 9.00 AM. I was nervous as usual when awaiting an upcoming exam, and it wasn't easier when I heard I'd be in my "own" hall (reflexes) where I had been the assistant helper. But... the details don't matter, because I passed! I did, and now I have no more physiology - except the part it takes in the Physikum of course.
Monday is the final biochemistry exam. It's damn important and the exam I fear most! And it's my weakest spot to the day. I have to pass it, although I already resigned myself to the repeated exam in two weeks. It just has to happen. Else no Physikum now. But in case of unlucky circumstances I'm also already tuned in on Physikum in march, ha!
Due to the very narrow timeframe I sought quick recuperation and was granted the timely offer of a good friend (who also passed today, like the majority of the students) to make a short trip into the east of Berlin. We rode our bicycles under the finally present sun and he invited me to a luscious cup of ice cream (raffaello/coconut, joghurt, chocolate and hazelnut). We spent some time playing a children's over dimensional wooden tic tac toe which was very amusing. It's funny how much you can enjoy yourself after you managed another hurdle; not that I wouldn't have tried that game if I was normally relaxed :)
We had some time left, the weather was fine and our exam was over, so we payed the local sports mall a visit. Trying out funny snorkling acessories like webbed swim gloves and Inline skates. I really want a pair now. Hehe, as soon as biochemistry is fixed up, I'll get a pair. It was fun to try them, but I wasn't exactly talented - although I didn't fall. At least a chance to learn it :D
In the end we just sat outside on the stairs to the mall, eating "Currywurst" and listening to a strange guy playing a kind of electronic didgeridoo/trance mix - his dij was made of metal! In the background a strange oldish man sitting in a tiny shack was overheard shouting some phrases about the Lotto tickets he was trying to sell. He didn't even look up if people were around, just shouted in regular time lags. Veery strange person! I guess he was automatized already, running on a little Energizer.
It was really nice and for some hours I had the feeling that I could actually relax. It was good to just sit in the sun and do nothing of examinational relevance - of special importance as things are still kind of tumbling, but it's going relatively well under the circumstances!
Back home I had to get back to biochemistry, working off voice memos I had made and writing them down. Then having another study appouintment, we checked out the stuff, but major preparation modus will begin tomorrow. Urghh! I wish myself luck. The glass electrode isn't the most fascinating thing on earth, really.
Sorry for the weird text structure, but i'm actually quite tired now :-P
Off to get some sleep...zzZZzZZZzzzZ...
