Pharmacology: Mission Accomplished
Published on 26/02/2007
Yes, here it is: the biggest, most important and toughest exam a student of industrial pharmacy has to face!
A few hours ago, I finished to brilliantly describe the wonderful properties of niacin and now it's time to take a rest.
If you are interested, I'll tell you that during the (oral) exam I was asked to talk about: what drugs you use in case of tuberculosis (including some information about mycobacterium tuberculosis), how doctors handle chloroquine resistance, antiemetics (including a brief description of the sites on which you can act) and niacin.
Another thing I've to point out is that I'm far from the end of all the exams and the beginning of the graduation thesis.
Until September, I'll be a (proper) undergraduate student who has to do exams.
Because pharmacology will always be a central theme for the rest of my life, don't think I'll stop to write endlessly about drugs.
However, maybe more chemistry is going to be featured in my posts...
Tonight, surprisingly, I am NOT going to go the pub and get drunk: this exam, I must admit, was pretty tough to prepare. This means, I'll spend Tuesday and Wednesday at the pub, but tonight I'll definitely sleep.
I'm sorry, but my 23-years-old body seems to need rest after two months of Red-Bull for studying through the night and waking up at 7 am, on any (bloody) given day.
So, take care and see you tomorrow (before the pub, of course).
cheers!
This reminds me: A priest wakes up with a terrible hungover. It is not his apartment, and obviously he is not in his bed - and the worst thing is that he cannot remember anything at all, about what happened. Then he notices that there is a little twine, some kind of string, coming out of the corner of his mouth. So he starts pulling at it curiously and stops suddenly, closes his eyes and prays: "Oh Lord, dear Lord - Please, make it a tea-bag! "
