There was no autopsy report in the case I was given though. I also didn’t get to yell objection or slam my hands on the bench. But that’s just how airtight my initial rebuttal was. A perfect trial, indeed. Verily, I say. Ergo. Etc.

my class doesn't start until june 1 officially but i made myself a schedule and started last week to try and get ahead. i am already falling behind on that schedule (thank you flare up) so i'm glad i made time for that, especially because my research position starts on wednesday.

so far i've covered 17.0 to 17.7. i've gotten into a rhythm where i read the course content, the textbook (which was written by the prof) and take notes from that. the examples in the black box are given for you to complete as you're reading. after that i switch to doing the practice exercises at the end of the topic. i have time scheduled for review as well as for assignments but it's no use for me to work on the first one yet since it's on the first half of the course (chapters 17-21), so i will start looking at the questions when i get to the end of chapter 18.

Hello everyone,

I have a pathology exam in two days, and I haven’t studied yet. Our house was under renovation, with workers coming in and out all the time. My brother and I had to carry a table up to the second floor, and honestly, it was a disaster. My back hurt a lot—especially since I already deal with almost daily back pain from an old injury caused by lifting heavy things in the past.

Anyway, the chaos is finally over and things have settled down. Because the room changed, I struggled a bit with sleep. I’m someone who doesn’t like changing where they sleep, but the new look was worth it.

I also have a lot on my mind. I want to write a story inspired by a song, and I don’t want it to feel like a distorted version of Alice in Wonderland. I’m trying to create something original—not in the sense that ideas come from nowhere, because if we look closely, everything is a re-creation of something that existed before—but I want it to reflect me and my own voice.

As for the exam, it’s 11 lectures and I only have two days, so I’ll focus on the most important ones—six lectures. It will be heavy, but that’s okay.

Like influenza is okay... but then you get into diphteria (which suffocates you to death), shingles (which can cause nerve pain so savage that strong opioids only help a little), tetanus, TBE, and finally, rabies (which takes the crown I think on the account of it guaranteeing a slow, painful death)
