Scott Pilgrim vs Los Ex De La Chica De Sus Sueños

*

Hello Everyone!

This is my first Langblr post - so far I have only posted my university study but I have also been learning Spanish for several years now. This is a very simple vocabulary list of all the words I wasn’t familiar with when I watched Scott Pilgrim vs The World in Spanish on Netflix. It was really fun to watch that movie again - it has a very surreal vibe at times. Also thank you for 200+ followers! It’s so weird that so many people want to regularly see my boring study notes haha. Hope all is well for everyone.

Happy Studying!

DNA sequencing and PCR

*

Hello Everyone!

I have completed all my exams for the year and I’m feeling pretty good! For this page I figured that I needed to go over the theory behind the activities we did in the lab pracs and understand the processes behind them. I am currently spending my time relaxing, looking for jobs and keeping up with my Spanish. 

Happy Studying!

Adaptive Immunity

*

Hello Everyone!

I wrote up this sheet of notes a couple days ago about adaptive immunity and I have actually already taken this exam at the time of uploading this. I think my immunity exam went really well and I am happy with what I did. Sorry that the full page photo is a little blurry, I didn’t put a lot of effort into these photos.

Happy Studying!

Innate Immunity

*

Hello Everyone!

I’ve been slowly making my way through my end of semester study. All has been well except for my amazing pen that I use for these studyblr pages ran completely out of ink. You can see where I had to change pens at the bottom of the page so that sucks. My aesthetic-ness has taken a hit but my overall study will be okay. 

Happy Studying!

Gene Regulation

*

Hello Everyone!

I know it’s a small thing that no one will notice but I accidentally used the same colour way (pink and yellow) two posts in a row. I identified gene regulation as one of my ‘problem areas’ that I need to focus my study on but it seems that that week’s content didn’t have much to it - I couldn’t even fill an entire page with notes. I don’t really have much to say today so I hope everyone’s doing well.

Happy Studying!

Immunology Basics

*

Hello Everyone!

I’ve finally finished all the content from my second semester and all I have left to do is study and take my final exams for the year and I’ll be done. I was approved to start in the advanced Spanish courses as a minor in my degree and I feel so validated that my Spanish is actually improving and I’m actually getting somewhere in the language. I’ve been really excited about my future and I have been daydreaming a lot about the person I want to be. Over the holidays I plan on getting back into my love for reading and writing that I had as a child and also do lots of cooking. There should be plenty more posts to come as a prepare for my final exams so stay tuned. I wish everyone the best after this very troublesome year we’ve experienced.

Happy Studying!

Parasites and Virology

*

Hello Everyone!

I have already taken my mid-semester exam for this unit and I think I did pretty well, I already know I made a couple of silly mistakes but overall I feel pretty good about it. The exam was online and I think having the timer count down right in front of me the entire time made me really speed through the questions more than I would with a normal exam. Also we weren’t allowed to back-track to previous questions so once you moved onto the next question you couldn’t change your answer which is the most anxiety-inducing thing for me. The virology component of this course has been my favourite so far so I hope we’ll get to learn more about viruses in future courses.

Happy Studying!

Bacteria and Fungi

*

Hello Everyone!

Long time no see! I am about half way through the second semester of this year and this week I have a progress exam for my infections course. If I stay on my productive streak then there should be more pathogen-based studyblr pages to be uploaded later this week. I have decided that I definitely want to major in infection and immunity and minor in genetics, but I still have one minor left to decide on. 

Happy Studying!

Nervous System Anatomy

*

Hello Everyone!

I actually made this page a while ago before I finished all my exams I have just been really lazy with uploads here. I’m really excited for next semester because I am going to be studying an infectious diseases subject and a genetics subject! Not much to say now that I’m on holidays but I will be practicing my Spanish throughout my time off.

Happy Studying!

#JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to voice my support and love for the messages of the black lives matter movement on my studyblr because it is the only platform where I have an actual ‘audience’ if you will. To all the people of colour who do and do not read this, stay safe and stay strong. We will fight with you to get you the rights, safety and treatment you deserve. I am not black but I mourn with you.  #BlackLivesMatter #EndRacismNow #EndPoliceBrutalityNow

If you want to help I recommend starting with this site https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#educate

If you have not got money to donate I recommend signing petitions to show support for families that have lost loved ones to racism and to pressure the police department to punish the cops who have murdered and assaulted people of colour.

Don’t tolerate the hate! Stay Safe and Keep Fighting Everyone!

Cardiovascular Anatomy

*

Hello Everyone!

I’m currently in my study week for end of semester exams. I decided to target one of my difficult areas for anatomy which is labeling the different veins and arteries of the body. I’m really proud of how this page turned out I think it’s really pretty and hopefully having to actually draw out the vessels and label them will help me remember them in the exam. I just realised that I forgot to label the hepatic portal vein in the liver diagram even though it was emphasised to be a very important vein during lectures and workshops. I hope everyone is doing well during these times and good luck to anyone going into exams like I am.

Happy Studying!

Mitosis vs Meiosis

*

Hello Everyone!

I am coming into the last teaching weeks of the semester and I am pretty excited to finish my first semester in this new degree. I am mainly excited for next semester as I have two courses that I am really looking forward to taking, an introductory infectious disease course and an introductory genetics course. I am thinking that over the holidays I could start to post some notes for my Spanish learning as I won’t have any university content to post.

Happy Studying!

Ribosomes and Transfer RNA (tRNA)

*

Hello Everyone!

I’m starting to regain my study productivity after the mid-semester break so I’m hoping to upload more often for the second half of the semester. I actually found this topic of ribosomes and translation of mRNA to the amino acid chain to be really interesting so hopefully that will help me remember this topic better.

Happy Studying!

Packaging DNA

*

Hello Everyone!

I’m currently on my mid-semester break so I haven’t really done much work that I can upload here. I’ve been trying to find some new hobbies but its pretty difficult because I’m not really motivated to learn something new right now. I would say I have successfully gotten into a routine of working out again but I would still like to find an artistic hobby that interests me. I hope everyone is taking care of themselves right now both physically and emotionally.

Happy Studying!

Carpal Bones and Tarsal Bones

*

Hello Everyone!

I was having difficulty remembering all the different names for the carpal and tarsal bones so I decided to draw out the bones myself and label them. Although I think I am more familiar with some of them I will still have to study them quite a bit. I am technically on my mid-semester break right now but I have various uni things that I plan on completing over this break.

Happy Studying!

Muscle Anatomy

*

Hello Everyone!

I am already trying to get stuck into my muscle anatomy study because the various muscles of the forearms, thighs and calves look so similar. I already know it’s going to take forever to learn their names and to identify them. Outside of university, I finally am getting back into regular workouts so go me!

Happy Studying!

Arthrology (The Study of Joints)

*

Hello Everyone!

I have just realised that I have been spelling ‘arthrology’ as ‘anthrology’ this whole time so that’s fun. To be honest, I don’t completely love this page and considered not uploading it for a while. It’s not the worst thing in the world but also not the best. Arthrology seems to be a fairly simple topic in this course so I think this page will suffice for study until exam block rolls around.

Happy Studying!
