Dear diary, my last week has gone wonderful, until Saturday night when Grace Hodson decided she wouldn't let me use her Microbiology books. I did however manage to get all the information I need to reference the books, and all the useful page numbers so I can now make a trip to the library to make a proper start on my #BS1009 Microbiology essay. I have also made an excellent #MB1031 plan for the essay today, with a coloured in picture!! The rest of my week was fairly mundane, just passing by, but I am glad to say I'm not behind on any work anymore, and as soon as I finish the Microbiology essay the rest of the term shouldn't be that hard with no more major assessed work (like essays). I will still have some presentations, and a poster to make but that's fairly fun so it will be nice to work on. Anyway, I'm going to crack on with this essay, see you next week. - Philip Higgs

i'm honoured to be named in your diary, the only reason i didnt let you use them was that I was working doing my essay and didnt want to be distracted by you, i have said today already that you can come and use them tonight if there are not any left in the library today. - Grace Hodson

This article is relevant to #MB1005 Genes in Medicine, where we have been talking about inactivating enzymes and repression. The article also looks like a major breakthrough in Cancer medicine will occur soon, as this drug is produced to prevent Cancer's spreading in humans. When this is done we can prevent tumours from growing and spreading around the body so it is massively easier to treat. - Philip Higgs

Olga post #MyDiary first and then comment on your own post/write about what's going on. That way your message won't get cut off like it has here unfortunately - Ahmed Syed

Finally getting use to the new timetable. Compared to the modules from last semester, I'm finding this semester modules much more difficult and much more harder to grasp. I'm not too sure why this is the case ( maybe because there are more modules this semester...) but it could be because most of the content covered in each module is new stuff i.e. not covered in previous learning. This particularly relates to #BS1009 microbiology, where a lot of the information covered in lectures is all new to me. Also, #BS1011 seems a lot harder than #BS1010 from last semester, but that's probably because i'm useless with excel and spreadsheets. On a plus note, i am very excited for the module #BS1006 an introduction to physiology in upcoming weeks! :) - Michael Lam

And now it is handed in.....so relieved. Now i can focus on my #CH1070 Chemistry exam for tomorrow =) - Philip Higgs

Since there's an exam for #CH1070 in two weeks, I think I should join you :) - Emmanuelle

Here you go, a few tips on preparing for your exams http://connect.le.ac.uk/examski... - Matthew Mobbs

...Dr Willmott and Professor Schwabe to smack them round the head with a kipper if they mess up in their January exams! - Maryam

I thought it was a v.good technique. By doing something different your more likely to remember the fact, especially for people like me who are visual learners.Lectures should do something like this more often (time consuming it may be). The guy that walked in when we doing our declaration was really funny as i was right by the door. He looked straight at me, in a strange and weird way then walked straight back out. - Neil Nathwani

I chose this article as it looked interesting and could be a big medical breakthrough. It fits with the start of #BS1015, when we were talking about the lysis of cells and how we kill bacteria. - Philip Higgs

It turns out the bacteria survive if you defrost it gently, the bacteria become dormant during freezing - http://www.yakult.co.uk/default... - Max Levin

The mark of true scientist, I am so proud! - Jaspreet Seehra

Why didn't the dog bark?? ;) - Rachel Bell

I agree! I won't ever forget the dog barking! - Laura Foulsham

did you mis the first lecture on monday 11-12 but regard less its really cool. Its like being on who wants to be a millionaire. - Nathan Gill

So am i! Not sure how they work though... - Maryam

Remember you need your keepads, a pencil and a ruler tomorrow. Calculator optional! #BS1015 - Dr Chris Willmott

Agree with Xanthe - The keepads are better than the system of raising hands and counting, and Friendfeed does exactly what Xanthe said - makes me feel less like I'm just another student. - Susan Petherbridge

Remember - tomorrow is a DRY practical so there won't be experimental work except for a short exercise at the end, the rest is preparation for the following week. - Dr Chris Willmott

I can't wait either, it's gonna be really fun, I'm sure! - Pardina Samson-Fessale
