On How It Is: Episode II – Attack of the Revision

The days have blurred into one. I measure the passing of time as a single number, counting down. Each time I wake up, that number has decreased. It will get to zero all too soon, then be reset instantly to 11, the period of bonus stress where I try to write 9000 words before collapsing from exhaustion. And after that? Well…it starts all over again, for another 6 or 7 weeks.

The life of a student during the summer term is never enjoyable, as David VandeLinde would know if he was ever on campus.

Excuse me…I'm off to find a piece of rope and a chair with an unstable leg.

On How It Is

To clarify for those lucky people not doing this module: Doppler blood flow is a subsection of Ultrasound, a topic from Physics in Medicine which, knowing my luck, will be on the exam. The notes on it make absolutely no sense.

Jules: Doppler blood flow!!
Me: No.
Jules: When he talks about considering these signals with 2 different phase shifts
Me: No.
Me: No.
Jules: What does he mean by phase shift?!
Me: No.
Jules: Can you not do Doppler blood flow?
Me: No!
