Medical Biochemistry

I hate biochem I hate biochem I hate biochem.

There's nothing wrong with the book though - the chapters aren't overly long, and yet, I still managed to take 3 days for 1 single chapter.
Back in high school, math was my mortal enemy. Guess what, I now hate biochem.


The book contains a lot of diagrams and tables though, and the letters are just the right size.

Books!

Med school books 10/21

Yeah, new books!
I still have to buy more books for the coming year, but this batch will keep me standing for the coming few months in med school :)
Expect book reviews throughout the coming academic year!

The Immune System (Book)

The Immune System
For those of you who don't know yet, I'm a sucker for immunology and infectious diseases. Several weeks ago, the Dutch Railways (also called NS) gave me a fake heart attack, but I did manage to pass my Immunology test with 8.7 out of 10 pts.
Thanks to this book. So yeah, it's a great book.

Brock Biology of Microorganisms


Another ridiculously thick book, although it doesn't match up to the High-and-Mighty Sobotta.

Well, obviously, the book deals with microorganisms. Mainly bacteria, Archaea and viruses though. I've been using the book to finish my writing assignment on EHEC and Salmonella. Overall, it's a pretty neat book. It's supposedly a good book for studying immunology, or so I've been told.

Lots of text, but a lot of illustrations too.

More books!


Yup, I finally got my books today. Missing two of them, though.
The moment I saw the anatomy&physiology book, I freaked out because I thought it was some basically the same as the Sobotta. Luckily, it's not the same. ^^

They also delivered my lab coat >;D I love lab coats! It's ginormous for a size S coat, though. Euro size 42 o_o'

But I'm so poor..!

Nearly every college student deals with this.
In 1.5 week, I'm starting college, and my wallet is already empty.
I still have to find myself a job which will allow me to earn a pretty penny while also allowing me to ace this year.
I have to pay for self defense classes.
No one is buying my beaded works. I have not yet bought any school books, save for The Sobotta (which still cost €100+).
I still have to buy a lab coat and 8 other books if I substitute the Dutch anatomy book with the Sobotta.
I'm poor.
