2 more essays, 2 less lectures

Hello,

Tutorials seem to be like buses - after waiting ages to book one I've now got two more. One is on mood disorders and the other, which is more iminent and therefore the one that I'm working on now, is on changes in the adult brain during learning. I've only got one more to book now and I'm not in any hurry to do that now that I have two essays to be getting on with.

I was supposed to have a lecture on the spinal cord today but the lecturer didn't turn up so it will have to be rescheduled. I also had a chemical pharmacology supplementary subject lecture on drugs used to treat brain disorders, which I went to to pick up the notes but didn't stay because they were identical to a lecture we had by the same lecturer last year. Most of the chemical pharmacology lectures seem to be repeats for us, which is good because we get extra credit for learning the same thing twice but a little unfair on the chemists who do the same supplementary subject but haven't done anything like it before! It's also a bit unfair on the medics who chose to do history and philosophy of science as a supplementary subject because they've been working hard and writing essays for their extra marks!

I still haven't been able to use the microscope camera, but I've been in to work on my research project every day this week and I'm slowly but surely getting closer to some conclusive results. It's taking quite a long time to do the experiments so I've done as much as possible this week when I didn't have too much reading to do, and I hope I won't have to spend that long on it every week.
