A little late, I know. But once you take a break from anything, working out, school, blogging, it takes its toll and it’s so hard to get back into it. Better late than never though!
My Grandfather’s brother just died this morning. My Grandfather is making his journey of mourning from Canada to Poland today and [...]

Beach Time

Well, at least very very close. Getting reservations underway for some rest time at a small city on the Baltic beaches here in Poland. Rooms are dirt cheap and I so want to be able to dress all in white and just walk on the beach in the morning and evening…and day and just do [...]

Biochemistry is Over
Filed Under AMB Division, General | 1 Comment
I got a 4. I did an all-nighter (which contributed little but at least calmed my nerves). It was the one exam I was really worried about. Next coming up is physiology in about two weeks. Time to really put in a lot of studying. In other new, I started my summer practice! Yay.
I also [...]

Discus

Did some discus throwing today for some kind of University meet. I threw only 30.45m with the 2kg disk. It really upset me. I remember way back when I would look at the 40 and 50 meter marks. Those were my kind of throws. Training 5 days a week. Good times with other throwers. And [...]

Harry Cup 2007

Our team dressed up as Army Dudes. We did the whole face paint thing. That stuff is a bitch to get off…or atleast it was for me. It’s also on the collars of a few sweatshirts that I was wearing that day. My white shirt looks raped. Hopefully it’ll come out. The after party was [...]

60 People, Lots of Paint, A Few Acres
Filed Under AMB Division, Gaming, General | Leave a Comment
I went for one gigantic paintball match today. It was a little outside of Bialystok. Tor invited me (Along with Emil but in the end they didn’t show up. Martin was supposedly be there and show his Deutsch Skillz but also chickened out). There were around 60 people, mostly from the Medical University, and we [...]

Tor’s Car
Filed Under AMB Division, General | Leave a Comment
This is Tor’s car. The same car Tor and I went around trying to get the Police to release it from the impound some time ago. He thinks it’s cool…I leave You to be the judge of that.
But I have to admit, there’s a certain amount of awesomeness having your own car irregardless of what [...]

Blood Work and Hematocrit
Filed Under AMB Division, General, Medical | Leave a Comment
We were doing hematocrit in physiology today. Hematocrit is the portion of blood volume occupied by red blood cells (RBS). It’s usually between 0.42 and 0.52 (42% – 52%) for males with a usually value of 0.47. Woman have 0.36 to 0.48. Blood is collected in a capillary tube, which has heparin in it, (also [...]

Some Sushi
Filed Under AMB Division, General | Leave a Comment
Not too long ago I had a cool day (around the 11th) and I made sushi for the occasion. Here are some pics. The last one isn’t exactly sushi, it’s something we did in biochemistry. There was a lot of separating and stuff to do for it. I couldn’t probably tell exactly what the stuff [...]

Bike Time
Filed Under AMB Division, General | Leave a Comment
Today’s the first day I rode my bike! It was awesome. In the morning I rode with my jean jacket and a hat. I had to ride back my house without the hat, too warm. I still had a physio lecture so had to go back, this time without the jacket. It was still too [...]

Racial Discrimination @ the Library
Filed Under AMB Division, Gaming | Leave a Comment
A few days ago a group of us went to the library to borrow the psychology book. The library underwent some renovations a few months ago and one of the new gadgets they got were metal (book??) detectors in the entrance. So I walk throught, then Espen, Anja follows, Adnan (the brown/black dude) walks by [...]

Pictures from CPR and Various
Filed Under AMB Division, General, Medical | Leave a Comment
Pictures, as promised. This isn’t me, it’s Emil. Emil is here is getting feedback on his CPR skillz from our lecturer, an anesthesiologist. Anesthesiologists in Poland are also intensivists (found out on that course). The dummies we use are incredibly sophisticated, or atleast they seem like it. You can see how deep your compressing and [...]

Psychology, Sociology, First Aid
Filed Under AMB Division, General | Leave a Comment
So we have new courses now. Psychology seems interesting, and it’s being taught by a Brit! We can actually safely assume every word she says is what she wanted to say, unlike some teachers. Sociology seems ok, the book will probably be interesting but the lecturer might need some brushing up on. First Aid so [...]

Legs hurts, first jog in a while
Filed Under AMB Division, Fitness, General, Karate | Leave a Comment
I jogged yesterday to my fiancee’s house in order to give her bus pass back. I use it for Sundays when I go for my Karate. But there was no karate yesterday, I should really start checking my club’s website more often. Today’s session was pretty good. I got worked up and we did kata’s. [...]

It’s so Friggin’ Cold

I love that rush of blood that gets to your face and appendages when you walk inside after a very very long walk in -11 Celsius weather. The rush creates this burning sensation. Just beautiful. I had an icicle of snot hanging from my nose.
Karate was pretty good today. Got some 360 crescent kicks in [...]

Histology, Practical Exam

I’m currently studying for histology, the study of cells and what cells make up which organs. Thought I’d give you a look at what we look at.
A macro view of the goblet cells of the intestines. If you click on the picture and then view the biggest size you’ll see blue areas and ‘droplets’ in [...]
