studying...

modem replaced edi...now that was fast... faster than expected anyway

okay, time for definitions, read then you can tell why BS(behavioral sciences) is actually BS(bull shit):

STRESS is the physical and mental response to a threatening or challenging situation. (i'd say my grades are being threatened now, so i'm stressed, physically very alert, mentally, dem tired)

MOTIVATiON is the internal state or condition that activates behavior. (I dun wan to die tmr in the exam hall, and that has motivated me to study)

HEALTH is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being. (i guess i'm unhealthy then, mentally and socially ill)

ILLNESS is the destructive process that produces characteristic signs, symptoms or disabilities

THe LAY REFERRAL SYSTEM is an informal network of non-practitioners who provide thier own information and interpretations regarding the person's symptoms. (that means you and me la...)

INSTINCTS are the inborn pattern of behaviour that are biologically determined rather than learned. (i don't supposed fear of exams count rite...i think i learned this fear, i was born exam-free)

AGEING is the changes in behavior and psychological functioning associated with long term maturation process.

LEARNING is a relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs as a result of prior experience.

Terms that make you feel spastic by the time you finish reciting them:

*Hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) - important for er...wat was it, oh, salvage pathway of purines.
*Mitochondrial myopathy ecephalopathy lactic acidosis and stroke-like episode (MELAS) - sexlinked dominant inheritance
*Leber heriditary optic neuropathy (LHON) - same

Terms that make you feel like Harry Potter (think wingardium leviosa):
*tunica albugenia (covering of testicles and ovaries)
*corpora cavernosa (erectile tissue)
