This is Your Brain...

So, here's a little something for you physiology buffs out there: Here is a picture of a healthy human brain, perhaps a good idea of what MY brain looked like prior to this weekend:


Now, let's take a look at what my brain HAS to look like now and let's hear the diagnoses:


You see, my brain, similarly to your brain, is made up of tiny little cells. When you take a cell and place it in a hypo tonic solution, what happens? Anyone? Anyone? Buler? That's right, the cell bursts, leaking its contents into the extracellular environment. As the above series of pictures illustrates, the same has happened to ALL the cells in my brain (the hypo tonicity due to an acute overdose of chemistry laws and equations), leaving a useless mass of stinky poo in my head.

Today's chem test has to be one of the most information-intensive exams I have ever taken! After this past long week/weekend of intense studying, I hope that I can somehow make sense of all the information swimming in my head and that my cow-poo brain will perform like a well-oiled machine!

For all my fellow students out there who have conquered chemistry: Any tips for me to actually understand and apply the concepts that are mercilessly hurled at me in class?

Thanks for reading!
