Biophysics: Day #4 - 6 + First attempt

You how authors sometimes begin their books with the end and then what follows is the story of how the character(s) got there? I'm about to do just that.
If you're just here to find out how I did on the Biophysics all you have to do is finish this sentence (although it is not the end).

I've already taken my first attempt and I did indeed fail it, hence my humble adding of the sentence: "I was naive to think that one and a half week of studies was enough to cover the whole course".
But before I begin to explain how it was being examined let me first tell you about the way there, just as promised.

During Friday there wasn't much going on. I hardly left the apartment and tried to dig through the two last chapters in the booklet.
The pages in what we refer to as "the green booklet" really is horrible to read. Not that it lack the information, the other way around actually which cause it to be difficult reading.
My friend said it in a nice way: "...it's medical orientated physics, not physics orientated for medics..."

As I try to write down what I've been doing it hit me that the days all go blurry and starts to get mixed up in my head which is a sign of too much reading and to little living. The fact that I've sacrificed the workouts is not making me too happy but it's exam period and if that's what it takes then fine.
It's safe to say that I got all the other credits and the only obstacle left is the biophysics.
Saturday went by with at lot of formula memorizing and not too much reading which was sort of a good break from all the reading and sorting of terms.
During Sunday I mostly looked over it all and one minute it honestly felt like I knew enough but then waves of doubt went through my mind.
I scheduled for at least 8 hours of sleep and went to bed rather confident.

I wasn't nervous as I waited to get in for the examination. It started at 9 and I woke up, got ready and dressed up nicely one and a half hour before that. Note that the biophysic-department is in the building right next to my apartment so I didn't
have to stress.
During the exam it's really strange how everything in your head seems to just crawl up and hide.
It's easy to be wise after the event but another week would be good to have and a reschedule would have been the right thing to do.

Taking water over my head is just fine, failing an attempt is also fine - mistakes made are almost always good things, because one can correct them.
There's also rumours roaming around that it's fairly easy to cheat during this type of exam but I honestly rather get put down proven to have a lack of knowledge, do the second attempt better and finish it all of with a solid knowledge.
I discussed this matter the other day and the conclusion was as solid. The hard way is the best way, taking that road down will lead to more knowledge, experience and memories. Even if this philosophy covers life in its whole, not only biophysics, one is still able to apply it.

Now I have to schedule another week and I think that will be just enough in order to learn the booklet from inside out.
Although I'll look like this when I'm done it's going to be worth it.

Knowledge is easy to carry...
