I think I am getting a C in biochemistry, C+ is my best bet. I'm a junior and never had anything below a B. All my grades are As and B+. I am pre-health too so this is freaking me out. My GPA is not the best (3.5) so this will bring it down. Does anyone have any advice? Am I doomed from a health professional school? :(

Ok I'm having a big problem identifying a compound from NMR graph. my peaks are:

1. 7.35 ppm: 5 H singlet

2. 4 ppm: 2H quartet

3. 3.5 ppm: 2H singlet

4. ~1.3 ppm: 3H triplet

I think I got that 7.35 is an aromatic 6-C ring; 4 and 1.3 is CH2-CH3. I think the 3.5 should be an alcohol but whenever I think I know what the compound is, I look it up online and the NMRs never ever match. :(

Help please?

Is there a relationship between acne and the flu? I got a flu and my symptoms started yesterday. However, I also noticed that my face was less oily and is totally clear now. I was thinking that since I have a fever and my body fights and infection, it kills those nasty bacteria as well?

P.s. for any smart *** answers, yes I wash my face.

So we adopted a 2 year old female Siamese cat today. At first she was fine. She acted like she wanted to be picked up, and we did. Then she was sticking her face to our neck (I don't know what it's called, but you know what I mean). She let everyone pet her, even jumped on somene. Then for no reason she started hissing from everyone and hid in the basement. She meows like she's warning us to stay away and hisses. I know cats need tome to get used to everything, but why would she be such an awesome cat for a few hours, then go wild on us within the same day??? Will she always be like this?

We've head experience with another cat that always hid, scratched, and never got used to us. We gave her to someone else. Now this cat seems to be doing the same thing. It's like they hate our house. The difference is that this new cat was acting better at first than the old cat.

Do you think it is possible to study too much?

Whenever I understudy, or at least study just the right amount, I do much better on tests then when I study my butt off. I'm just wondering how can that be? How can something you've been exposed to many times confuse you on tests?

Ok I must be missing something here. I know all the rules for determining acid and base strength (what atom is the charge on, resonance, induction, and orbitals).

I know that atom strength increases to the right and down the periodic table.

So why, when I do this problem in the book,

*Which is more acidic?

CH3 CH2 C Cl2 CO2 H

CH3 CH2 C F2 CO2 H

the answer says that the molecule with F2 is more acidic. Why? If Cl is below F, then shouldn't Cl2 be more acidic???

I HATE converse.

I cannot wear flats all the time because I have labs 3 time a week in college. Flip flops are a major no-no, and heels are just dangerous in lab.

I have my eye on these... .http://www.dsw.com/dsw_shoes/catalog/product.jsp?i...

what do you think?

No smart-*** answers please :)..

Anyway, I decided that I want to go to med school last fall (not GO but that I wanted to go).

Then I got scared by the competition and demands and changed my mind.

Then in the spring I wanted it again. But ran away again because I got freaked out.

This fall, guess what! I want it again. It does not help that I am being stalked (jk) by pre-meds at my college AND out of college. It's like something is telling me to do it.

So I am wondering....have you ever changed your minds like that and ended up doing it anyway? What does it mean anyway? That I don't want it? Or is it just a straightforward answer - I want it but I am terrified of competition?

Thanks for your answers! :)

Ok I just got the cutest Kamik Rainboots http://www.6pm.com/n/p/p/7220253/c/535.h...

What do you think of rainboots? I've heard so many opinions. But with the amount of rain we've had lately... these would be very practical. I almost broke my leg THREE TIMES wearing flip flops in rain (stupid I know, but it's HOT and other shoes would get so wet, they'd never dry. At least your feel dry in flip flops really fast.)

Do you wear rainboots?:)

I almost never get dry lips, but a few days ago I noticed they were cracked a little on the sides and it hurt a little bit.

Today I noticed that my hands are very dry. I just put some Eucerin cream on and it STINGS! My hands get this dry only in the winter, when it's cold. But I've never had any problems with dryness in the summer...ever. It is really hot this month too.

Anyway, I'm wondering if this is a sign of some vitamin deficiency? Any ideas? Please no smart - *** answers.

Would it be weird for 21 yo girl, who is in college, to buy an Xbox 360? :S I feel odd about it. I used to play games on PC when I was in HS, but it's outdated now and all the fun games are coming out on an xbox now.....

I can't tolerate the taste of water for long. I can drink half a glass and after that it makes me gag. I like to mix cranberry or apple juice with water. I take less than 1/4 glass of juice and the rest is water. Does that count towards my daily water intake (don't bother mentioning calories ;). I'd rather have that than dehydration due to my weird taste buds).

I've been trying to understand it for hours but I just don't get it. Can anyone explain please?

I've seen enough of textbook definitions so none of those please. I need to know what the R2 means when looking at a set of data and trying to interpret it.

I am writing a scientific-style paper (Biological sciences). This is not my first one but it's been awhile since I've written it. Anyway.. say I am writing my own laboratory findings and comparing/contrasting them to previous findings written in Biology journals. What if I wrote a few sentences as MY response, and AFTER that I read the same thing, just in different words in a journal I've been using? It just looks like I paraphrased what I've read but I didn't, because I used the information learned in class.

How would my professor know I did not plagiarize?? I don't exactly want to credit someone else even though I came up with it before reading this journal..

I hope this wasn't too confusing

is it possible to bring a tick attached to you or your clothes home and then have it jump and attach to someone else?

Ok is it ok to wear white leggings? I've only ever worn black but I just got white and I'm wondering if it's ok to wear them on days when it's not too hot outside.

I want to wear them with this dress/tunic I got at Abercrombie, so it's not too long and not too short... It has dark blue/white stripes. What do you think?

Seriously. Abercrombie, Ruehl and Hollister must be the most intimidating stores ever. I've never actually bought clothes at Ruehl but I've been there. Abercrombie employees are just rude. Hollister is a bit better but I still hate going there. Anyone else feel the same?

Ok I have to make a graph in excel and everything works fine except for the fact that my x-axis values are on top instead of the bottom and it makes my graph look really messy. I don't know why it's doing that. I was always on the bottom before. Do you guys know how to fix this?

I'm a sophomore in college, always been a biology major and never took summer classes.

This semester for some reason I started thinking about medical school and I've researched a lot about it..

I was wondering, will it look bad if I take this summer off? I was planning on going away to another state for the whole three months and it's been set up... I wanted to start volunteering at hospitals during the fall semester'08 to see if I medicine is for me. So should I just cancel my plans and do volunteering during the summer? I heard something about it being bad when you don't do anything in the summer, but I want to hear this from someone who actually knows.
