Pathophysiology Extra Credit...i need it

Hey,

So I am a few weeks behind, not only in this blog but also in this class. The first test was pretty tough for me. I didn't try as hard as I should have on this first exam, I started with a different class and when I moved to this one I didn't bother to print off the notes because I had already printed off all my notes and papers for all my other classes, that was a mistake. I also couldn't get onto this class in blackboard for some reason, but I emailed the helpdesk people and somehow it got fixed really fast, so that was good. I am definitely going to print off the notes and study alot for the next exams, hopefully I can still end up pretty good. O yeah, I just remembered this blog has to be about stuff we are learning in class... One of the things we talked about was Iron deficiency, I am not iron deficient.. I would be low on iron if it wasn't for the multivitamin that I take. Is it not as good to get your vitamins and minerals from a pill rather than actual food? I have always wondered that.. O and a guy I knew from work was taking a liquid iron supplement.. He said that for some reason his body doesn't digest the pill form for some reason.. Do you have any idea why that would be? This class is tough because alot of it reminds me and sounds familiar from other classes, so I think I know it.. but i actually don't. And i keep getting confused on the difference between malignant and benign.. which is pretty sad. I am not sure why but this type of information is tough for me to retain. Like I took a stats test earlier today and didn't study at all and got 100%, but that type of stuff is easier for me, so was chemistry. I am definitely going to have to start working harder.. Wow this is getting too long.. sorry, I will keep them shorter from now on. bye bye.
