Unreached Goal (journey of a nursing student)

Just found this video
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxWrLJIlJ8g)
while I was browsing around trying to find something else that uplifts my spirit. I so need it right now. This video perfectly speaks to me about timing. I’ve been through many trials and surpassed a lot of them. Now, I’m in the path again where I want something so bad and I want it certain time and been doing it my way. It’s really kind of aggravating to the point that it makes me want to pull all my hair when you don’t get the result you wanted. Sometimes things just don’t work the way you want it. You can think all kinds of negative things toward yourself due to your disappointments. But you really can’t linger on that for so long because I knew that success doesn’t lie in that point of view.

So, I will wait and keep working toward my unreached goal. Probably have to remind myself over again that God is in control, not me.

Types of Eukaryotes

Eukaryotes are organisms that have a membrane bound nucleus that houses DNA. As what I have learned, eukaryotes have many levels of cellular complexity compared to prokaryotes (bacteria). Aside from having a true nucleus they also exhibit compartmentalization that allows a cell to carry out specialized chemical reactions in different places. Organisms involved are: fungi, animals, plants, and protists. Below are my compilation of its type for the purpose of studying.



1.) Yeast- Heterotrophic, unicellular, have cell wall, oval in shape, reproduce asexually(budding), Class: Ascomycetes

2.) Rhizopus-Heterotrophic, multicellular, aseptate mycelium, sporangiospores, zygospores, Kingdom: Fungi

- are a filamentous fungus frequently isolated from soil, decaying fruit and vegetables, animal feces, and old bread. They are occasional causes of serious, and often fatal, infections in humans. Certain species are plant pathogens as well.

3. Penicillium- Heterotrophic, multicellular, septate mycelium, conidiospores, ascospores, Kingdom: Fungi

4. Aspergillus: Heterotrophic, multicellular, septate mycelium, conidiospores, ascospores, Kingdom: Fungi

4. Chlamydomonas: Autotrophic, unicellular algae, oval and flagellated, Phylum: AlgaeKingdom-Protista.

5. Amoeba: Heterotrophic, unicellular, possess pseudopods, free-living, Class Amoebezoa, Phylum: Protozoa, Kingdon: Protista.

6. Euglena: Autotrophic, unicellular, possess one anterior flagellum, free- living, Class- Euglenozoa, Phylum Protozoa, Kingdon- Protista.

7. Paramecium: Heterotrophic, unicellular, possess cilia all around, free-living, Class- Ciliophora, Phylum- Protozoa, Kingdon- Protista.

8. Trichomonas: Heterotrophic, unicellular, possess 2 flagella, parasitic, cause vaginitis, Class- Archaezoa, Phylum- Protozoa, Kingdon- Protista

9. Trypanosoma: Heterotrophic, unicellular, possess 1-flagellum, parasitic, sleeping sickness, Class- Euglenozoa, Phylum- Protozoa, Kingdon- Protista.

10. Plasmodium: Heterotrophic, unicellular, lack cell wall, non-motile, intracellular parasite (cause of malaria) complex life cycle(definitive host- mosquito- alternate host human), Phylum: Protozoa, Kingdom: Protista

11. Schistosoma: Heterotrophic, multicellular, lack cell wall, flatworm, Adult fluke (head with suckers), Class -Trematode, Phylum-Platyhelminthes, Kingdom- Animalia

12. Taenia: Heterotrophic, multicellular, lack cell wall, scolex (heads) & proglottis (segments) of tapeworm, Phylum-Platyhelminthes, Class- Cestode, Kingdom- Animalia

13. Trichinella: Heterotrophic, multicellular, lack cell wall, roundworm, encysted larvae in muscle tissue, Phylum: Nematoda, Kingdom- Animalia.

Journey....

Here I am blogging at 2:00 A.M. after giving my brain a little break from studying all night long. This has been my routine almost every day. Sometimes, I sleep earlier than 2:00 A.M-which is not good. I pretty much force myself to stay up that late to be able to absorb things I need to put in my head. Images above are the books I am studying every day and the courses that I need to get over this semester. So far with my first exams, I did really good in all of them. As a matter of fact, I have couple of exams that I made the highest. I'm just hoping, I would be able to maintain it. Actually, the courses I am taking right now are nothing compared to what I had previously, especially the Physiology and Math- Oh, my goodness! I did not have it easy. But the important thing is that I passed it all right now standing with the GPA of B. It's my goal to make A's on these present courses. I am so glad I am over with the hard part.

Well, blogging has been one of the things that help me keep up with my journey being a student. I am constantly checking if I am on the right track. I always want to be aware of what to do next and be ready to adjust to any changes that could take place. Overtime, I could say I have handled stress a lot better than before. Hopefully this hard work is going to pay off someday. It would be nice to look back, smile and say, "Those were the days".
