Under [partial] Pressure

I really don't hate chemistry. I even got an A in Gen Chem the second time I took it. But when I am looking at a lecture now, and I see anything about partial pressures, my eyes immediately glaze over. This has made respiratory physiology/pathology, and recently blood gas analysis excruciatingly painful to get through. Just now, I was powering through clin path and I got to the blood gas analysis section and had to immediately stop and write this post. There was no alternative. Now I am thinking about switching to urinary systems path to avoid it all together. THAT is how much I dread the idea of partial pressures. They aren't even that complicated but I refuse. I would rather stay angry at them and befuddled by them. So I'm obviously an incredibly rational person.

I'm just waiting for 3:00 to hit so I can go home and, on my way, get a $1.00 large french vanilla iced coffee with skim milk from DD.

I love getting a good deal on stuff but sometimes being so poor really gets annoying.


end rant.
