I am Vivien, a.k.a. Vivia. My nick name here in Germany is Bucki, pronounced Bookie, because I am a chicken.
I moved to Düsseldorf and am now studying medicine in my second semester, hardcore.

I am so into solo piano music when studying.

Hubert and I love to study together. Today: nerves coming from the brain + holes they go through.

Today, my cousin and I found out that when a girl puts a flower in the right side of her hair, it means she’s available. The bigger the flower, the more available she is. My eleven year old boy cousin told me to “cut down a palm tree and put it in my hair”. FML

When you touch your sclera (white part of eye) with a q-tip, it works without you having to shut your eyes. But if you try to get to the cornea (clear part where the eye color starts) you can’t resist closing your eyes, even though you are really trying to resist. (This is due to to a reflex - the N. nasociliaris (coming from V1 - N. ophthalmicus, coming from V - N. trigeminus) “feels” the cornea, so the N. facialis “shuts” the eye thru the M. orbicularis oris.) Just learned this and tried it. It’s true. Usually stuff from the books is really never true when I try it. Often that means I would be partly paralized, haha…

Ich habe gerade beim Wahl-O-Mat für die Europawahl teilgenommen und das Ergebnis war: Die Linke.

Dann habe ich die These, dass die Gesundheitsversorgung in Europa standardisiert werden soll, abgelehnt und plötzlich wurde ich zum FDP-Wähler.

Diese Wahlomaten beschränken sich aber wirklich auf ~~das Wesentliche~~ Nebensächlichkeiten.

Bird imitating sounds.

That is what today felt like for me.

I don’t want to be special. It’s weird. I want to know what it means.
Turning it off and on removed it. Strange.

My iPhone home screen says “Special” right underneath where it tells you what time it is. Can’t figure out what this means, it has not been there yesterday. Does anyone know?

“ Ich möchte, dass die Studiengebühren abgeschafft werden - dass endlich mehr in Bildung investiert wird! Mädchen in Wahlwerbung für die Linke (?!). Meiner Meinung nach ein widersprüchlicher Ansatz. Bei Abschaffung und keiner Erhöhung des prozentualen Anteils am BIP (wie die FDP es verspricht) bleibt uns doch eher weniger als mehr?!

Balcony-love on Amazon is over now. I will start back after the long weekend with finally studying some neuroanatomy. How fun!

I am looking for a good biochemistry and physiology book and it’s sooo going on my nerves! The answer from the amazon people for the physiology book is that there simply is no good German book.
Oh, yes.
Note to self: get the Duale Reihe (biochemistry) and Speckmann (physio).
