It’s exam time. Yet again. It always seems like exam time.
I’m at the uni doing a mixture of study and buggering around that is probably best described as 10% study and 90% buggering around. I’m not motivated – as usual – to study, but this time it’s a little worse because it’s an exam covering everything from the last two years. While that sounds scary, my brain tells me: ‘at least this time there’s no mad dash to just cover the material at least once – you’ve already done it. Kick back.’
But I know my brain tries to deceive me.
So, here’s my list; the causes of hypertension:
- Idiopathic (aka we don’t know)
- Pregnancy
- Age
- High BMI
- Cushing’s Syndrome
- Conn’s Syndrome
- Hypothyroidism
- Hyperparathyroidism
- Oral Contraceptive Pill
- Phoeochromocytoma (my favourite)
- Shitty Diet and lifestyle (salt, tobacco, fat, stress), and
- EXAMS.
I really can’t get my mind to go past that one!
you forgot ‘dentistry student’s in the library’.
Yeah totally. They get me so maaaaad!
(in my head) “Stop screaming in the library, you f*****g douches. Nobody cares about cavities.”
(out loud) “Could you guys please just keep it down a little? Kthx.”
