"All of these apply to the lymphatic organs EXCEPT..."

Pick the correct statement, pick the incorrect statement. The whole histo exam was like this. So the exams finshed about 2-and-a-half hours ago. Since then, I've drunk beer, vodka and champagne. I'm glad I'm only 21 years old, otherwise I'm not sure my body could handle it. Tomorrow I work at the student-run clinic. No late night celebrations for me, I guess. Working there maybe will give me be better stories for tomorrow.

By the way, I did well on Genetics. I took the histology midterm today. That was a seriously challenging exam. Without hyperbole, I am hoping to have passed. That's it, just a passing grade will be fine - yet I am, in all fairness, one smart motherfucker. Med school is hard.

"Fried Brain Seeks Same"

I came to NY to meet new and interesting people. The message below is from one of my favorites. Mind you, this email went out to all 180 people in the class of 2009. I would be game to participate in the orgy I'm sure will commence if it wasn't for the clumps of pheromone-catching love strands protruding from her armpits.

So, I'm just about at the end of my synapses (ho ho ho...) and was thinking of calling it quits after a bit o' dinner. I was wondering whether anyone would like to get together for some group massage? I have oils and am willing to teach anyone who is interested in learning some techniques (as long as you reciprocate). Both my roommates are studying so probably best not to use my apartment...

Perhaps around 8pm?

Let me know!

Maybe I'll take her up on it in the off-chance there's a happy ending involved.

Ah, but that reciprocation clause is the rub.

I thought I moved away from California.

"Update your blog ya lazy bum"

Not much time...

1. Two exams this week
2. Saw the sunrise on two consecutive days with no intervening sleep.
3. Apparently everyone has inborn "freaking" talents that can be unleashed by 6 to 8 ridiculously overpriced Heinekens in a Manhattan club.
4. If you scrounge through campus conference rooms long enough, you will find leftover faculty meeting food that is free for the taking.
5. Hukas have become popular with the college kids, yet they are still as rank as they were when I was in college.
6. Living with furniture is better than living without it.
7. There are no good bike routes in The Bronx.
8. Giorgi is not a top shelf brand of Vodka.
9. In order to sneak Giorgi into a club, you need to stash it next to your taint.
10. New Yorkers take security very very seriously.
11. New Jersey really does smell like it looks.
12. One of the best restaurants here is a Chinese/Mexican take out place.
13. All the roaches in the Chinese/Mexican place mix up their L's with their R's
14. Sickle cell anemia is one bitch of a disease. I'm glad I don't have it.
15. The Bronx tap water is actually better than the bottled water they sell here.
16. My roommate, Dr. Shock, may be able to out-drink The Big Nasty.
17. The Big Nasty can out-drink almost anyone I know.
18. My Mom can out-drink both of them.
19. I can eat watermelon using just my face faster than anyone else at my med school.
20. It's fun to watch baseball from the 3rd row off 3rd base, even if you are at RFK Stadium.

That pretty much sums up my life here in the past 3 weeks.
