"In RA immunomodulation by inhibition of aminoimidazolecarboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) transformylase, and polymorphonuclear chemotaxis decrease autoimmune destruction."

3 Midterms combined into one test on Monday. 

Guys, it's so on!

Wish me luck!

Who do you think you are?

It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Don't know when I'll be back again.

Flash Mob School in London

So you're in the atrium, signing up for the gajillion clubs your medical school has to offer (the acronyms of which you will forget the minute the check is cashed) when all of a sudden.....scrub tops are coming OFF!  The bass is ON! And about 40 of your upper classmen are doing a choreographed dance to Party Rock...  This is the most awesome thing that will happen all year!!...or at least it should have been.  lol.  This is exactly what a bunch of my classmates tried to do to surprise the M1s.  This normally would have totally been my thing, but I couldn't go bc of a doctor's appt...THANK GOD!  Why?  Bc what happen instead was the scrub tops came OFF!  The crowds started looking!!  And then....the speakers broke.  Ay yi yi.  I was so sad for them.  Even as a spectator, I was excited, I had my phone out and everything to video it, but I can only imagine how they felt.  For any of you who have never seen a flash mob, check out this clip from Weeds: Flash Mob - Weeds.

I'm feeling better and generally more optimistic.  I'm still feeling considerably overwhelmed, but I feel like somehow things are gonna be fine.  I've been working on my fitness and eating really well and I think that it helping, but the thing that I think will help the most (and the thing I'm praying for the most) is to sleep.  I still am having such a hard time sleeping. Studying overall has been good.  I still take forever to go through everything, but at least I feel like I can focus, so that's a good thing.  As for the boys, holy mess....  I'm in some kind of fierce trouble.  The best kind.  (Of course, trouble is taking a backseat for now.)

My dad is coming back in town Friday!  I'm looking forward to having dinner with him and the rest of my family.

I'm really busy with school right now, so can someone please tell me what is going on in London?  All I saw was a video of a REALLY ignorant BBC reporter interviewing a man who was really upset about what's going on.  3 sentences or less please. =)

To conclude....

A smattering of things medical...ish.

• I wish I had never googled pustular psoriasis
• Skin is disgusting.
• People who name gross dermatological conditions after themselves concern me.
• Almost every condition in dermatology sounds like a spell from Harry Potter (ex - Pemphigus Vulgarus)
• My roommate thinks that the puppy is giving him a staph infection.  

Medical Students Converse about wedding veils

Me: Are you wearing the same veil?
Med student #2: My veil is going to sit lower on my head but its just plain like hers.
Me: U mean lower like more posterior?  If not, what do you mean?
Med student #2: Well hers is on her crown.  Mine will sit like on my occipital protuberance.
Me: Got it!  That's prettier.

It's been awhile...

...but it has been requested of me to start updating my blog, since I am again in the land of no life!  (i.e. - med school year 2)  I normally ignore such requests from people that require extra work, but the people who requested gave me a food processor!!!  I feel like I owe them one (or a hundred billion as the case may be).

After two summer semesters, I'm finally in the last year of my didactic courses of medical school.  It's 100x more interesting than my previous classes, but with sparked interest comes challenge.  What?!  They want me to THINK like a doctor now?  They're not just gonna test me on facts?  Grrrrrrr..  I guess someone clued them in on the fact that nothing is black and white.  Time to get my mind to think abstactly.

...This is gonna hurt.
