One Hundred and Fifty-eight,

Influence exists, there's no doubt about it. Up until now, however, its power over me has not been that powerful. My merits and personal traits have carried the day even in the face of influence at times. Going through medical school though, it's going to be tougher to fight influence. And I successfully made that fight tougher for myself by accidentally hitting "Reply All" to an innocent email. I'm clumsy, as my friends know. Apparently that conveys to mouse-clicking too at times.

I'm nervous, but I'll live. And whatever can't kill you, only makes you stronger. I heard that somewhere once.

Fifty-four, Kidney!

I had this in my "business" inbox today. Thought it was funny considering we just got tested on kidney pathology*!

*For the non-medical types, glomerulus is a functional filtration unit in the kidney composed of a small ball of capillaries.

Three, Spam

Nothing like a long day of exams to set you up for a full five minutes of heavy laughter upon opening your email inbox.
