Deep Thought

When I was studying for my anatomy test last year, the library became a very upsetting place for me emotionally. As I frantically tried to learn the innervation, arterial blood supply, action etc. of every muscle in the upper extremities, I found the strange people (who were not medical students, and therefore non-existent to me) in the library to be very disconcerting. Here are some reasons why:

1. One day, on a particularly stressful day, I saw a girl wearing flannel pants with Christmas trees on them. All I could think (instead of concentrating with the diligence required) was that this girl had ventured out into the greater public with Christmas tree pajamas! I had 500 pages to memorize, and yet I don't even leave the house wearing my footsy pajamas with little goats on them.

2. These plebeian masses were not studying the same things as me, and therefore, the things they had to learn were probably a) easier and useless and b) not useful for me to compare my own progress to.

3. They would take up lots of room in the middle part of the library and bring distracting, elaborate Tupperware containers filled with Cheetos. Cheetos!!

4. I saw one girl studying undergraduate subjects like organic chemistry, which made me nostalgic for a time when all I had to remember was electron flow.

The only solution to this problem is to only allow people I know into the library during exam week so that I do not get upset and can achieve my full potential.

I'm so glad you have returned to blogging after the Mariam hiatus. The Mariam hiatus made me more upset than the esophageal hiatus, and I'll tell you - the esophageal hiatus makes me really upset.

PS - The Cheetos in the tupperwear was weird and uncomfortable for everybody. That chick with cheetos who glared at us so much should recognize that never again should such an act of inconsideration happen again.

in hayastan we call people who eat cheetos from tupperwear "injurheadass" which can be translated to mean "stupid woman with a big behind who knows now to kick mule in the ass to get reward" but another translation is "one who seeks horse with large hram."

Dear Mariam,

I believe the correct solution to this dilemma would be to hold Rush every fall for each popular study location. Not only would this weed out the socially-awkward and fasion-challenged from your learning environment, but it would provide an excellent opportunity to make theme t-shirts.

P.S. If God wanted us to wear Christmas tree pajamas to the library, Gucci would make them.
