I will definitely be happy once these tests are over. I have a histo/physio exam on Tuesday on Gastrointestinal, Respiratory and Renal systems. Then on Friday I have an anatomy exam on pretty much everything between the diaphragm and the legs. And there is a lot in there. Much more than you'd think, actually.

Here's a little fun fact about renal physiology while I'm on the subject. The kidneys are made up of hundred of thousands, possibly millions of nephrons, the functional unit of blood filtering in urine production. Every individual nephron filters 180 liters of blood plasma every day (your entire blood supply moves through your kidneys and is filtered in minutes). Urine output is only about 1-2 liters everyday, so more than 99% of what is filtered is reabsorbed into the blood. I just thought it was slightly crazy that these microscopic structures are filtering a volume of blood that would fill one of those recycling bins we put outside our house every week EACH.

Anyway, long story short I haven't even left my apartment today. Just been studying and studying and studying...

And to make matters worse, no Heroes until January 22nd! Also, someone told me that Studio 60 was canceled. Anyone know if that's true?

Back to the studies!
