cats + cattle

Another weekend of crash studying, this time with buddy. She is studying for her medical boards, which (I discover) is mostly cheesy memory techniques for endless lists and lists and lists of medical terms.


We select Cattle + Cats + Cilled or Conception = Coxiella as mnemonic numero uno. (It's the small sad face that really does it, don't you think?)

"How's it going?" I ask, looking up from my geography notes.
"This section isn't so great, but the renal stuff was awesome."
"Renal?"
"I'll stop talking now."
"Mmm. Maybe it's for the best."

We then order more coffee and cookies--the only really proper snack to accompany the study of renal function.
