Stressing and Spazzing

1) 95-99% of immature T cells die while undergoing the maturation and selection process in the Thymus. While that statistic is very sad and discouraging for the T cells that start the process, it gives me hope.

The acceptance rate to residency, especially for Internal Medicine and such things is MUCH more than 1%.

If an immature T Cell (or people that get accepted to IIT or IIM) can do it - maybe I too will have my chance.

2) Salmon. They swim upstream to their birthplace to start their families - or lay millions of eggs - whichever sounds more poetic to you. Also, their sperm has the precursor of a pretty kickass antidote to heparin, protamine sulfate. Talk about multitasking.

I feel like those Salmon. Swimming upstream to the country of my birth to kickstart a new life. Or a pilgrim. In other words, an immigrant.

I've labelled myself, now I shall go back to lonely studying.

Sigh.

Well, if nothing works out. I can sit under a tree. I like nature. Maybe I'll have an Isaac Newton moment or something. Make my millions.

Shit.

But you can't patent a thing like gravity. Or can you?

The commercialization of the laws of nature. Every time something falls, I make a profit (if I were Newton). The Schaudenfreude millionaire.
