Happy March! Whine.

While studying immunology, I laughed unreasonably hard at 'RORgt' which stands for retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor-gamma thymus....uhh....seriously, who names these things?! And how is it possible to learn five thousand acronyms in one lecture? And more importantly, why do I care?


This is an actual sentence from our notes: "Types of iTreg include TH3, Tr1, which are CD4+CD25+FOXP3+, and CD4+CD25-FOXP3+ iTreg. The main effector CD4+ subsets are TH1, TH2, and TH17." 


Someone help.  


This semester has some of the worst classes I've ever experienced: immunology, neuroscience, and the all-encompassing Human Organs Systems. Whoever said this was an "easy" semester of 22 units was lying. 


Two weeks until Spring Break!
