I treated Kristie to lunch at Moody's today in exchange for occasionally giving me a ride back to The Rog (I need a better spelling for that; Rog looks gross). Beer garden season is upon us, and I am pleased. Also, the usual assortment of squirrel and sparrow beggars was not in attendance, so we got to eat in peace.

The Pathophysiology/Pharmacology final was harder than expected. I destroyed the section on Reproductive Disorders and STDs, which is what I studied the least, and even though I felt adequately prepared, I kind of tanked on Musculoskeletal Disorders and Shock.

I enjoyed the class a lot. We had great teachers, and the textbooks were well written and interesting. This is an excerpt from the anti-depressant chapter of our Pharmacology book:

Yawngasm.

Rarely, patients taking clomipramine [Anafranil] experience yawngasm. Experience what? A spontaneous orgasm while yawning. Honest. This unusual side effect, which affects both males and females, may be considered adverse or beneficial, depending on one's view of such things. In at least one documented case, yawngasms strongly influenced adherence, as evidenced by the patient asking how long she would be “allowed” to continue treatment. Although data are scarce, one might guess that the occasional yawngasm would help relieve depression.
