Currently Listening The Cool By Lupe Fiasco Fighters see related

Last night was simply glorious- Lupe Fiasco, Rihanna, N.E.R.D., and the self-proclaimed brightest star in the universe, Kanye West.  I paid $90 a few months ago expecting just to see Kanye and some up-and-coming hip hop artist, and was treated to some of the best artists today (if you haven't heard Lupe's 2nd album, I highly recommend it). I'm not really a Rihanna fan, but wow, the girl can sing! Umbrella ella ella eh eh eh! Turns out, yesterday was Kanye's birthday, so we were treated to some (I believe) impromptu monologues... and for those of you familiar with him, it didn't disappoint   A 5 hour concert for $90? Unbelievable.

In more important news, I have this week the biggest exams of my life. For those of you who aren't familiar, I'm going to D.O. school, which is basically M.D. school plus some extra classes. If you've ever been to the doctor, you may have seen a D.O., since they practice the same scope of medicine as M.D.'s. Anyway, I made the choice to come to my current med school based on many reasons, as I didn't really care whether the initials after my name were D.O. or M.D. (For those of you familiar with this and care, yes, I did get into multiple U.S. M.D schools- I wasn't one who took his second option by any means). So, this week I get to take not just one, but two separate Step I board exams, the COMLEX and USMLE. These are quite probably the most meaningful exams I will ever take, as they can have a strong bearing on where I will do my residency. Keep me in your prayers especially this coming Thursday & Sunday as I will be sitting in front of a computer trying to keep my sanity for 8 hours. Seriously, pray hard. I need it.
