Creationism-ed

A conversation from a few minutes ago:

Nicholas: Jane - help me with this question. "In the nephron, amino acids enter the vasa recta via the process of: a) filtration, b) reabsorbtion..."
Jane: ...it's b)
Nicholas: How did you know that? Is it just strict memorization?
Jane: Yes
Nicholas: So I have to memorize which substances are reabsorbed, which are filtrated, which are secreted....
Jane: Yes
Nicholas: That's a lot to memorize!
[long pause]
Jane: Welcome to med school sweetie.

Two weeks of constant studying tends to make one goofy. I am cracking myself up crossing out the word evolved each time I see it and replacing it with the word creationism-ed :-)
