11:19 a.m. Sitting in the library trying to focus on my 25-page epidemiology paper, due in a matter of days, I find myself debating the paper�s title. It is currently entitled, �The Biomedical Basis of Disease: Problems and Limits of Epidemiology� but I am giving serious consideration to changing it to �The Conquest of Infectious Disease: The Resurgence of Genetic Diseases and Other Inborn Errors.�

11:28 a.m. Lost in thought, still weighing my two title options, I am suddenly brought back into consciousness when I absentmindedly equate �conquest� with sex. Appalled with myself for caring so much about something not fashion, food or sex related I declare to the quiet room, �I�m a huge nerd.�

11:30 a.m. While being forcefully escorted out of the library I turn to my fellow students and assure them, �You know I was kidding. I�m not really a nerd.� In an effort to strengthen my defense I toss out, �Did you know pink is the navy blue of India.�

11:31 a.m. Luckily I thought twice before declaring to the crowded hallway that, �I�m a huge gay nerd!�
