"Everyone has a price."

Last night I watched new episodes of Prison Break and 24.

Audrey Raines.....whhhhyyyyyyy?

Today I had a med school interview. So, my dad drove me. I got there super early, better than being super late. I was waiting in the lobby before I went to the Admissions office that the security guard pointed me to (I like people-watching and I had 1.5 hours to kill and didn't want the Admissions people to see how early I really was) when the lady came out of the office and asked if I was there for an interview. Of course, I was---what other well-dressed college-aged kids were there, looking all nervous----Anyway, she led to me the waiting room with other interviewee. Then we had the typical chit-chat. Some other kids came. Finally, my interviewer came to pick me up. A little old Indian man, I think. Or maybe he was from Burma, from the kinds of questions he asked me. For instance:

Q: What industry uses only English?


A: Apparently, the airline industry. Now, is that a general knowledge that I should know, or is it relevant to medicine in some way. If you know the reason, please enlighten me. Btw, I actually knew the answer to this because it was on some med school interview feedback website that someone recommended to me sometime.

Q: What's another name for Burma?
Q: What are the major Asian religions?
Q: What's the difference between Shi'a and Sunni Muslims?

Uh, okay, I didn't know about the Burma thing. I think I answered the other ones though. It was just strange, like he wanted to fill up his over-hour time slot with random questions. Ah, well. At least I got a free lunch.
