I walked in to class with about 30 seconds to spare, a practice that I have become quite good at . I end up with hot flashes and drinking all the V8 I took in with me. However, as I struggled with my premature early signs of menopause my professor introduced the speaker of the night, Professor-Awesome-Kuriyama. He was to skype with us, while he lectured us through his Mac. He showed us pictures from his book while he engaged in an interactive relationship with everyone in the class. Mr. Kuriyama wrote the book The Divergence of Greek and Chinese Medicine, and is practically as close to a genius as you get in today's day. He is about 40 years old, and has been working on this book for the past 20 years. Apart from all his other responsabilities, he is a professor at Harvard University.
Here is a link to a lecture by him Part I :

It was the highlight of my day . I'm truly thankful for technology and for the opportunity to attend college, broaden my horizons and the humbling experience to share a few thoughts with a genius of our day.
