 It finally worked. Happy 24th birthday to me! It took a while, but I was finally able to shrink myself to the size of an electron. I'm currently standing on the shrinking platform; the nucleus is way behind me and those little dots are the electrons zooming around. The atom I'm currently studying is an osmium nucleus. 
 
 I'm not sure I explained to you before why I was so adamant about doing this. After my father died of prostate cancer two years ago I decided to devote my graduate research on finding new novel ways to help other people with similar afflictions. I found out through prior research that a couple of osmium compounds actually exhibited promising anti-cancer activity. The reason I chose osmium instead of other elements to check out was because it's much more abundant and potentially much cheaper to use if this blows up ( hopefully because of whatever findings I can dig up ) into the open market. 
 
 I've been trying to catch an electron to ride, but they whizz by so fast I can barely see them! I need to get close enough to the nucleus to study it, otherwise there's no way I'll be able to justify the expense of my experiment when I get back into normal size. Here's to staying alive and hopefully a whole lot of luck comes my way. 
 
 Also, I'm hungry. I really should n't have skipped out on those donuts before getting shrunk. Damn.
