there is a light that shines on the frontier

Q: What does Fahye do when she's heartily sick of her nutrition notes?

A: GIP

(With bonus themesong! Tori Amos - Pirates)

So...ask me anything about cancer, AIDS, SARS, tuberculosis or mad cow disease? Don't make me go back to the bloody hormone regulation feedback loops. I DON'T CARE HOW MEN MAKE SPERM. NO, REALLY. GO AWAY, HELPFUL AND OVERLY GRAPHIC DIAGRAMS.

KILL ME.

*helpfully runs through with cutlass*

Join me in my jolly ship the Denial. You can be my zombie first mate. It'll be great fun.

[ryokophoenix.livejournal.com]

Fuck me, I am going to fail.

Not really fond of the whole eating brains business, to be honest. But, eh, what can you do when there's a cutlass sticking out of your chest?
Quite intimidating, really.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

It could have been a make-believe cutlass?

*Peter Pan logic*

I know enough to pass. I know enough to get 60%. I have having real trouble gathering enough motivation to learn any more.

[ryokophoenix.livejournal.com]

The knowledge I have is the difference between not showing up at all and merely bursting into tears during.

Perhaps you could just maim me? I mean, if you stabbed an eye out, I'd get special consideration AND an eyepatch.

I live but to serve and obligingly mutilate my friends.

Don't suppose you want to come into Civic with me after the exam tomorrow while I pick up my $50 book voucher and, uh, prod me when the pile of drool at my feet gets embarrassing?

[ryokophoenix.livejournal.com]

Why thank you. It is greatly appreciated. *snaps on eyepatch*

...after...exam...? You mean...life goes on? What is this concept?
So long as you can handle dragging around a lifeless, depressed and constantly weeping corpse of a person - sure!

Oh pish. You're going to do far better than you seem to think.

(Although, here; have a handy icon.)

[ryokophoenix.livejournal.com]

No. Fully. I understand nothing. I do not know what anything means. I am fucking doomed.
I'm even breaking out the cussing, w00t.

I think we're meeting at 12 for lunch, by the by, if you want to come.

Totally off to shower, before my brain makes a bid for freedom.

am happy to help you understand STUFF at 12, if you'll be calm enough to learn. i can teach you enough in that hour to get you a pass, if you're REALLY that far gone. but stop panicking, because it isn't going to help you in the slightest.

Yes, tell me all about vCJD. Do they have that in Upside-Down Land? Are cows a naturalised species in Upside-Down Land?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

We have MANY cows - I don't think we have any BSE cows, but the big thing is that anybody who lived in Britain for more than six months over a particular time period could be carring vCJD, and so isn't allowed to donate blood. I was living in England at the wrong time, so no donorship for me :(

[strange-selkie.livejournal.com]

I was living in and out of the UK at the wrong time AND I SLEEP WITH WOMEN, so they don't let me donate either. :-D

So, tell me.

How do men make sperm?

>D

[fahye.livejournal.com]

WELL NOW *manic grin*

There are five million names for the sperm at different stages of development (spermatazoa, spermatid, blah blah blah) and they are made within SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, which is kind of fun to say out loud, and then mature and are stored in the EPIDIDYMIS. And then if they aren't...released...they get reabsorbed. It's freaky. And there's all this mess involved with testosterone regulation and OOH I KNOW HOW VIAGRA WORKS.

BIOL1008 - teaching first-year science students the stuff they Really Need To Know.

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

!!! my extra credit on the anatomy final last year was TOTALLY about sperm!

I had to explain how the pre-ejaculation processsssss is like how dutiful men with brooms etc must clear out a street before the parade can come through.

THE SPERM PARADE!

Ji? You've killed me. You've killed me DED.

Dude, how do you think I felt writing about that on an exam? XD
