Rachel Desiccated...

So I can say farewell to A&P. Tonight was the final exam and the last time our class will meet. Goodbye, Professor Holden. You were a wonderful teacher, hopefully we will meet again for A&P II. (Perhaps again for A&P I, who knows.) Goodbye cold seats near the window. Goodbye exceptionally tall, hot guy; I think I'll miss you most of all!

The farewell did not fail to leave one little bump in the road. When Rachel met me at the library she was sick as a dog, had not studied, and was approaching Defcon 5!

Now at this juncture, I must explain a tiny bit about the nervous system. When a signal is sent along the a nerve TO the brain, it travels along the spine and to an area of the brain called the Medulla Oblongata. At which point it makes a lateral move, called a DECUSSATION, across the Medulla Oblongata, and then up to the Thalamus. Now the reason for this techno-babel is that Rachel said: "I haven't studied, I'm freaking out, and I know nothing about this desiccation!" To which I said, "I think you mean DECUSSATION."

She gasped, "Oh my God! Thank you for telling me. I would have screwed it up. I was completely anorexic." Then I said, "Please tell you mean dyslexic?" All the blood drained from her face, and shot right to mine. I laughed so hard I almost had to leave the Library. I'm going to miss being in class with her.

Now I am watching Patrick Stewart play a gay theatre man on Frasier. It's quite a compelling acting job, but I have an issue with seeing Captain Picard hit on Kelsey Grammer...and now they're ballroom dancing. Oy! Goodnight all!
