Help my depression

[cornerofmadness]

give this meme a shot Give me a title to a story you think I should've written, including (if you wish) fandom and pairings, and I'll write a summary who knows you might inspire me to write something.

Why am I depressed? Not ONE student thought my kitty cd-rom was cool. No one looked at it. Hell, they barely wanted to dissect. Whine all you want guys, these kitties have to last 8 more weeks. They ain't going to get any better smelling. Yes you must cut into them. No, you can relax I will NOT touch you with my gloves if they're dirty so if I touched you you know I'm barehanded or freshly re-gloved. Yes I DO put my tools in my pants pocket. I'm used to touching this stuff and being covered in toxic goo, relax. I'm not dead yet. Yes, i DID touch it with my bare hands. Just don't you do it. If you scream, you best be gushing blood and not because embalming fluid spat at you! And yes you will all be vegetarians by the end of this because I can't help making food references. Deal with it. Pathology/Physiology/Anatomy are ripe with these analogies. It makes a quick point

Dear Student #1 - okay, so you've done this before, telling me that does NOT make me let you out of lab. I put YOU in charge of helping your fellow students.

Dear Student #2 - Asking me which labs the lab practical is one while I'm HANDING OUT the test makes me want to embalm you. Don't do it.

Dear Lab Company - don't know where the fuck you get these anemic cats but damn, either you send me catzilla or some scrawny bastard even I can't find the muscles on.

Dear Students in general - you've beaten me. I'll only put two muscles from the cats on the exam Latissimis Dorsi and Serratus Anterior. You got a 50/50 shot so expect me to ask you WHAT THEY DO!! And expect these cats back when we get to organs and no whining then or else I'll pull the organs out and tag them sans reference points. I swear it.

**Hugs** Sorry to hear that your students are being such wussies. Personally when you mentioned the Cat cd-rom, I kind of got a little green around the gills. The thought of dissecting anything makes me go green around the gills.... but you know what that's why I decided a future in liberal arts (or possibly chemistry and physics) was the route for me to .... and definitely not anything that had labs where I had to dissect something.

Anyhow.... to help take your mind off your students:

Anatomy for Beginners - Spike & Drusilla.

will work the title tomorrow thanks.

There is no biology here that doesn't dissect something and we make even liberal arts people take it. No one escapes me (cue evil laugh)

See if that had been the case, I would not have gone to that school. That's how much dissecting grosses me out. Seriously if I had been told that in order to graduate from SFU, I had to take a biology class, I would have been "See ya." Unless I could find one where you only dissect plant life. That I could have handled.

i can't think of a liberal arts school in this country that would not require one biology class

I am sooo lucky to have gone to school in Canada, our liberal arts platform definitely did not require that.

Mine didn't. You had to take a science/math class but it didn't have to be Bio. I was a comp-sci major and didn't take any lab classes. I didn't have the time.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

here you have to take one bio and one chem/physics

Anatomy for Beginners - Spike & Drusilla - Drusilla teaches Spike all the best places to drink from and where to get the best screams, teaching him anatomy one victim at a time.
