Kate and I had a conversation the other day which began with her narration of how she was helping out with the decorations for something and how no one except her knew how to spell "piranha."
I said, very intelligently, something along the lines of "there's an 'h' in there somewhere, right?" which of course led immediately to hand waving and exclamations of "that's exactly what everyone else there said!" so I pointed out that, hey, at least I learned how to spell "cephalaspidomorphi" (zoology class, what fun), and Kate retorted that piranhas bit people. I argued something along the lines of that cephalaspidomorphi evolving earlier which was again turned aside by Kate's statement that piranhas bit people, which, I was led to believe, thoroughly trumps all other characteristics of any organism. I then remarked that with ideas like that, that must be where her rabbit gets her beliefs, which led to a good laugh since her rabbit DOES seem to think along the principles that while being Cute and Fuzzy is well enough, as far as modus operandi goes, Biting People is For The Win.
To be fair though, she hasn't bitten me at all since Kate came back. I think she's bitten Kate, but she always bites Kate, so I'm not sure if that counts.
Meanwhile, I have the bioenergetics midterm left. Today's lab midterm for plant anatomy is astonishingly hard, being that it contained a part where we had powerpoint slides of things we had to identify as well as a part where we were given two pieces of plant and had to prepare and dye the plant samples, make the slides, and then name all the tissue, cell, organelles, and visible cell metabolic products that we could see with a light microscope. (There are very many things.)
Eye twitch, I've concluded, is an inevitable occupation hazard.
