So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
Spontaneous nosebleeds.
Tuesday, May 8, 2007 @ 7:33 pm
On the drive from work to my lab exam in microbiology, my nose started to leak blood. I had to drive for 10 miles with my nose tilted slightly upwards with one hand on the wheel and the other applying pressure on my nasal cavity. I would have pulled over, but I was running late as it was, and I didn't want to miss out on a few minutes of the test.

Turns out I could have. The test was over and done so quickly that I could have taken time to tend to my nose properly. In all honesty, I should drop this class because it is far too easy for me, but then again, only a fool complains that he's getting an easy "A" and then drops the class.

Work ethic be damned--if I can get away with studying for only 20-30 minutes per test and STILL get a grade 25% above the average score, I'll take it. We'll just say that it's academic karma for all those times I studied for o-chem (or mo-bio, or cell bio, or...etc.) and was relieved if my scores landed me in the middle of the pack.

This frees up more time for more important things, like not being a hazard on the road. Or stopping the flow of blood without having to worry about crashing into a street lamp. Or sleeping off a long, hot, uncomfortable, not-at-all-gorgeous-thank-you-very-much-weatherlady day...

Pfft. Stop your bellyachin', Caliboy. Back in my day, where I'm from, we took pride in our nose bleeds. Meant you were a man.

I hear such lovely things about ochem and cell bio....

Darn, beaten by two seconds.

I wouldn't be complaining about getting easy As. When I was in school, I wish it was always like that.

Cannonball!
I'd love to sleep off these days...too bad it's waay outta my league. >={

I'm getting annoyed with the weather. Its all sunny in the morning, then the rain clouds move in but no rain. It gives me false hopes

I would automatically feel sleepy on gorgeous days.. I don't know why.
