Nerdgasm: "Platelet Rhapsody"

Greetings nerdy-pants!

The Pocket Protector now has a Tumblr, where all things outrageously dorky/geeky/nerdy can be found.  You can also stay up-to-date on my latest blog posts by subscribing there if you'd like.  Click here!

Ok, this is the last anatomy-related post for a while.  It's been my life for the past 18 weeks, so give me a break, alright?  My original intention was to record this and put it to a slideshow of blood-clotting that only iMovie could deliver, but I quickly found out that a) I'm very busy and b) have no idea how to begin to do that with high sound quality.

REGARDLESS,  I give to you my blood-clotting song that saved my ass during my final.  It's all about platelets, little packets of chemical messages that flow through your veins, and how they stop blood from draining in a wound.  Sung to "Bohemian Rhapsody"...and yes, nerds, I mean ALL of it.

I've included an instrumental version so you can sing along if you'd like.  Without further ado...

Nerdgasm: How to kill someone you really hate

Hellooooooooooooo university-type peoples!

I've done it!  I've escaped from the clutches of the Lapsansky monster's claws ONCE AND FOR ALL. Join me upon my scintillating pedestal of academic GLORY, weary travelers!  THIS BITCH IS A SENIOR IN COLLEGE.

After stepping out of my human physiology final yesterday, I had no idea what to do with myself.  I felt like a slave that had just been set free from the clutches of her evil master, a survivor of a nuclear explosion, like Snookie if she had been told that all tanning booths had been shut down forever.  I keep getting these horrible feelings of impending doom as if I've forgotten that I have something due in lab or a poster project or some random bodily function to memorize.  But I don't...and...well...it's absolutely brilliant.

I feel like it's an end of an academic era for me and a bunch of my friends, and I think the only appropriate thing to do is to impart onto you the most important lesson I have learned in human anatomy and physiology with Janice Lapsansky at Western Washington University, which is, of course...
