Sorry I haven't been posting. This should make you feel better.
"It's not quite sex, drugs, and rock n' roll but it's close" ~Archaeology Professor
"I think we can all agree that we don't want our sex organs on the ground." ~Bio Prof
"There's an egg and a sperm...and a magic moment occurs." ~Bio Prof
"I'm just teaching you how to be obnoxious and smart without really knowing anything." ~Bio Prof
"Students really seem to love multiple multiple choice exams, so that's what we'll be doing." ~Bio Prof (That's total bull by the way. Students HATE multiple multiple choice)
"I know the difference between a yam and a sweet potato. That was my pick up line in college." ~Bio Prof
"Ok I promised you some sex. We're getting there." ~Bio Prof
My biology professor has a stutter and I never find it funny until he gets stuck on the word "because" because it makes me think of the Wizard of Oz.
"Now I know I have a stutter and it can be problematic so if you don't understand what I'm saying just be like 'Hey Jeff, too many syllables not enough words.'"

Biology
I basically hit the quotation jackpot with this professor. She's amazing, and foreign so it makes it twice as great.
"APOPTOSIS!" - look it up. It's one of my favorite biology things.
"Boundary Bay is the whole reason for being in Bellingham."
"...state of flux..." - love it. It makes me think of Star Trek.
"Bilge pump" - sounds clean.
"An excellent way to cheat is to study." - Let's philosophically ponder that statement for a moment...
"It's a pain in the 3' end." - she likes this one and says it often. I find it incredibly nerdy.
"vignette" - One of my favorite words. She's the only person other than my high school English teachers that I've heard use this word.
"Syncytial, two 'y's. It's like your Polish grandmother's name. Lacking in bowels." - Too funny. Too true.
"Meiosis is like a square dance. All the couples go line up in the center of the barn and dance around...or whatever you do in a barn..."
"Mitosis is like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre..." - I will always think of that when I see a picture of mitosis.
"Binary" - another Star Trek word. Love it.
"The protein was all denatured and crapped up." - This is coming from the mouth of a woman with a PhD in Genetics.
"I just love making people feel self-conscious." - Mean.
"When I say semi conservative I'm not talking about how John McCain is kind of republican."
"I'm not gonna hold you responsible for quantum physics. Although, it's a weird and wonderful place." -I'm sure.
Random thoughts:
Can you recycle pens?
Wet dirt smells good.
RAS makes me think of The Rescuers.

quote time
First set of the year!
Chemistry:
"Aw man I'm messin' up all over the place...You can tell it's Friday huh? How much longer do we have...?" ~Chem Prof
Biology:
"It's like Las Vegas in the cytoplasm." ~Prof
"I carry a copy of the genetic code in my purse." ~Prof
"...because kinky is good...it is in this context [unsaturated fats]." ~Prof
"Proteasome = 'the Doomsday Machine'" ~Prof
"The good DNA fairies and the bad DNA fairies [mutations]." ~Prof
"That's what happens when we die. We achieve thermodynamic equilibrium. It's very Zen." ~Prof
My thoughts:
I love the words "tertiary" and "quaternary." Nerd words.
Chemistry accident stories make it worth my time to come to lecture.
Viajar=Aprender
I like the Spanish (and I believe Italian as well) "chispa." It means "spark."
I also have "H2O analogy" written in my notes. I have no idea what I meant by that, but there it is. Hopefully I'll come up with what it was later and elaborate on it.

things from my brain
I'm an obsessive note taker when it comes to life. I like to write down things as they happen. I like to make lists too. It's more like I have to make lists actually. If I don't then my brain thinks I need to remember all of these things and it wastes space in my brain's hard-drive. My notes and lists usually consist of quotes I like, thoughts I have, real life stories, etc. Right now I have to wait 10 more minutes before I can finish my online chemistry homework, so I thought I'd post my first set of life notes.
From Chemistry:
Professor: "Iron is my favorite element...is iron anyone else's favorite? OH COME ON! It's in your blood! It's like everywhere!"
Professor: "This[homework problem] is kind of an easy little plug and chug."
From Anthropology:
Professor: "We'll have a lecture about chimpanzees. Everything you ever wanted to know about chimpanzees. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll have to leave to go to the bathroom...I guarantee at least one but probably all three of those things will happen to you."
Professor: "...Canadians speak another language than us. It's very difficult to communicate with them."
Student [about exam]: "How heavy will the terminology be?"
Professor: "Very heavy. It's all written in words. Does that help?"
Professor: "We know this is the mother. How do we know? It came out of her! There's potential of a hospital switch...happens all the time."
Professor: "It's hard to text message with a hoof. I'm learning about that sort of thing."
Professor: "Well I've raced a jaguar..." I'm pretty sure he was talking about an actual jaguar.
Professor: "Hopefully there will be no other slides...nope two more. Damn."
Professor: "We are an ape...I'd hate to break it to...some of us..."
Professor: "It's pretty boring just reading the test questions to you...probably something ethically wrong with that. I dunno I'll have to check the handbook. I should probably do that more often."
Professor: "You're supposed to be anxious before a test right? That's good for learning."
Professor: "I can't tell you all the answers because then no one would get any wrong."
Professor: "I'm retarded."
From Biology:
Professor: "Enough fun right?"
Me: "That's what I always say."
Professor: "Let's turn on the lights so I can kinda see the whites of your eyes."
Me: "Well my whites are kinda red today so..."
Professor: "Males aren't really equipped to do anything by themselves."
Professor: "I don't mean to shut you down, but I am."
Thoughts:
My new softball mantra is "don't swing at crap."
During cell biology I'm am constantly suffering from information overload.
Serendipity is a beautiful word.
The zygomatic bone is my favorite bone, closely followed by the acetabulum.
Crepuscular. Who knew?
Extant is a funny word.
Further and farther are tricky.
