You know you're going crazy when...
First sign you're going crazy when studying:
You start to read your lectures in the accents of the lecturer. Right now I'm doing it in my head, but I'm sure as soon as I get a bit nuttier I'll start doing it out loud. My medical school seems to have a thing for hiring South Africans - so right now I'm learning about pediatric upper airway obstruction in a lovely South African accent. How come they say trachea so weird? (i.e. Truck-eee-a). It kind of makes me giggle.

I "think" about the organs of abdomen in an East Indian accent. Not that I think of them regularly... but when I have to... then East Indian it is. Oh and determine will always be det-ter-mine. And zero will be gero. Scarred for life by profs with accents
Ames,
Whenever I think of the phrase "rigid body" (as in rigid body mechanics, not what you were thinking of!) I will always hear it in an east indian accent a la guelph professor dude. Oh, and don't forget quidges instead of quizzes.
My anatomy teacher pronounces trachea that way too! Plus, she says stuff like pull-mow-nry (for pulmonary) and you-rhine-airy (for urinary). We're all developing weird accents from listening to her, but we love her anyway.
Enjoying reading your blog!
Oh, how true! I will forever think of the "prrrrrrree-zentrrrrrral ghyrr-us" thanks to our French anatomist.
