distention with a fluid or gas

I've been accepted to the doctoral program! Kind of a "duh", but very nice to have that little letter. I'll write more soon: I have been grading like a little bitch since Wednesday. Well, actually like a big bitch, since I am having to deal with a few fucktards who do not seem to be able to read directions and who are (of COURSE) going to be royally pissed when I do not give them the grade they think they deserve. I ain't giving them the grade they deserve either because I wasn't allowed to: can anybody say grade inflation?
