First Impressions

Plastination, It's cool

Started today, I biked in this morning at 9am, got to the class eventually. The lecture theatre took some finding. Anyway, I get there and it's locked so I hang around with a bunch of other people for a few mins before I try knocking on the door. The lecturer, Dr Kippers, opens it and lets us in.

Not a bad hour of anatomy (ANAT7000), went over bones and then off to the lab to muck around with human remains. That was a bit strange at first, seeing kids with arms full of bones marching back and forth but you soon get used to it, and the smell. My gloves didn't fit, large is never big enough so i'll probably have to buy some XL ones. I wound up sitting with Melinda, Cathy and Laura who were good fun to work with.

We broke (haha) for a two hour lunch so I went home to yummy sandwiches (thanks Sarah).

Got back for another 3 hours, lecture on joints, off to the lab again to poke around some plastinated body parts. They looked like old steaks. After two hours of arguing over whether an elbow is a hinge joint or not, we finished up.

Looks alright so far, I have some sort of meeting tomorrow morning but thankfully I'm done at 12. Oh and there's a test on Fri, yay, what a great holiday so far!!
