Skull and Bones

Skull and axial skeleton today, fun fun fun. Our lecturer flies through the material, obviously he knows his stuff but I think they should take into account that some of the people in the subject have never done science, let alone anatomy and that just racing through reams of nomenclature might be a bit much for them. It's pretty rough for me and I'm reasonably knowledgable about cranio-spinal anatomy... Anyway lecture then prac.

We had some more people join our group today, but I forgot their names (sorry if you ever read this) they were girls too, which isn't surprising, 9 out of 10 class members are female. It's a little strange to be so outnumbered, it's even more skewed than psych, which is saying a lot. Still I'd much rather work with pretty, clever girls than with ugly, smelly, clever men. So we messed around with the skull and spine today. So many holes and dongles on the skull, it was a total nightmare, particularly because they lec didn't divide the skull up and go through it methodically so it was really much harder than it needed to be. The spine is basically repeating units so that was much easier. Everyone kept looking at me to help explain things but I don't know that much about this stuff so I did the best I could even though I was wrong most of the time. Still it went ok. There's a test on everything so far on Fri. They get specimens, stick pins in them and ask us questions about them. 15 stations with 60 seconds to answer each one before a (very loud) beeper signals you to move on. Guess I know what I'll be doing all of tomorrow.
