Sheep Brains and Surface Tension

In half an hour I'm going to my lab where we're dissecting sheep brains! I'm really excited, I love dissections. Furthermore, as stated before, I'm way beyond interested in the brain. My friend, Emily, and I were reminiscing the days of cat dissection in high school last night. I learned, and have retained, so much anatomy from having done those dissections. I respond well to hands on learning. Hence, my excitement towards my approaching brain dissection. The one downside is that it is right before lunch, and although it does not bother me personally, I know that the women I eat lunch with at the Kappa house won't necessarily care to hear about my brain dissection as they eat. I guess not everyone can talk about dissection over a meal... I feel the same way about mustard, if I think or talk about, or even worse, smell it, while eating my stomach pulses with pain. In fact, writing about it makes me feel sick.

Tomorrow, I have a lab dealing with surface tension. I don't have quite the same enthusiasm about that one. None the less, it should be interesting, and in my opinion, any lab day is better than being in a lecture. So, I won't complain about the hands on opportunity.


Love the lab,
