Cadavers!

I was actually expecting younger cadavers, with full bodies, but I suppose they're in really short supply. Probably cause they tend to be either buried or have their organs cut out for transplants and such.

I'm finding the lectures interesting in a sort of... means justifies the ends way. I think it's kinda bad.

I don't really have a passion for it when I'm just semi-actively learning it. It's only later in discussions I care I suppose.

Biochemistry and Histology. Proteins and tissues. I'm doing so much bio... I suppose it makes up for not doing it in HSC.

There's two assignments and one written exam every course, including what they call a "reflective essay".

I'm managing to integrate it into my blog, thankfully though. And I suppose you guys might be slightly interested in what happens in the upper campus.

Tomorrow's just a practical and it's in... Biology?

I think that's lower campus. Can someone guide me around there? :o

The reflective essay is about the first week of med...hmm. It should be fairly interesting, huh.... I'll get round to writing a quick draft on the weekend I think.

There's an assignment which is researching Peter Doherty. Apparently there's some really advanced science involved. I wonder what it'll be like. He's an immunologist who's still alive today, haha.

ISS Staffie applications due tomorrow at midnight D:

Does anyone else want to read it before I send it in?

Cadavers. I guess they were anatomically perfect within bounds of normality but...

So old D:

And the risk of contamination is incredibly high in those labs. I'm going to assume from now on that everything is contaminated in a mixture of decaying biological matter, formaldehyde, phenoxyethanol and methanol. (Had to check up the second one)

And we're learning so much anatomy :o Bones...muscles...joints...systems.

What the. One of my folders...oh. It's not missing, it's on the table behind me.

I bought a lab coat, but if anyone wants to wear it for kicks, it's at your risk. It could be contaminated. I'm going to pretend it is except when it's freshly washed.

Latex gloves are really fun.

I think the only thing I regret from this prac was that I didn't take down more notes, but that can be rectified later. It'll be a little more effort, I suppose.

Otherwise reasonably fine.

I'm not sure why or how Tuna insists that even in Med I'll have time to game and socialise and get drunk and all that stuff.

Though, he's taking time off gaming as I speak...sooooo.

Anyway, he's in RMIT doing a Music-related degree that I kinda forgot.

For anyone who is mildly affected, I've rescheduled so Fridays don't have students.

Hoping you guys are having lotsa fun times.
