A Long Hump Day

embryology was fun. he was all about the placenta today.
we were supposed to have an hour of "testing orientation" (whatever the hell that's about) but the office forgot. so nobody came, then someone checked, then it was was cancelled. I ran a couple errands with geneice.

physio was alright. someone spilled coffee behind me during it so we had to get bags out of the way and get paper towels and clean it all up. kind of a mess and i'm sure i missed a few notes, but it happens.
biochem was about lab techniques - i definitely know all of those. she didn't even finish but that's fine. enzyme kinetics tomorrow! lol

i finished scanning my pics in lab and ate lunch while i did some reading. met up with geneice at anatomy lab after and spent about 1.5 hours in there looking at other people's cadavers and such. i'm starting to get the hang of it, although i've heard the questions are really complex, and we only have a minute for each one.

i.e. "what nerve innervates the muscle that has an insertion where the muscle that this nerve innervates has an origin?" so i have to know what nerve is tagged, what muscle it goes to, where that connects, what muscle also connects to that bone, and the name of the nerve it's innervated by! it's not just "what is this?" which is why we all study 24/7.

I studied some more after that. then we had our md/phd discussion group. we talked about smallpox, vaccinations, public health, informed consent, and bioethics. it was quite good with only 8 people there. it seems everyone is good and liberal which makes for an easier discussion. it went pretty quickly and they fed us too. :) but still, 8:30am-7:30pm is a longass day.

tonight i'm finishing up my power point presentation and doing the reading for tomorrow's anatomy lab. oh and daily show too. :P

apparently two separate people have asked geneice if we are dating. *eyeroll* do people have no gaydar?

science joke/pun of the day: "I know a few people who want to do some disulfide bonding" about how disulfide bonds "hook-up" one protein chain to another.
