i see dead people

i see dead people.... three days a week, from 10-12 in the mornings... yup yup... still trying to get used to being greeted by a cadaver every morning from tuesdays to thursdays...

been squirted with 'juice' twice already since tuesday... 'juice' is my euphemism for the fluid contained in the meat of the cadavers that very often splashes out upon dissection.. eeyucks. *shudders* we were just discussing this that day and this is the order of bodily fluids i'd prefer to get splashed on me:

first on the list!! - 1. urine! it's clean.. really. compared to what the rest are like..

2. vomitus - pre-gastric over post-gastric.

3. blood - come on, girls are used to this...

4. faecal material - normal stools over watery diarrhoeal sorts.

5. fats from live bodies

6. 'juices' from cadavers

7. fats from cadavers

the anatomists taking us are pretty darned cool as well.. one of them looks like captain weetos and the other one looks like the short prince from shrek.. heh... weetos (not his real name) is totally eccentric! asking us to watch 'pride and prejudice' so we can observe keira knightly's cervical region : "ohhh! what a gorgeous long neck - oh! her sternomastoids!"



school's been pretty alright. easy-going lectures, roughly 1-2 hours a day of reading - easy peasy..

weather in glasgow's getting from good to bad... honestly, it could be sooo much worse... my flatmate isn't back from malaysia yet.. so that means i'm on all on my own!!!! which means i'll have more time to actually finish reading the books that i've started on!! haha.. that count currently stands at 4... "zorro" by isabel allende, "daring to draw near" by john white, "extravagant worship" by darlene zschech and The Bible, by God...

God is good, all the time! *wide grin*
