Well, I was really stressed out about today. First I went to school and was there for the "meeting" which I left early when I saw my anatomy teacher who told me that the cadaver lab field trip was still on. So I went on the interstate and drove for what seemed like much too long as I left behind most civilization and was really seeing the more desert-like part of Colorado, but then I found the exit and had no problems finding the college and the room we were supposed to meet in. I was unfortunately in the second viewing group meaning I sat around for a while, but then I finally got to go and see the cadaver. It was VERY interesting. I've seen two dead people before...one was my grandmother (the only grandparent I had ever known) and the other was a girl from my school who hanged herself...anyway though, they atually still resemebled people, it was no doubt that they were the same, that they were real. The cadaver looked fake in comparison but I'm assuming that's because it had such a heavy embalming process. It was an old many of eighty-four who died of health problems triggering by his smoking (his lung was all black and purple and squishy, I should know, I held it in my hands [wearing latex!]). But I'm not normally bothered by dissecting things, however weird that might sound. My partner is the weak stomached one, but she's really smart, so I usually do the dirty work such as cracking the rib cages of a cat or a rat, and cleaning out the icky dried blood, and just in general handling the inner organs while she'll help me to identify and memorize so I suppose we're a good team. Anyway, on a less disgusting note- Then I drove home because I had about two more hours of which I was excused of school. That's when I came onto my usual forums and posted about wasting time. Then I returned to school to turn in my psychology game project whch was supposed to be due a LONG time ago. And after that I had lunch, and then went to AP United States History (which was boring but luckily she didn't make us take the test, yey!). I didn't get to talk with my boyfriend today. And I sincerely hope he's sleeping right now, he should know we'll have most of the day on the weekend to talk so he better be in bed right now resting. *sighs* I really miss him...I couldn't stop thinking of how I wished he could've seen me play in our lacrosse game today.. Oh, speaking of which-we slaughtered them. So that's one of the three last games which we NEEDED to win. As for tomorrow, I have to come in early to take a cat practical I missed, then I have a test in Honors Pre-calculus (gag me), and who knows what in AP Language and Composition. And then in the afternoon we have a game against I don't know...our third or fourth biggest rivals? Although the team we slaughtered today tied with the team we're playing tomorrow, so if we played like today, we should win. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for reading if you still are. -xoxox ToRi/Miley
