what a lab...

Attention: this blog is only for those of you who have a strong stomach...
So today during my anatomy lab we went a little crazy.. we had to disect the digestive system (stomach, intestine, all that kind of stuff), and the head... so my group started with the digestive system.. we had to cut the stomach and look for a bunch of valves.. I'm cutting the stomach open right? and what starts coming out??? all the food the cat ate before he ... died i guess... it was disgusting.. and then we found out that our cat had a huge stomach, because none of the other groups' cats had that big of stomachs and they basically didn't find and food in theirs... awesome.. so we get done with that (we found a bunch of other stuff too but it's way too disgusting for this blog) and we start on the head.. we were given this knife thing and we had to cut it and take half its face out.. let me say this first though.. my group consists of me and three other guys.. big football player kind of guys.. so you would think they would be brave enough to do this without complaining or actually gagging.. well they couldn't.. it was disgusting.. the sound it made and the feeling you felt when you were going through the bones and cracking stuff.. just horrible.. but at the same time kind of cool.. don't get me wrong I'm never going to do this again in my life, but it just fascinates me how our body looks like from the inside..
well this is it for today.. tomorrow is our last day of class before break and I can't wait..

So first of all I have to apologize for the past two weeks' posts.. somehow they just disappeared after I posted them.. apperently technology hates me, but I already knew that..
Anyways... THE TRINE FOOTBALL TEAM MADE IT PAST THE FIRST ROUND OF PLAYOFFS!!! We played Depauw University and won 45-35!! this was the first game this season that was actually close and made everybody nervous, but we won and it was just perfect... so next week we are playing the defending champions Whitewater in Wisconsin... so exciting!!! This means that I am not going anywhere during Thanksgiving break, because being from Italy you know I'm obviously not going there.. but my boyfriend is on the football team and they are going to have practice the whole week and I don't want to drive by myself for 4 hours to go to my hostparents' house.. which is good, because with finals creeping up on us I need to get all my projects and papers done... so hopefully i'll get everything done and the football team will win and keep going on their way to the national championship.. it's going to be hard, but one can always dream right?
