Although have been exposed to cadavers and many specimens of the different body parts in the anatomy lab in the 1st & current semester, we had our 1st session of cadaver dissection today. Only got to operate on the upper limb for today. Gosh, I can still "smell" the strong formalin emulating from the cadavers. My friend actually told me during lunch at the table that her friend told her b4 that it smelt like the chinese preserved meat/ sausage but one that was over-preserved!?! Definitely not manz! It should be much more worse than that...
My lab gown was stained brown slightly by all the dissected subcutaneous fat. Had to admit that the cadaver that I was dissecting on was really fat. There's such a thick layer of fats & skin in the arm and plam which made it all the more difficult to see the different structures or even find them. Bits & pieces of dirty yellow fats + rotting skin were practically strewn everywhere around the whole arm. Made me realised that the dissectors had truly put in hard work in preparing the nicely dissected specimens. Hmm future dissection sessions to come..maybe will start to get use to the smell?! hahaz nonetheless, think anatomy lab sessions are fun & really interactive.
We got to massage each other yesterday for our physio prac lesson, mainly on the upper back and leg. Our 1st massage & might be the only one for this sem.. Didn't realise that my trapezius muscle (at the shoulder) was so tight but had a good rub & pressure on it :P For this semester, we seemed to be focusing more on assessment & palpation. But it seemed like we'll be given cases where they'll basically incorporate everything (includ. 1st sem) plus massage into exam. Everything taught or learnt would be continously being assessed instead ~ esp during clinics..pls I need some super memory power! 'o'
Think the water that I drank today felt like it's the cleaniest and healthiest ever since I've stopped using my previous kettle in the middle of my 1st sem. hahaz coz I just bought this water filtering jug and a new electric kettle today. Had been drinking tap water ever since the inside of my previous $10 electric kettle had turned horribly yellow and with more than half of the heating coil rusted. Think I realised about the rusting part rather late..argh I might have consumed considerable bits of the silver lining of the coil already :P
Just came back a while ago from the PowerSave Party.. hahaz coz we helped to save quite a sum of money for the college electricity bills after having an active powersaving campaign with all water & electricity saving posters pasted simply everywhere. Had the free cooked instant mee goreng and food e.g. chocolates! After the live band started to play, people began to flood in slowly. There is in fact a LAN party going on simultaneously also.. which is going to extend into the weekend including the entire night. There are only a few people playing on their laptops when a few of us went to pop in. It looks kinda pathetic with ~4 laptops on thr big table in the big tutorial room. But they were saying that it's gonna be flooded only towards or past midnight. By that time, the "killing" atmosphere could be really tense. hahaz hmm can imagine :P
