in lab, we've been doing a lot of flipping and flopping of organs and bodies. we moved to the back and worked through the muscles and down to the spinal cord and then today we moved back up to the front and followed the brachial plexus and arteries down into the upper arm. things are starting to get pretty smelly (if you can imagine them being worse, seeing that despite the first day or two i don't even notice the constant stink of cadaver on my classmates and i anymore), but it was pretty neat. we learned some interesting things that corresponded in lecture about various nerve damage and how it presents itself in different ways. i'm excited to start learning about clinical stuff and the actual applicability of everything we're learning. i feel like i've spent so many years learning abstract things that were hard to put into real life and now i'm finally learning the exact things i will be using and doing for most of the rest of my life.
amanda and i woke up at 5:15am today to workout. it was AWESOME. we lifted (legs) and then i ran two miles. after the hour plus workout, i still had time to take a cold shower and make a strawberry banana yogurt granola smoothie. yum. i've felt really good all day and much more awake and alert. the plan is to continue with this 5 days a week. and since i'm getting my workouts done in the morning that means anything that i do later in the day is just bonus exercise! woot. feels good.
tomorrow i head back to CT for my little sister's graduation party. yay! it should be lots of fun and i'm excited to see everyone.
