Without A Sound.

Today's 'Smooth' Move:

So there I was this afternoon, walking up six flights of stairs with a couple friends to study at the Rutherford Library on campus. We finally reached a floor that had not been deemed a 'quiet floor' (for as we know--we're anything but quiet) and as we looked around the room, we spotted a padded, wheelie chair (much like a chair you'd find in an office). Of course, the three of us looked at each other and began the dash across the library to this chair. In a last moment act of desperation against track star Kyle, I leaped three or four feet into the chair--you'd think of all places to be klutzy, this is where it would have happened. But no--I made the jump and sat in the chair with a smug look on my face. I leaned proudly onto the arm of the chair to find out the arm was broken--the moment my elbow made contact, the arm flipped over and off the chair I went. At this point, I lay on the library floor giggling while Kyle leaned up against the wall laughing and Katrina just smiled and shook her head. It's a good thing we didn't go to a quiet floor...

Today's Highlight:

Not only seeing, but taking part in a research lab as my friend showed me around her work that she is basing her masters thesis on. As I looked around the room, I'm sure my face just lit up with excitement--in one spot of the lab I found a $250,000 'dummy' named Charlie (for it can be both genders) that is used to simulate rare medical conditions to give medical students a hands on experience at rare diseases that they wouldn't see in a hospital. I then got to use all these amazing resources as study tools for my exams. As dorky as this sounds, this amazing experience is right up there with my anatomy lab--by far two of the coolest things I've ever done.

Now...
I am taking a break for the tedious hours upon hours of studying I have undergone to enjoy a French Vanilla Coffee and listen to my music. As I sit here, I am making a mental note to burn some CD's with my new music for tomorrows drive back home.

Alas, I am going to take the last few sips of my coffee and go back to memorizing the origin, insertion, action and innervation of all the muscles of the pectoral girdle, forearm, instrinic and extrinsic muscles of the hand. Afterwords (if I can possibly cram over a hundred and fifty names of muscles, bones, landmarks, tendons, ligaments etc...) I will sit back, put up my feet and begin the reading that I was supposed to do over the last month for sociology (for that is exam number two tomorrow).

Let the fun begin...
