Well, that's (almost) all she wrote

Two projects done this week. One more assignment to pass in tomorrow morning. And that's it for Semester 1. On Saturday, we start final exams.

We're all really tired. Most of us are severely lacking in motivation (myself included). We're still mostly having a good time. Tomorrow is Ugly Christmas Sweater day. I couldn't find an ugly Christmas sweater. So mine is going to be Slight Unattractive Sweater with Ugly Christmas Tie. Close enough!

There's some movement of groups. People are scoping out new groups for anatomy next semester. Next semester we do ponies and goats. If you're doing a goat, it's three people to one cadaver. If you're doing a pony, it's six people. My group is one of the few that still really likes each other and still works really well together, so we're sticking with each other. (People formed groups before they knew each other, so now some people hate each other. Or some people are still friends, but can't work well together.) We're opting for a goat. I know horse anatomy reasonably well as it is, and J and A didn't care either way.

Speaking of J, A and I... None of us will be brain surgeons. Who would have thought the brain is so damn complex? I can just about manage "cerebrum", "cerebellum" and "brain stem". But there's so much more than that... We have to know what every single part of it is called, and what they all control. And everything seems to have three names. And do eight functions. And it all looks the same. Except the cerebellum. It looks like cauliflower.
