First day of classes

Classes started this morning at 8am with gross anatomy lecture. It is a huge class. I'm pretty sure it is larger than any class I took at CSS (and there are only medical and dental students in it). It is going to be a hard class, lots of studying and lots of time in the cadaver lab. I am glad this is our only class for the next 7 weeks or so.

I also had oral anatomy today, but all we did was hand in our jar of teeth that we collected. No biggie. I was also able to meet my body buddies while we were in oral anat.

We have an extra long break today because of oral anatomy being so short so I checked out the cadaver labs, made sure I could find my way. Now I am sitting in Josh's lab trying to kill some time. I already prepared myself for the cadaver lab this afernoon and looked up some vocab words hat I new once upon a time so I am ready to go.

Today we are disecting the shoulder and chest area. Some of the highlights we will see are the pectoralis major and minor, the deltoid, the seratus anterior, and some arteries, veins, and nerves which I can't remember the names for.

It looks to be a long afternoon in the lab, at least 3 hours. Then Josh and I will catch the bus home. Hopefully we won't miss it. The last bus comes around 5:40, so if the lab goes longer than anticipated I might be walking...
