I see....dead people.
May. 26th, 2009 04:40 pmWe had our first meeting for teaching the summer session of Human Anatomy and Physiology. There has been one significant change from the last time I taught the class: they are now using cadavers instead of dead cats. It will be...interesting. Fascinating, in fact.
I hope I'm not fat when I die.
I am realizing I've forgotten a fair amount of what I knew--it got replaced by a lot of other, more pertinent, information. So I will have to do some brushing up (my brain is going, "olecranon process...fossa...foramen magnum...biceps brachii...humerus...iliac crest...lambdoid suture..."). On top of the research.
Yeah. This is why it's going to be a rough summer. There will be three, three-hour labs each week, plus additional time spent dissecting out the cadaver. I might take a 1-week break from this experiment to get teaching squared away. But I can't really afford to stop this experiment--every day counts, and I need to keep it going. Yeah. That's what gets me closer to graduation.
I think the biggest challenge is going to be eating. I need to start making Rebecca Chow (big pots of edible food that can be eaten as leftovers for the week). The only hard part is figuring out how to work in all the sorts of random vegetables that we get from our CSA. Peanut sauce might be the answer. I can cook up a big vat, and then bring it in to the lab refrigerator to eat for lunch and dinner (assuming I can eat after exposure to cadaver fumes, which is a big assumption).
