ohmy.

Terribly sorry for not keeping updated.  It seems that as soon as I got home my life was pulled out from under me like a rug.

I finally have a few seconds to breathe and kind of update on life.
School has been going absolutely wonderfully, aside from a crazy physics teacher, who can't seem to teach, an anatomy teacher who, well, I'm still working on that.  Comparative labs are absolutely wonderful.  Last week we dissected the lamprey (really ugly eel like parasitic thing thats apparantely been destroying sea life in Lake Michigan (?))
Here's some photos:

I mean, as bad as it smelled, I got used to it pretty quickly, and well, it was kind of fun.  Lecture on the other hand, not so much, and everyone's basically having a heart attack about the first exam, which is totally natural right?  All my other classes, all 3 of them, dance, bioinformatics and scientific research techniques have been pretty good so far, aside from a little drama that has picked up in one of those classes, but I mean, there's always going to be drama, no?

My Supplemental Instruction classes are actually what I'm having the most fun with.  I didn't think I'd have this much fun teaching, but I guess it's also because the people I have in my classes are absolutely wonderful, they participate, they're eager to learn, some more than others, but no complaints there, and they're just great in general. 

Just a quick short update on life, I'll probably be posting more cool dissection things in the coming weeks, we're supposed to do the dogfish shark this week *gets excited*

Off to do physics so I can watch the House, MD premier tonight :D

Happy September!

Good-bye August, you were, as always an incredibly awesome month :)Between completing the end of a very long internship, birthdays, time with best friends, being happy in a stable relationship, and what is panning out to be a pretty good trip, August has not disappointed.
Tonight I was walking down the streets of Brussels after a dinner that took about 2 hours in between appetizer and entree (I guess they had to catch the Sole first?) and found myself somewhat smiling - being confident enough that whatever problems I'm having, I can work out.
Brussels is an absolutely amazing city - beautiful sites, beautiful churches, beautiful food servings, beautiful everything.  I can see myself being here for a while in the future.

As for September.  It's kind of a bitter hello.  September brings up a brand new school year, new teachers, new books, new planner (which I bought yesterday and already filled in all the days off, vacations, and meetings).  I'm always somewhat intimidated by a new school year, what are the teachers going to be like, what are the classes going to be like?  Am I going to do well?
But I am excited to see all my friends again - last semester has probably been the best one so far - I finally found my niche at school <3
We shall see what the future holds.

On another note, I found this sketch book today, with enough pages for a sketch for everyday - 365 daily sketches...
I didn't buy the book, sketchbooks are easy enough to find and get for cheap, I may even have a few at home.  Thinking of doing this. Thoughts?
