face and ribs!

i got to do the facial dissection today!!!


i didn't finish it, but i got all of the skin peeled away, so all that is left is cleaning it up to see the muscles.
i even got around the eyes really well!
it was difficult because the skin is really thin, plus he was an old man so he had a lot of wrinkles. i kept cutting through the skin on accident, because i had to stay as superficial as possible.
i cut most of the nose off, too.
that was weird.
dr bee wasnt' around, so i didn't completely cut it off... i wanted to ask her opinion before i did anything more.


at one point today, the TAs outnumbered the students...
and their exam is next week.

i'm forecasting a very low average (except for Nathan, Brandon and Monica. and probably Steve and Maureen... but those two aren't in the friday class)
these students are annoying.
i hope next semester is better.
i know a lot of TAs are thinking about quitting... it gets frustrating trying to help them when they aren't willing to put forth any effort.
i'm not quitting. not until i have to (graduation). i want to dissect.

rib cages next saturday!
woo!

I get the whole getting frustrated when they aren't willing. As a teacher, I face this quite often. But don't quit. your enthusiasm and passion is going to hit home to a couple of students, and you will make a difference, I promise you.
