It was just like any other lazy friday.. with a late start at skool, and endin at 1... so did the usuals, woke up later.. but in the bus i remembered that today was goin to be a day like non other.. for 2 reasons... 1stly, the pool table was supposed to come today.. it was only a 7 x 4 Ft table but it was free to use non the less... so i actually ran up the hill to get to the common room only to dismay.. so got the boys and Barry (Father of 3 but prob the biggest kid himself.. lol)..lol.. together and hackied for a while till we got called up by McSwiny (our lecturer) and we all felt like Pr skool kids gettin told off..
At 1.. end of lectures... hackied awhile again, and then.. it was off to disection.. but due to the hacky, had to eat lunch on the train to disection.. yes pple.. disection.. and not the normal biology disection wif rats or frogs... we were diseccting cadavers.. and to thoes that din get it.. we are disecting actually dead pple.. this means.. i have seen and touched a dead person... not just seen him, seen inside him.. The freakest thing is, when we just got to the disection rooms, there were a couple of pple workin on the cadavers as well... standing the screens where we put our bags, we heard a very loud screech.. and the 1st thing that came to our heads was someone screaming.. but after a couple of seconds, we realised it was just a drill or a saw... but wait a min... wat are we sawing here?!?! and then we were later told that some of the other students are doing some studies on the brain so they had to remove it.. so we all got distracted and started watching them.. and all i can discribe it, is, it is like opening a coconut.. it sounded xacally like the crack when u remove the top half of the scull even after the sawing... and for a moment after the top half is removed, the brain will be hangin out of the head...
We then went on to our body where one of our other lectures were in the process of removing the shoulder gurdle..it was intersting all that.. nx week we will have to do it again and for the rest of my nx 2 yrs... many more chances to touch a dead guy... but after all that, i would give it second thoughts b4 eating "lap chiong" (chinese sausage) cause that is wat the bodies almost smelled like.... But it has been a great hornour to have the oppotunity to do so.. i mean how often does anyone get to see a dead body and would u even donate ur body even in the name of science? So i say we should respect them as much as possible.. and may god bless their soul...
