So here's the lowdown on the fieldtrip to see the cadaver:

I basically hung out with this one girl...uhh dont remember her name, but we talked about music, and back home. She's from the Bay Area too, so we would talk about Valley Fair, and local bands. She came from Milpitas, and knows Roseanna. LOL SMALL WORLD. She didn't see the cadaver, she called it "F-ing disgusting" LOL

We get to the community college, and we go into this small lab room, and there are dead cats that had been dissected. We were placed into groups of four to observe the organs of the cat. I put my latex gloves on and started digging inside the cat to see what was inside. The smell was naaaaaaaasty. The cats look WILD, as if they'd been shot while they were screaming. Anyway, there's this thin covering that holds all the intestines together, so I peeled that off, and started pulling out its large intestines. They felt like the tubing material on hoses. One of the assistants showed us where the cat's ovaries were, and said that if we kept pushing our
finger a little lower, then.. well, you know. It'd come out. from. Yeah. Uh.
ANYWAY. The cat's throat was slit too, so we looked at the glands in the throat, and when we (two people on each side holding the cat open. The cat was cut down the belly) looked underneath it's liver there was all this juice. NICE. After we took off our gloves (yum, particles of cat intestines) we went into the room with the cadaver. The cadaver was this old 77 year old man, that seriously looked like an old leather shoe. His face looked like those masks you buy at party city. Anyway, his crotch was covered with a happy face plastic bag. Nice touch. He looked like those people from Men in Black where their stomachs opened up. The lady assistant, gorgeouuss! Opened up the man's abdomen and pulled back the skin. WOW we have SO MANY LAYERS of skin. It looked like two layers of cow hide. Then they talked about the functions of each of the organs inside the man's abdomen. Then we rode back on the bus, and told the girl about the cadaver while i was eating string cheese. I think I was more grossed out about the cats. I kept smelling cat intestinal juice while I was eating. But, hey, when a girl's hungry she has to eat!

Today I met another girl... forget her name. She's in the same class with me and cadaver girl. We went into groups to "study" for our exam on friday but we just talked about why we each moved, music, and movies. She uses the word "INTENSE" a lot. Hahaha She told me to watch Girl Interrupted. I LOLed at Brittany Murphy's character, who is supposedly obsessed with chicken and laxatives? Hahaha

Anyway, remember that Japanese girl, Alysa? Well she came over and hung out with my brother and I. Then she introduced me to 2 korean girls. ZOMGG FINALLY. One girl is literally FOB STATUS. She came for the exchange studen program, but she'll be moving soon to change host families. The other girl came from Korea around 5 years ago, but might be moving. I started speaking in Korean with them because I was so happy. Then I asked them THE QUESTION....if they liked TVXQ. They said yes and my heart almost burst. The girl from Korea said she liked Jaejoongie and Yoochun, and 5 year girl (I think her name's Courtney) likes Yunho and Yoochun. I wanted to talk to them about TVXQ, but lunch is only so long. At least I'll know they're in the library. woooo sucky thing is that they might be moving soon. T_T Why do you do this to me, God! Gives and takes. Anyway, I heard there's this "Korean" table from Alysa, so maybe she'll introduce me. Alysa is really "Oh my god, like wow"-whitewashed-Japanese girl, but she's super friendly and nice. I'm happy that she's befriending me. What a nice girl.

Anyway, I think I aced my math test. WOW. WOWOWOWOWOWW. seriously. Hopefully a B at the LOWEST, but I think I did well on it. I'm so happy! Most of the questions were questions from the practice sheet Mr. Fitzpatrick gave us, and I love him for that. I'm so happy people here aren't smart asians. SO happy. I better raise my grades. I MUST.
