1st Quarter Reflection

Source, because I have to.
Anatomy is so much fun!  Even when we aren't doing lab stuff I get to look at pictures of rats with human ears growing on their backs and it really doesn't get much cooler than that!
Perhaps learning about epithelial cells isn't the most scintillating topic but the microscopes carried me through that and memorizing histology stuff is going to be helpful when we end up memorizing the bones of the human body.  One can't expect too much excitement from the first quarter after all.
A lot of biology lessons have begun trickling back, like cell structure, organ names and placement, and how to make a slide so I can look at my own hair samples.  This first quarter of Anatomy has been reminding me of all the things I've forgotten from Biology as well as teaching me new terms to use, like histology and homeostasis.  I'm not even sure if those are new terms or not but I'll take it.  Also, learning those terms for the regions of the body as well as the directional terms is going to make me sound like a super smarty-pants later in the class, which is a total bonus!
Basically, this quarter was really great as far as first quarters go.  I can't wait to cut things up.
