Yesterday was our first day of anatomy lab - everyone shows up in scrubs so their clothes don't smell like formaldehyde at the end of the morning.  Unfortunately, the truth is, everything that goes into the lab will smell like formaldehyde for a day.  Kind of gross, particularly since I don't like bad smells.  I also still get a little weirded out by naked people.  I might need to get over that soon.  Our cadaver is an old guy that my group has christened Horace.  I lucked out with my group, everyone is pretty easy going and gung ho about dissection without being overbearing.

Last night was the LSU mixer downtown at Tucker's.  It looks like a pretty standard-sized bar when you go in, but then it actually winds around back where there is another dance floor plus an outdoor deck and sand pit for volleyball.  I was DD, so I wasn't so up for dancing, and ended up playing a game with my classmates vs. a few LSU med students (in a skirt, no less).  I've busted all the capillaries in my forearms, but it was a good time.
