I had to get up even earlier than usual this morning to move my car from the faculty lot back to my parking lot. The school had us move our cars so that they could plow the lot, which is stupid bc it's snowing RIGHT NOW. Ugh....
Anyway, I stopped at Dunkin Donuts for breakfast, since I have class 8-5 on Tues, and got stuck in "traffic" on the way back. Which is like half a mile. Anyway, I ended up being 10 min late to vertebrate biology, as I had to run all the way from my parking lot (holding my cocoa) to my class, which of COURSE is located on the far side of campus. In the 10 min I was late, my prof issued out a pop quiz, which I ended up missing. Double ugh. And that's not the worst of it. To sit down in that classroom, you have to walk its entire length because when you walk in, everyone's facing you (and it's REALLY overcrowded). And all the front seats were taken, so I had to squeeze through and I think I knocked maybe five people unconscious with my backpack. And each time I turned to apologize to one person, I hit another... whoops. >_<
Paedomorphosis is cool too. It means that a sexually mature organism retains the morphology of a child at an adult stage. Basically you're an adult with the body of a kid. I feel like that's a pretty good insult, eh Shakespeare?
Mammalogy was a little bit better. I got to say Euarchontoglires.
Policy was a bore, but mammalogy lab was awesome. I really
really like my TA. He's really enthusiastic about the subject and genuinely gives a crap about his work. I've had a lot of TAs, and most are only in it for the stipend. This guy is clearly in it for the long haul. And how can you NOT love a guy who tries to hide a tie-dye shirt under a button down in order to look "professional". WIN.
Anyway we had to assemble cat skeletons (yes, real bones). It was kind of ridiculous as no one else had any experience with bones, but I've already taken human and animal anatomy and physiology when I was still a pre-vet major, so I knew my stuff. See?
My last lab (GIS) got out wicked early. Bleh. Give sme enough time to get dinner before going to the gym with my friend.... (although I don't really feel like it bc my stomach is full of hot wings.... oooooooh dining hall, why do you take away all of your good/healthy food at night? WHY?) That and I'm slightly concerned since it's currently blizzarding outside. I might not be able to make it... maybe we'll go in the morning?
Laters!

I did get to learn some pretty cool words though. Like deuterostomes, rhinencephalon, ovoviviparous, schizocoelous, and symplesiomorphy...
