So all semester I have been dissecting things in my Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy class! This has been, by far, the hardest class I've ever taken. Throughout the semester I've written 5 essays and after each of those essays I've had to grade 3 of my peer's papers, we've taken 2 lecture test and I'm about to take the 3rd test in lab.
Lab has been my favorite part of the class, lecture is another story!!! Our first animal that we dissected was a dogfish shark(I named mine Harvey)! We then dissected a mudpuppy and I can't remember what I named her :(.
Our last assignment for lab has been to dissect a cat. My cat is HUGE, I think one of the parents was a tiger,ha!!! I named my cat Mr. Whiskers!
I also have met a really good friend in this class (we've had other classes together before) and her name is Jana. She's such a sweet girl and we work so well together!!!
I thought I'd share a few pictures of what lab is like everyday!
This is Jana :)
Meet Mr. Whiskers
This is Jana's cat completely revealed!
(Mine wasn't so pretty)

I know you warned us....but that is about the most disgusting thing I've ever seen!!! It's not that I'm squeamish, but it looks so scary! I have a new respect for you, girl, you're a real woman! Love ya!
OMG!!! I have never in my life! Better you than me because I would have dropped that class a long time ago! Gross-----but I still love you.
This is disgusting! Glad you love it though!
i can almost smell that stinky smell of preservative. I don't think I am missing college too much by looking at your pics. The biggest thing I ever disected was a baby pig. What is your major again. I hope you didn;t just write that in your blog and I missed it.
I dissected a cat too in AP Biology in HS!! It was a whole semester long thing, so we didn't open them up until the very end. Mine had a huge belly during the skinning process, and I kept saying she was pregnant. Mr. Shaffer said, "no, you have to pay more for a pregnant cat; she probably died of feline leukemia." Well, whatta ya know?? This future OB nurse opened up that darn cat and she had babies in there!!
OK, now for the gross part...two of those baby kitties were in a jar of preservative in my closet for four years. I didn't throw them away until I was moving out to get married!!
What a story! Ha! Don't know what you are majoring in, but if you are a science nerd like me, you will not see anything wrong w/ this!
PS. I would have to bring her home to study (I at one time knew the names and function of over 200 of her muscles!) and my mom would make me study out in the freezing cold garage. She wouldn't let kitty come inside!
