rat dissection again yesterday. i got a new rat to dissect. didin't got to see the rat head from last week's dissection due to time constraint. *sigh* the third one now. to date, i've killed three rats. three lives. didn't make a bloody mess this time. hmm... practice does makes perfect. even the teacher commented us by being experts now. ya, we're now professionals in slaughtering rats. *sigh* dunno 'bout that. all i know is i've got a lot of bad karma now. call me superstitious if u like...

done the usual procedure again. did the incision on the skin, then cut open the rib cage to expose the thorax region. once i did that, *gasp* the heart is still beating. check the lungs *gasp* ok, the lungs are not ventilating. *phew* i think i could've died of heart attack on the spot if i see the lungs are expanding and inflating themselves. got down to drawing then, which took up a lot of time since i'm not a gifted artist. wash the rat when time's up and put it in the formalin bucket along with its other peers. the heart was still beating all the while........ 'lub'.. 'dub'..'lub'..'dub'.........
