Picture Wall

One of my hobbies during this winter break has been framing some pictures and prints to fill up our bare walls. The walls still desperately need a coat of fresh, neutral colored paint, but it’s nice to have something on them. Amy Brown faery prints go well with plaid. This little-at-a-time project has been good for calming my mind. I’ve been psyched up about spring classes, which start in January, and now also psyched out about one of those classes.

Psychology is one of the classes in the line-up, but not the one that’s bothering me. I’ll probably enjoy that one the most. The one that’s bothering me is the one for which a cat dissection lab kit had to be shipped to my home.

New Semester

That class is anatomy, and the scalpel in the kit might as well have been used to cut at my heart. I can handle the cow eye that came with it, and even the sheep brain. But the cat!! They might as well have sent me a preserved baby. Where do these cats come from? I understand that we have to learn about human anatomy somehow, and we have much in common with other mammals, but this is so hard to rationalize. Hopefully cats aren’t being raised for the purpose of becoming college dissection lab components. I’ll have to find out, exactly, and then decide what to do.

There’s still some winter break to enjoy, and the other courses (and the other parts of the anatomy course) to look forward to.
