Salsa!

Tonight is my hall's annual formal dinner! It's Alice and Wonderland themed, and I'm going with the Queen of hearts in mind. And, to top it off, some of the others in the hall have been teaching us basic salsa steps and it is so much fun! We had a lesson a couple of days ago, and sadly there were no men as they were at football... but this morning there were equal numbers of male and female and it made it a lot more fun! We learned the basic forward and back and side to side steps, and a turn, and a crossoverthingy where you do a 180 degree turn. I had heaps of fun (as I keep saying) and it's really good for getting to know people you may not otherwise talk to unless you were in close proximity and trying to salsa. And although when thinking of salsa one pictures two sexy people get their jig on (see below), I can assure you that nothing of the sort will come to pass tonight. We're all 'grown-up' apparently but there will always be the awkward "ew guys" and "omg it's a girl I haven't seen one in years" feelings floating around!

 

Remember Bert the cadaver? Well on Tuesday in our anatomy lab we really got stuck into him. For the last 6 weeks before break we'd been focusing solely on the the forelimb... but this week we used scalpels and bone crushers (hehehe) to get through the rib cage and take a look at his lungs and heart. SO COOL. We removed each lung and looked at the different parts and compared left and right (cos they're different...) and marvelled at the fact that we were holding lungs. You don't get to do that very often! So that was very exciting. We also had two tests this week, which were not exciting, but as vet students we take them seriously or something like that...

 

 

Gotta love memes! Anywho, I've got an assignment to do and it involves drawing something that I don't really understand... so we'll see how that goes. I'll try and get lots of photos from the dinner tonight and just post them everywhere so you can see my attempt at dressing up! I'm so looking forward to salsa, and the dinner should be amazing too! Until next time :)
