From the hoover to the cadaver


Sandra had her orientation lecture/introduction/tour yesterday for Homeopathy. She discovered that in Anatomy she would be dissecting a human cadaver. Apparently they will be divided into groups of six for this purpose. Specifically in this year (the first year of study) they are going to dissect and study the torso. So today after I get home from work we have to go and buy lab coats and a dissection kit. I think its kind of macabre.

So today is her last day as a "house-wife". Last night she said she had enjoyed her year as a house-wife; and that now she was going to have re-organise her day-to-day life completely. Now she is a very full-time student from Monday. Today is her last day free of pressure of studies and exams in a very rigourous and demanding department.

.. It's in words that the magic is -- Abracadabra, Open Sesame, and the rest -- but the magic words in one story aren't magical in the next. The real magic is to understand which words work, and when, and for what; the trick is to learn the trick. ... And those words are made from the letters of our alphabet: a couple-dozen squiggles we can draw with the pen. This is the key! And the treasure, too, if we can only get our hands on it! It's as if - as if the key to the treasure is the treasure! ------- John Barth, Chimera
