rat brain surgery!

Today, i watched the brain surgery of a rat for the first time!

Today, at lab, I got to watch as the researcher implanted 2 wires into the rat's brain so that she could stimulate the specific structure without damaging or affecting any other neural areas. The whole process took only about 20 minutes. It was funny watching the groggy rats coming out of anesthesia. Their legs couldn't hold them up, so they looked like they were swimming around the bottom of their cages. Very cute ^. ^

Direct Patient Care + dead sea salt scrub!

Today, I tried 2 new things!!

I got to partake in direct patient care at the ER and I used a dead sea salt scrub BOTH for the first time!

First New Thing:

At work today, I got to hold the ultrasound probe and stabilize the needle while the resident drained a wound! It was so freaking exciting! I can't wait to get to med school!!!!


Second New Thing:


the one we used was not green, but it had similar consistency.
Today, my sister and I used a dead sea salt scrub! It felt sooo cleansing and soothing while using it and my skin feels super baby soft after. WOO! ^. ^

IHOP cheese scramble

Today, I had an IHOP cheese scramble for the first time!



It was HUGE. Just as I started eating, a really big guy walked by and wished me good luck finishing the meal. He said he just packed half of it to bring home. I barely ate 1/3 of it. It was super satisfying, especially after a night out, but it's sitting a bit heavy in my stomach ^. ^

Saturday, June 11: Romper!

Today, I wore a romper for the first time!

the one i wore is similar to the middle one...mayhaps a bit shorter ^. ^
I went out for a friend's bday and wore a romper! It was very cute and fun ^. ^

Friday, June 10: Yankees Stadium

Today, I went to watch the yankees live in yankee stadium for the first time!


shin-soo choo!


It started raining a bit through the game, which made it more fun. The rain looked like snow and super pretty, I think because of the lighting. I also saw Soo-shin Choo play! All in all, very fun and very awesome. (I think I like Yankees Stadium better than Fenway o.o)

Mouse Decapitation...

Today, I saw a mouse get decapitated in the name of science for the first time!

it really was just as cute :(


It was actually pretty sad to hear the mouse give its last squeak. But then later, I got to clean and refill the water/alcohol bottles for the mice downstairs.

(I didn't do anything new yesterday... GASP! terrible! xP)
