awww, thank you guys for the sweet words! much more to post here/respond to, but i'm in a bit of a panic about my quiz this weekend. the week got sucked away by lovely morning sickness so i'm trying to catch up in time.

but - the image of the anatomy mask made me laugh. THANK GOODNESS i don't have to wear one! michigan has some sort of cool system where they totally neutralize the formaldehyde, so the only thing that i wouldn't want to get on me is the biostat because of its phenol. so i just wear my scrubs and lab coat and double glove, and i'm all set! the smell, on the other hand, is intense. it didn't bother me before the sickness set in, and i'm not particularly squeamish normally, but good lord, it has not been fun.

to be continued...
