i seem to enjoy posting on sundays..

yesterday was so much fun! i am a member of the Buckeye Scholars club on campus. i think i may have already explained this somewhere else in my blog..but nevertheless, as a group, we were supposed to be going to Chicago. our plans faltered, and instead, we took a trip to Cincinnati to see the Bodies Exhibit and to also go to Kings Island. i must say it was an amazing day! the Bodies Exhibit consisted of 16 donated cadavers, displayed in different ways to examine the human body. the exhibit took spectators on a journey through the systems of the body (respiratory, circulatory, nerve, etc.) in a very tasteful way. i was a little skeptical when i first heard about the exhibit, but after going, i see that it was actually a neat opportunity. i'm curious about the techniques they used to do some of the stuff, such as separate the blood vessels from the heart in all their entirity. they were also able to remove the entire nervous system from the body..very interesting stuff.
here's a little random tidbit i remember..the human heart begins beating at 5 weeks of life...in a human the size of a pea! amazing!

after the exhibit, we went to Kings Island and rode a total of 4 rides! yay..lol it was worth it though! the 4 included The Beast..a very awesome wooden rollercoaster. going to Kings Island makes me want to go to Cedar Point!

i am so very tired today..but i mustn't let that jeopardize my homework routine. i have an English worksheet due on tuesday, as well as Spanish homework due tomorrow afternoon. reading for sociology wouldn't be a bad idea either...
right now, i'm participating in some overdue spring cleaning in my room..it's slightly overwhelming! heh

the weather is beautiful!

later on :)

ps: i am the recipient of a $1000 scholarship awarded by the Honors Program on campus! i am SOOOO excited! it's going to make next year's expenses a lot easier!! :)

Hi Meg! I'm an older lady, though I sure don't feel like it! I happened on your blog when I googled "OSU Cadavers" ! I'm at the age now, single, no children, where I need Life Insurance!! I had to go on Social Security Disability at a young age (for me!), which was 51! I felt as though my life hadn't even begun yet! So, I am, in a way, relating to you, exactly! The difference is that I don't have the entire world ahead of me with lots and lots of time to choose what I'd like to do with my life! I would much rather watch you grow! I thought I might, perhaps, donate my body to OSU for scientific studies. That's how I landed here!! Since this is your blog, perhaps you can give me some insight into how one might do such a thing after their demise?? I'm sorry if this sounds so grim...I'm just needing some direction from someone smart!!!! Thank you for any help you can give me. c-anncowen@att.net
