So I'm a "Heartless" bastard :P

Hmm here's the highlight of my week... it was a very bad forshadowing of the rest of the day too...

Anyways did my Zoo lab this past Fri, and it involved us dissecting a bug, to observe it's heart, crop, hindgut... Anyways what we had to do was cut the shell's edges, and then flipping/pulling off the now freed upper shell.. Anyways apperently thats where things started going wrong... When i finally managed to get the shell off i looked through the microscope... and gasp!!... my heart was gone... so somehow in the process of cutting the shell and removing the shell my heart was destoryed and lost, or something... Unless the it was one retarded bug... (BTW... it's very clear that i'll make a very lousy surgeon LOL... my hands were shaking so bad trying to clip off the shell... but man i loved that dissecting microscope that we were using)

So anyways what we had to do now was to count how many times the heart, crop, hundgut contracted under different chemical stimuls... simple enough... asides for the fact that i'm now "heartless" i was able to count the crop and hindgut. However half way through the experiment it was clear that my headless (oh yeah forgot to mention that we were suppose to behead our bugs after freezing them), and heartless bug was clearly dead... sigh.. the crop no longer contract and stopped responding to the stimulus placed on it.

So eh yeah simply my experiment ended pathetically early. then i went to go do my exam... ok at first but then it just gah turned bad LOL... and then nearly ran out of time.

Anyways here I am now... in the midst of continuing with my crappy bio paper, thats due this weds... and oo must remember to look at my Bot Lab for tomorrow (i really need to do better one those remaining quizzes).
