Another day in the life of a medical school student, another ridiculously awesome dissection lab. Today we removed Blanche's heart, after Sherin tried and failed to perform open-chest CPR. We quickly realized that at some point, Blanche had undergone an aortic valve replacement, because she had a mechanical valve in place of where hers would have been. Matt suggested that we resell it, an idea that the rest of the group quickly scrapped. Although if the economy keeps getting worse, I might reconsider...
Just as we ripped (okay, carefully sliced) out Blanche's heart today, I felt my own heart being torn out of my pleural cavity when I heard that next Tuesday, Apple will be announcing its new MacBook. I hate to say it, but I'm a complete techno geek, and I hate not having the newest version of everything I own. Today my laptop is the coolest one in the library, but within a matter of weeks, I know that I will find myself looking across the room and setting my eyes upon one of the new MacBooks. I will inevitably be filled with amazement, followed by jealousy, followed by pure outrage. And trust me, you don't want to see me when I'm angry. HULK SMASH!
