Lesson 20) Found The Liver- SHOTS!

I just counted up lessons and found that I am off by a lesson!
Due to my nasty flu-thing, I didn't even realized I skipped the 15th while sick. How terrible!
Luckily, life is always exciting here and there's a whole lot to learn.

I'm going to be upfront and obvious about this one: be ready for the unexpected.

I'm in a biology lab, and this morning we had to continue a dissection of a pig fetus. Not the most glorious thing to be doing at 8 in the morning, but if it helps me on my Entomology minor, whatever.
So, my partner and I were having a hard time finding a few pieces of the reproductive system. Our little pig had a whole lot of connective tissue and latex-filled-and-burst veins, making things extra difficult. We called over the TA who heads the class and asked for assistance after trying on our own for too long. He, with his brilliant PHD-track mind, sniffed and picked our probe out of my hand, ready to show us lesser-beings the mysteries of the world.

Yeah, he couldn't find any of the parts either. He began to explain that perhaps our pig had yet to go through those stages of development, and 'perhaps we should have recognized that before taking his time.'
That was until a deep voice spoke up: "May I look?"
It was the 'University-Studies'-major-backward-baseball-cap-half-hungover-frat-boy from the table behind us. He would clearly have been happier had this entire procedure been some sort of drinking game, but he explained that he had a hard time with his own pig as he gently asked for our pins and carefully showed us each little piece of our specimen and how each part was connected.

We were very appreciative and after thanking him while glaring at the TA, we went back to our assigned organ hunt without much thought. After class I realized how silly the situation had been. If I could have guessed who our unlikely hero would have been, I think I would have picked a nerdy Computer Science major or something. Of course it was the frat boy.

Be ready to be surprised, sometimes being wrong is worth the giggle.

Curl Girl, out!
