Moving on, AH did a wondrous thing today and surprised even herself.... she took over the dissecting of a lab rat when her classmates suddenly turned squeamish on her!! she never thought she had it in her to do such a thing lol.
Maybe now she'll consider medicine.. the rat doc doesnt have too bad a ring to it hehehe ;p
