baptism by dissection...

by now, with only one anatomy dissection left, everyone in my dissection group has had the same experience...

while working intently upon a particular area, I, and some of my colleagues, occasionally get in rather close... and sometimes the forceps or a clamp slips, and all of the sudden you feel the splatter of cool...

and then you turn to your partner and ask,

"um, do i have fat on my face?"

ugh, it's just gross...
