This block has been surreal, primarily because I am exhausted about 75% of the time. I have bronchitis; granted, it's better than it was, but I'm still coughing a lot at night, even with cough syrup, and my chest is still tight and icky. Today in particular was weird, though.
1. We found a Netter with a Hanson sticker on it in the anatomy lab. Our class has a few older students in it, students who were not in middle school when Hanson was popular. For those of us who were familiar with them, though, it was pretty strange. One of the omm/anatomy fellows started singing one of the songs. We threatened to throw a brain at her (yes, we have them.) and she stopped.
2. There's a portion of tissue on the back of the pharynx called the pharyngeal raphe. A large part of lab was spent trying to figure out how to say it. Do you say "wraith," or "rape" or "raffi," or what? No one seemed to know, but when someone said "raffi," one of the fellows and I immediately thought of Raffi the singer, who children love and adults hate. He sang a song called "Baby Beluga" that most parents heard and then despised. Well, the fellow and I started to sing it, thus incurring the wrath of our peers.
