~A girl? I did not say anything about HIM being a girl! I'll just be civil to him. He is a total nutcase of some sort that I don't want to get involved with.~ she thought to herself.<br/><br/>"I did not say that you are a girl. If you haven't noticed yet, most of the students here are girls with an exception of a few gays. Just forget the small talk. I'm sorry that I elaborated so much.<br/>The next thing to do is to write in the lab book about our findings and clean up. There is also a suggested reading assignment in an optional book listed at the beginning of the first chapter. I suggest that you get your own books for all of your classes soon, Dustin." Mariah spoke softly but yet extremely perturbed. She began to make notes in a blank notebook which she had labeled in black permanent marker "Anatomy of a piglet". She even did neatly detailed drawings of what she saw.<br/><br/>"Dissecting the piglet comes next but it will be another day. We have lab daily. So tomorrow you will need a dissecting kit of some sort that is similar to mine." Mariah spoke quietly as she looked into the microscope to look at the slide.<br/><br/>~At least it was well prepared and I can see the cells perfectly. Now to draw several of them.........~  she thought to herself as she took her pencil up and began to draw what she saw without looking at the paper as she viewed the slide under the microscope. Once she drew several cells, she stepped to the opposite side of Dustin and set up her book so that he could see it if he wanted to do so but she was not going to tell or show him anything at all. He could do his own interpretation of the lab.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/TheCreator7/00-1%20Library/Real%20Life%20Classes/Skin%20clls/Layersofskincellsdiagram.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/TheCreator7/00-1%20Library/Real%20Life%20Classes/Skin%20clls/HistologyofnormalskinHighpowerhistologyviewofepidermis-1.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/TheCreator7/00-1%20Library/Real%20Life%20Classes/Skin%20clls/connectivetissuecalledscartissuejpg.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/TheCreator7/00-1%20Library/Real%20Life%20Classes/Skin%20clls/normalskintoAbby.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/TheCreator7/00-1%20Library/Real%20Life%20Classes/Skin%20clls/squamous_cell_carcinoma_skin.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/>She looked at the pictures in her book, of which she had seen quite a few times before since she had done a lot of studying before class. Once HE was done she would begin to clean up. She would do the lab report when she was alone and more able to think without His presence. Next she had English and they would have to read out loud from some book that they did not yet know. Perhaps it would be Shakespeare! One of her favorite authors. But not hopefully that morbid Poe guy.........
