Physiology is fun!

...no really. I had one of the best labs of my life today and the subject matter was mind numbingly boring. We analyzed past data on the effect of salt water on urination (so in general just good for some giggles until everyone comes to terms with their twelve year-old selves) for a group lab write-up (yes, the dread group project). But for the first time in my life there was both proper explication and proper free-reign.

Seriously, it was amazing. I know that doesn't sound like much but usually the lab TA (also the doctor heading up the module taught it... no crappy grad student TA's here) spend an hour or so wasting  you time reading the instruction page that they have just handed out aloud and it is so mind-numbingly dull that you surmise that there must not be 8anything * difficult about this lab. Then as soon as they are gone you run into some seemingly insurmountable issue that they never saw fit to mention. All in all even simple labs are usually very stressful. This one was well explained both in the practical "this is what you need to do to get the grade" sense and the scientific "this is where the knowledge you should take away is" sense... and then most astoundingly we were left to actually *do* it. No TA's hovering uselessly or inexplicably absent depending on the opposite of your needs.

I don't think I'll be able to go back to the other way.
