Thanksgiving in St. Kitts

Thursday...Thanksgiving at Ross University. The rain has begun...it looks like we are in for quite a storm. I was walking down from the cafeteria, after my morning coffee, and noticed a large storm about a mile out to sea. An ominous sign, as today is the day of judgment. At 1pm we have our 2nd anatomy exam...that on the heals of two other exams this week. The stories from upper classmen describing this event are filled with horror. Hopefully when I walk out of the exam, the parasympathetic fibers of my facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), coursing through the stylomastoid foramen of my skull, will not send any signals to innervate the lacrimal apparatus, housed in the rostrally directed lacrimal bone.

I thought you were studying animal anatomy not human.

Hope you had a splendid, albeit studious, Thanksgiving.

Funny thing is I kind of know what you are talking about there Jonner. PNS, Cranial nerves, Ganglia, more on an intermediate level of course. Hope everything is going well on the island. Sounds like your thanksgiving was about as uneventful as mine, I played xbox all day.

Crazy the memorization of all the pasky little parts and pieces. I think we need to start with the basics though, big picture - heals ??
Achilles had two heels. Likely just an errant wandering of a stray finger as you type away the wee hours of AM.
Another Raddi fiesta post this completed examination ?? Time for some more pictures !
