oh, I remembered!

I wanted to talk about what I learned today.



Wait... I forgot. Better list them...



1. muscle contraction thingy

2. asl - just the important signs lol

1. So in anatomy lab today I was the de facto volunteer for our "experiment" because I was weaing short sleeves. So my prof hooked me up to some electrodes and voila! - a realtime recording of the electrical impulses created by my arm muscles was on the screen! It was soooo sweet. Except that I am very weak lol. So I proceeded to flex and extend my arm and hold up 3 textbooks (3! that's a lot of weight for my flimsy weak arms!) while sweet spiky lines like an ecg showed up on the screen. (I do know how all of this works, but I'm too lazy to explain, so "voila" and "sweet spiky lines" are gonna have to suffice.)

2. I now officially know the signs for:
-cat
-favorite
-hamburger
-jello
-turtle
-sleepy, bed, and sleep
- toilet
-sunday
-poop
-please
-thank you

You know, all the important ones lol
