Don’t Be Afraid To Open Up

I don’t wish to frighten you or “eww” you out but I just found this anecdote in my life to be fairly unforgettable.
P.S.: This blog is not for the faint hearted.
Last week was sort of dissection week for me, a Biology major. I was so excited to be opening up frogs again because what I did back in second year high school was no fun at all. We were all in groups that I wasn’t even able to get some one-on-one with the frog. Thankfully, when I got into college, we work by pairs and thus, I get some quality time with my frog. Oh, I meant toad. I forgot to mention that everyone in Biology is using toads because of the reality that frogs are now endangered species. Well anyway, let me just say that toads weren’t the last dissection we’ll ever do. I heard we’ll do cats and sharks too. 
The first laboratory activity we did was to “skin” the frog because we were in the process of studying the musculatory system.
This is the before shot.
