Wow, I guess I have been slacking on new posts. Well, with the amount of Anatomy that I have been studying, it is quite hard to post every single day (plus, what is there to write about every day other than the fact that I am studying Anatomy?). The weekend has approached and I am very thankful for that. Gives me time to study up what we have discussed over the past week in lecture. We finished the forelimb and hindlimb lectures and have moved on to the axial skeleton. The head has got to be one of the most difficult areas to study because of all the facial nerves, etc. Needless to say, I will be studying that the most this weekend.
I finally purchased a Macbook Pro and an iPhone (best purchase I have ever made!), oh, and also a wireless printer. I also purchased my dissection kit and a few Anatomy/Physiology books. Also, currently living in a box on top of my TV is my new dog. I rented a box of canine bones for 20 pounds. So, I am not sure how many of you know, but there is an event going on right now called The Edinburgh Military Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle. Basically, Edinburgh invites certain countries every year to participate in this event. So Ashley (girl from class) had two free tickets that she acquired when she was back in Pennsylvania from this guy who goes to the event every year. Unfortunately for him (fortunately for us) he was unable to go this year and he gave the two tickets to Ashley. So Ashley and I went to the 10:30pm Tattoo last night and it was absolutely amazing. For every new group that came out, there was a new theme projected onto the main castle. So for the Samoans, the castle turned into a jungle and for the RAF, the castle turned into a sky with fighter jets in the foreground. There were these drummers called "Top Secret Drummers" that were from Switzerland. These guys that were playing were absolutely phenomenal! I also felt like I was in China, there was a group from China that performed some type of festival that they do in China every year to stimulate a good harvest year. Check the videos below. Well, I need to study straight away. I hope everyone is doing well!

I think Americans in general are lacking rituals, celebrations, shows like what you saw...except for sports related ones. I think that is why I love New Orleans so much and going to pow wows...traditions rock!!!! hope you are makins some of your own...
I wonder if they have more stuff like that back east? That whole area (the east) seems more like Europe...not that it is like it, just more like it than out here.
Those drummers with the fiery drumsticks are pretty stinking cool! :)
