So school’s been okay I guess. I had a test already and probably did bad. In my defense, my teacher doesn’t know how to explain what to actually study. He says one thing, but it’s the complete opposite on paper. I guess that’s what happens when the program is desperate and needs a teacher. I mean with people leaving the field as quick as they enter, it’s easy to see why it’d be hard to find someone qualified to teach this specific class. He’s technically able to teach in our program, but for business management and things like that. Instead they have him teaching embalming and restorative art. Which he’s only been doing a few years, but I digress.
On a different topic, and maybe slightly disgusting one for certain people, brains feel a bit like silly putty. At least the one I felt at a lab did. I can’t and won’t go into detail, but yeah. During one of my embalming labs last year, the embalmer I was working with let everyone touch a slice of brain. It was interesting and every time I go into the lab, it’s kind of surreal. People tell me you have to treat the deceased with respect but you also kind of have to be indifferent to the death? Like you can’t be weak about it. I don’t see how feeling sympathy for the deceased is weak or anything, but apparently to some it is. I don’t know. Maybe because I’m not actually working in the field yet, I can’t understand. Anyway, I’m off for tonight.
