But Zac, you failed to mention part II...after the sliced facial, we left on a 15 minute break. Moments later, Sarah flicked some "fatty fascia" into Sawyer's eye by accident (the only time Sawyer wasn't wearing the goggles!) After returning from a grueling 15 minute ping pong match in the lounge (I won), Sawyer was gone, and Sarah was speechless, and I was hysterical! I think I laughed more in anatomy lab than anywhere else...Too many funny jokes and good memories! I also thank our nameless cadaver (sometimes Charlie) a thousand times over :) I think at the end of four years, Sarah cutting Tom Sawyer’s facial artery will still be one of my top five memories at med school…

Well, cheers to not having to remember where the pudendal artery goes and remembering more about the people in our lives for a bit. There have never been more beautiful three weeks than the ones ahead of me. Oh yeah. Happy holidays and I will think of you when I am eating buonissimo Italian food (and watching oh-so-many Lost episodes)!
