I’m Beautiful Like Me.

My university doesn’t offer a Forensic Science B.S. but I can tweak a Liberal Studies degree. I have done a LOT of research into this – prolly way more than I should have! – and I think it’s possible that I might actually have my future decided on. It’s terrifying! Especially since the real test is tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I dissect pig feet to extract bullets and evaluate the sequence of the wounds caused by the projectiles.

I’m oddly not disturbed by the prospect. In fact, at the beginning of the semester when the professor told us it would occur at some point, I was almost excited. I’ll admit that I’m a bit concerned about the smell. I’ve been more and more sensitive to smells since my last pregnancy. I am also nervous about what it’s like to handle soft tissue. I have managed really well with the bones in Human Osteology and Skeletal Forensics, but this will be my first time with soft tissue.

If things go well tomorrow, I’ll only have to decide between a focus in Chemistry and Biology (and of course, finish college). I meet with an advisor Thursday.
