amarie24So we’re doing the cardiovascular system in class last week and continuing on this week! On Thursday, we just got done with the heart chapter (I am so excited to gush about it to you guys, but first I gotta get ya’ll endocrine & blood!), and were reviewing in the beginning of class it before we went to blood vessels.
As part of our quick review, we went over in more detail on the force of the blood pumping through the heart and all throughout the arteries. So Mrs. A asked a question and it went like this:
Mrs. A: So what does it mean when one has high blood pressure? Hmm?
Me: -quietly- Uhhh…you have hypertension?
Mrs. A: -playfully glares down at me- I know that, Amarie. But what does it mean?!
Mrs. A, the whole class, & me: -bursts into laughter that lasts for a while-
Me, after a while: Oh, yeah! It means the heart is working too hard to pump blood and that can eventually cause wear and tear on the body.
Mrs. A: -gives me that Speshul Smile just for me- Correct, Amarie! Now…
Yeah, I just had to share that-I thought it was funny, teehee! And again, I am so very excited to finally be in the cardiovascular system right now! We started on blood vessels, which is a pretty long but easy chapter. Gah, it’s so terrible-I be so excited while I’m studying at home that I’m wasting time gushing to myself (and to Mommy when she’s awake) about this body system.
Did I ever tell ya’ll that my dream job is to be a cardio nurse? Yes, if I can get into this program and graduate from it, it is my deepest desire to be a cardio nurse for the cardiovascular system is my favorite system and fascinates me endlessly.
Amarie still dreams.
But the biggest thing, though? Ya’ll know that this coming Tuesday is February 14th, Valentine’s Day, yes? Well, Tuesday is when I have my Anatomy & Physiology II lab in the afternoon…
…And ya’ll, we are going to dissect a heart.
On Valentine’s Day.
I repeat: we are going to dissect a heart on Valentine’s Day.
Let it be known that in my 25th year of life, never before have I encountered such hilarious irony as now.
Oh my god, LOLOL!
Also, happy pre-Valentine’s Day to all my valentines out there! I love ya’ll and may you all be warm, safe, & happy this February! –blows a kiss to all of you- :D :D

Bonus points if said just before crying and storming out!
...
Or, you could be serious about your studies.
...
Maybe that second one is the best option.

So yeah, second option is best, but thank you oh-so very much for making me laugh! Teehee!!!

I'll see if I have time to make a post talking about the dissection later on this weekend, friend! :D
