Congratulations Human Biology lab-you have successfully convinced me that science is not the route I'm supposed to take in life. Good thing I'm an English major.
So I just got out of my human biology lab. Two hours of scribbling down numbers, measuring blood pressure, vital capacities, calculating standard errors, etc. All in all, it is everything I have tried to stay away from in my college career and have foolishly avoided it and now towards the end of my college adventure, I'm paying the toll.
It was during this painful lab (which not one single person in the class finished) that I came to a realization- I was perfectly content learning all the scientific facts and mechanics of life that we need to know from the Magic School Bus. Remember it? That show with a bus that spurted wings from its sides and rocket thruster things from its rear and could shrink, time travel, and journey to all the planets in the solar system in a matter of 25 minutes. Yep, sounds like my kinda ride. It sure beats my 21-speed mountain bike.

Lets be real, I would much rather be taking that class rather than human biology in college. Plus, their labs are much more...."hands on". Except maybe I wouldn't want to go on the trip to visit the dinosaurs-lizards bigger than myself scare me. Who knew children could retain so much knowledge from a red-headed eccentric teacher and a foot-tall lizard that has horns and could drive a bus? I wouldn't mind having them as teachers.
Ok...scratch that. This lizard scares me to.
