Bodies Revealed

Yesterday, a group of girls (their were five of us) decided to go on an adventure. We rode the bus into downtown Grand Rapids and went to the museum. We went to see the exhibit "Bodies Revealed." This is an exhibit that is traveling around the United States. They have preserved bodies and show different systems: bones, digestive, reproductive, circulatory, and the list goes on. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. I would highly recommend seeing the exhibit.

The bodies are preserved using polymer preservation. This is what the website says about the preservation:

The Polymer preservation process is a revolutionary technique in which human tissue is permanently preserved using liquid silicone rubber. This prevents the natural decay process, making specimens available for study for an indefinite time period. Polymer preservation provides a closer look at the skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, endocrine and circulatory systems by unveiling the mysteries of the human anatomy. The end product of the Polymer Preservation process is a dry, odorless specimen that resists decomposition thus allowing its user to create a unique collection of permanently preserved human specimen for public exhibition.

It took a friend and I two hours to look through the whole exhibit, and we looked at and read everything! We were even able to hold a stomach!!! Amazing!!!

After seeing the exhibit, we ate lunch at The Pita House and had delicious Greek food. Then, we went ice skating on an outdoor rink! It was a very interesting activity because the skates were very dull and the ice was not great, but we survived!

All in all, it was a very exciting and tiring day!

Well, here I am.

A new year, 2011

Last year, I didn't do so well at this blog thing. Hopefully this year I will be able to keep it up.

I arrived back in Grand Rapids on Sunday night, and the dorms were not open yet. So my friend and I stayed in a hotel. Monday, we hung out at the mall and then had a marathon of The Office. In fact, we watched so much of it that I started to dream about it!

Thankfully, I'm back in my dorm room right now. Attempting to clean my room, but i'm pulled away by the call of something more important....fb, email, and blogger.

This year is going to be full of excitement:

- I start my January interim on Multisensory worship
- I'm working through the book "Made to Crave" along with weekly video instruction. It talks about the need for craving after God and not other stuff such as food

Well, those are the two exciting things I can think of.

Now, I'm back to cleaning my room!!!
