Vet Med Lecture Hall,
After Hours

I joined a few of the girls for a Histology study session Monday night (we had the exam Thursday) and on my way in I saw Jason, one of my lab parters, on his way out. I was running late, so I asked him if he saw anyone studying in the Histology Lab (which is really just a large lecture hall with lotsa microscopes). He said "Yes--but you're not missing anything. They're all giggling and rolling each other down the thing."

Rolling each other down the thing?

As in most lecture halls, there is a consistent incline from the front of the room to the back. Well, the video microscopes used for group study are at the back of the lecture hall, which also happens to be the highest point in the room. And there also happens to be many comfy office chairs with wheels in this part of the room.

In this rear area of the room around the video scopes, the floor is flat for several feet. The girls discovered that if they roll their office chairs a bit too close to the inclined portion of the floor, they are taken on a fast ride downhill, toward the front.





Wheeeeee! No hands!





Kara found out that there is no way to steer these chairs



The huge rebel and risk taker that I try to be, I thought I'd try. . .



"Oh crap, I can't stop!"



I'm so glad my education is paying off.
