Me: 

15.10.2017 .. cycled back from church this morning and made a pot of coffee in preparation for writing my first assignment of the term on student’s experiences of religious education. outside there’s no doubt that the trees in college have taken on their autumn colours, it may still be warm enough to have all my windows open but autumn’s there in the air.

Stylised drawings of anatomy with a thousand latin names to learn

Old and strange cases of people coming in with outlandish symptoms and stories

Learning about all the intricate ways the system of your body ties together

Late nights studying all the ways that system can break down

All your writer friends asking you whether it is possible for the human body to break down a certain way

Knowing the answer

Being more intimately familiar with death than outsiders wil ever understand

Being taught how to be gentle with secrets

Having a deep love for music - Apollo, after all, was god of both music and healing

Knowing you will once make decisions about life and death on a daily basis

So much tea

The scent of formaldehyde lingering in your hair and thanking the people that gave their bodies to science, and the stories they left behind

Handwriting becoming slowly more illegible as you try to copy down more details. This might save a life one day

I asked my lawyer if I could make that joke and he said, “let me call another lawyer”, and that lawyer said yes.
