I really did enjoy the lesson today. I enjoyed it because I learned a whole lot. I also enjoyed it because it was a different lesson than we have had the rest of the week. It was cool to actually have a professional come talk to us.

Yes, I did. There were a quite a few things I learned and I realized I knew stuff I didn't know I knew. I'm not like my sister, and want to be a doctor, but I think it is really interesting to know about the body and how it works and to know things that can go wrong in our bodies, and to be aware of it. I've never really thought of things like this before, and it's kind of cool to see how this stuff can work.
