What an autopsy is
History of autopsies
Autopsies today
How they benefit students
Why autopsies are important for students

My project has come to an abrupt halt. Apparently, I won't be allowed to view an autopsy because I'm not 18. Since I can't do any more with my project, Shtino offered me the opportunity to write a research paper on autopsies instead. That will count as my final grade for this class, and I won't have to present anything at the end of the year; I was getting really nervous about that anyway. The bad part is that this essay will determine whether or not I graduate. I'm really bummed that the autopsy trip didnt' work out, but at least with the essay I'll only have one thing to focus on that I have to get done.

All that I've been doing all day is singing showtunes. The musical is tonight! I'm so ridiculously excited. Unfortunately, I'll be spending all my time this weekend on the show. I'll try to send out my letters; I'm printing them now.

I haven't done anything over spring break for this project, but I did talk to my grandma a bit about autopsies. She used to be a nurse, and got to observe some autopsies back in the day. She didn't tell me a lot of things I didn't already know, just skimmed over the general process.
I'm trying to look up other medical examiner's offices in New Jersey, but every site I go to doesn't give an email address. Maybe I'll just have to print out my letter and send it to them the old-fashioned way, or call them. If all else fails, I'll ask Repasy to hook something up with a medical university, like her friend does with her anatomy classes.
