One Week Down

So ends the first week of school... I'll say it went well, it really did. Classes are in full swing and the students have already had an "exam." On Thursday I gave a short "schpeal" about blood pressure, what it is, how the body regulates it, what affects it, etc... Friday I tested them on it. They each took turns taking a blood pressure on one another as I listened in with a double stethoscope. Apparently I make the students hypertensive! Their nervousness was never more obvious to me. In spite of this, they all did very well but I'm starting to wonder how things are going to be when we start breaking out the needles!
