Today, I dissected a fetal pig and brought home the heart and kidney. The fetal pig had been professionally prepared by a lab that sold specimens for dissection and had some sort of solution keeping it fresh.

Im new to this but from what I've read on the internet, I need to confirm that the fetal pig was fixed with formalin and keep it in a 70% isopropyl solution in a glass airtight jar if so.

Right now, I'm just keeping the organs in the freezer. Is that okay?

I'm keeping the organs in the freezer right now. I ordered a solution of 37% formaldehyde with 15% methanol but it doesn't get here for a while. Is the freezer the best choice until then? Also, what concentration should I dilute the solution to?

I (20F) have been dating this girl (21F) for around 7 weeks. Let's call her Amelia. We were friends for around a year before we started dating.

9 weeks ago, Amelia admitted that she had liked me for months while we were friends. She would flirt with me a lot and I would reciprocate. That makes it sound like I'm leading her on but I really did like her, although it was more of a mild crush. I had never had a girlfriend before dating Amelia and I was too nervous to start dating. Honestly, Amelia made me feel a bit pressured.

Amelia made one comment in particular that made me feel pressured. While we were in a group hangout, she made a joke along the lines of "Wow it feels pretty terrible to like someone who still won't date you" while looking at me. Then she laughed and said she was joking but followed it up with a "not really". It was said in a lower voice but I was still able to hear it and so was the friend we were hanging out with.

I didn't know what to do so I just blurted out that I would tell her tomorrow. I did this thinking I would have the time to plan out what to say but Amelia seemed to take that as an immediate yes. I bought her flowers that night and asked her out the next day.

In the 7 weeks we've been dating, we've done a lot of the traditional couple stuff. I've gotten her flowers and baked cookies for her. We go on dates and have sleepovers. She's made me handwritten notes. We get each other gifts.

Everything I listed above was really fun. While our area is usually pretty tolerant of queer people, it's conservative enough that there aren't many people my age who are out. I've always wanted the dating experience but I didn't have the chance to get it until now.

I've really enjoyed dating Amelia. I love being able to tell people I have a girlfriend. I love sneaking around behind my parents' back (I'm not out to them yet). Amelia and I get along well. Our relationship should be fine.

This is going to make me sound like a horrible person but I don't think I like Amelia that much. I like kissing her but that's really because she's available. I'm honestly not attracted to her. In fact, I notice other girls a lot more.

If I had the chance to have the exact same dating experience but with someone I was attracted to, I would do it in a heartbeat. I think I should break up with Amelia. But we have so many of the same friends and I don't want to make them pick sides or make things awkward. Also, dating is a lot more fun than I realized. What do I do?
