Yes, she’s doing her anatomy section right now.

It’s hard on her for three reasons:

1. It’s very technically challenging, and the names for most anatomical features are semi-arbitrary and disorganized. Lots of rote learning and tricky surgery.

2. Dealing with the fact that she’s dealing with a dead body.

3. Dealing with the attitudes of her classmates, many of whom she finds insufficientlycognizant of what a… privilege it is to be able to learn in this way.

They’re having a memorial for the people who gave their bodies, and her biggest worry is that her classmates are going to not treat the occasion with proper respect. The family of some of them will be there.
