Since the professor didn't seem to have heard her and because she didn't want to fall behind by comparison to her mates, Nadia watched how people were working and at last took iniciative to actually do the job.

First thing first, she walked forwards and fetched the needed things. On the way back, arms filled with things, she thought she was about to loose balance and to stop herself from a painful and messy fall, reached for the nearest object to stay even. That thing was the head of a dreamy-looking Selena. "Oh, sorry, didn't meant to," she said, looking though the things she was holding, when she finally realized and put the weight of her body in another surfice. "You OK? Sorry." She appologized again and moved all the way to her desk, since it was risky to stay in the middle of the classroom like that anyways, and placed all three jars on her desk. The newt jar was looking particularly... eurgh.

Second thing off, taking the pretty carcass out of the jar. Now where is where magic would have felt better. But, she hadn't exactly been given the thumbs up so... Carefully and trying not to gag, she put on one glove and with that hand pulled the newt from its tail. With a wooden table for suport, she layed the creature there and took the knife. And took a deep breath.

Because the tail thing seemed easier, she started with it instead of the eyes. The gloved hang pressing the body to the table and holding it steady, the other hand placed the edge of the knife the nearest to the start of the tail as possible and then... cut. She will never get used to these things really, she decided. She placed the newly cut tail on one of the empty jars, then closed it. Now, the next things was the eyes. She needed some time to ponder before actually starting this task, for she was sure she was going to mess up.
