Out of the Darkness

Life and school continue to amaze me. Last week I was required to memorize and then recall to memory during an exam, 100+ bones in the human skeleton in just 24 short hours where I spend a 16 hour portion of those 24 in an unconscious sleep state. The older brain can only take just so much jiggling around I have found and after about four hours of beating it to death with new knowledge there is usually a strong revolt that follows.

I am right proud and amazed that I was able to pull off a score of 90/95 on the test and I only missed the identity of one small bone. If the professor had not thrown in the integumentary system I would not have missed the other 4 questions. I just hope that the muscle identification which is tomorrow will be as easily stored in this old brain.

Today there is a class field-trip planned, which makes me feel like I am in elementary school going to the zoo on the buses, being required to hold your partner’s hand and finish all the sack lunch that consists of one peanut butter sandwich, carrot sticks and cookies.

Today I get to experience Dialog in the Dark. It is all about senses or the lack thereof. I have no clue as to what to expect yet I do feel that I will come away with new information. Perhaps it will give me an appreciation of being able to experience the words flow from my brain down to my fingers, back on the screen where my eyes glide softly over the soft glow of black words that appear as if by magic before me. I have just always taken things for granted.
