Too much information / the feeling of logic.

[scribal_goddess]

I posted last summer about popcorn thoughts, which allow a lot of things to be going on at the same time, and I have to say that they're a fairly normal state for me in a class. But today I got a logic headache, from information-related brainfreeze

Group work is still the bane of my existence. I mean, it's fine if the whole group has clearly defined things to do, I get through it, but I forever find myself waiting for people and most of the time I just give up, do it on my own, and then coach them. Then there's the ever-present pitfall of working with friends: somebody always relies on somebody else to carry them through the project.

Anatomy was a course where I said, "well, I should take it now, because if I can handle a fresh smelly dead pig then I can probably handle dried up mummies." And then I learned all the bones and all the muscles and hey, people come to me all the time for medical advice. Guess being morbid is useful when people come wandering into my room going "do you think my wrist is swelling?" or "I think I pinched a nerve, do you know how to tell...?"

I've never been quiet, but I get on in classes. Of course, I run a club too, so, you know, people better get used to me taking things over. I do that a bit because everyone else sits there twiddling their thumbs. :/ Yeah, fortunately, most of my classes are science-based, so girls don't find smart girls to be an oddity - you'd better hope you don't have a ditz for a flame lab partner, for example.

Well, there may be a reason that I was gifted with a large compilation of Sherlock Holmes stories for christmas by my friends...

My brother got the music and math genes (supposedly they're the same gene?) - he's further left brained - I got to be middle brained. I suppose my mom is fairly middle brained or right to middle, she majored in art and biology. (She wanted to illustrate feild guides for botany and birdwatching and the like... which is why I now know every wildflower in my state and all the native trees.)

Yeah, we got to the math part today in class. It was kind of one of those things that I can accept but can't actually work with.
