The First Week Back

So I obviously am not the best person at keeping up these writing things... but since I have some time to procrastinate right now, it's perfect. I have technically been back in class since Monday, but I have not done an ounce of work for two very important reasons. 1) it's the first week back and 2) there has been massive amounts of football to be watched.

We got right into the whole class thing. The scariest thing being that Kandel, the Noble Prize winner and writer of THE book on neuroscience, is our teacher. A little imtimidating... I have a feeling I'll need to study a little more for that class then for, let's say, Epidemiology. The other cool thing is that we started dissecting the face and head. On Thursday, we actually took out the brain and could hold it in our hands. Luckily our brain was whole and completely intact, unlike some of the other groups. Let's just say that one of them looked like peanut butter and then another was missing half of it.

On another much sadder and depressing note, my fighting Irish were destroyed by OSU. We played like crap and I had some choice words to say at the TV throughout the game. Luckily no one was injured while watching with me. However, for the Texas game there was a much better outcome. I have a little pride for being a Texan and Vince Young is a god. No question. Sadly, the highlight for me might have been the 7 layer dip I made for the game. Mmmm I'll have to make it again soon...
