Tabula Rasa, Anyone?

Holy crap. Haha, i've been a college student for two weeks already! ang gara naman. haha xP

so. this week, a lot happened. there's the storm, and because of it, UST was turned into Atlantis overnight. Yesz.

Also, because of the storm, we lost internet connection for five days. it was funny; everything was working except for the landline. haha. xP

And also, because of the storm, a lot of people lost lives. let us pause for a moment, shall we?

So i got overkilled at psy102, neuroanatomy. we were given the task of memorizing the cranial nerves, and i swear, i managed to memorize them all, even if just barely.

but the funny thing with my professor(who's also the head of the psychology dept) is that he used the lottery method, but using an eraser as a medium. the eraser was passed around and whoever is the poor chap unlucky enough to be the last one holding the eraser gets picked for recitation.

so you can imagine, tensions were running high. a lot of people, out of excitement, threw the eraser at the next person, while others took their sweet time, preferring to trap the others rather than being the trapped one himself.

so it was in this manner that i got called upon to recite. swearing silently, i tried to walk with dignity. i couldn't do it well, so i pictured walking into an arena of lions as a hero. that helped.

last meeting, he mentioned the words parasympathetic nervous system. basically, it kicks in whenever you feel stress or if you need to respond to a certain stimuli. it appears in the form of sweat, clammy hands and faster heart rates. last meeting, he heavily hinted that we would experience that.

and that was what exactly happened. i got overkilled. it was worse than mental block. in ordinary mental block, you only forget the details. in my case, all of my senses shut down. the room's low temp didn't even bother me as much. what the hell.

good thing some people helped. thanks a million guys. you dudes rock. :D

i think i've said before that nothing ever prepares you for college. let me just reiterate.

Nothing prepares you for college.
