How I spend today...
I woke up at a pretty decent hour today, well theoretically of course.At about 1030, I opened my eyes and realised that it was another day.
But somehow, my limbs won't move. Intuitively, i know that getting out of bed is going to require much more effort, thus tiring me out, and therefore, I should just remain in bed.
Its not my fault really. Blame it on those pink tablets i took before bedtime last night. Its the kind of medicine that cures your flu but leaves you totally helpless the next morning.
It took a lot of will power to finally roll out of bed much later. I won't say how late.
Had my breakfast -- Ritz Apple strudel with earl grey. About the strudel. I use to tell WS that I would, if i could, finish the entire full size log of strudel myself. So yesterday, unbeknownst to me, he bought just that! I mean, if I was 5 years younger, I guess i could. But now, with age my appetite has somehow gone down, and i could only eat half of it (which is still quite a lot.. about 3 slices) The the remainder was for today's breakfast.
Gone were the days when I could go on eating without a break. There were those Saturdays, after Judo training, where we will head off to some place for food. That would be around 4pm. We usually eat till about 6pm, amidst conversation and laughter... then i will head home, shower and have dinner at around 7pm. I will even finish up ALL the leftovers! My granny simply piles them up in my plate. With all that food intake, i was still a petit, underweight girl! No kidding.
Geez.. I wanted to talk about how i've been spending my afternoon...
OK back to that, I was searching on Google for neuroscience and LTP and I trust me, usually when u are looking for something, you end up finding other useful things instead of that something.
I found this which was like some online groups thing especially for people who reads papers. You could bookmark the stuff u read, it will wind up in your library, you could create groups and share articles you've read... labs could use it, course group too... and you could search for articles/tags put up by others.
Then I found a blog by Ryohei.. entitled neuroscience notes.. haha.. that was in a way interesting. I mean why blog stuff like that? But on retrospect, it does help lay out thuoghts you have, things you could have been musing about. That would have helped me digest stuff i learned too. Then again, where would I find the time for that during my 4th year?
My mum just gave me something called "Cookies & M&Ms" bar yesterday. Its a "Crunchy cookie bar with M&Ms Chocolate Candies topping". Looks abit that those bars I saw on The Apprentice, the episode when Ivana took off her skirt except that this is a cookie bar embedded with M&Ms. Its overwhelmingly sweet, not something I can eat a lot of although I am sure kids will love it.
About graduate programme.. there are so many freaking universities in the world. I am sure I can get into at least one.
