Brain in Skull: Sure...

Lately, I had been running around on my own while my brain remains snugly secured in my bed. That was mostly due to a cold that was trying to take over my body. To counteract that nasty little bug, I was hopped up on varying cold medicines most of the time; namely NyQuil and Day Relief PE Liquid Gels. Yeeha. That made going to classes and fulfilling my calling an interesting experience. I frequently caught myself starting to lose focus and try to remain vigilant only to lose a few minutes and hope that nothing important was said in that time. Upside to that: that cold didn't get the best of me. Boo-ya.
This next bit of information is brought to you by Anatomy and Physiology II on the cardiovascular system. So as a fetus, your heart starts out as simply two pumping veins that are bigger than you and are superior to(above) your head. You grow faster than your heart, so as you develop, you pass the heart in size and get to a point where the heart is chin level. Meanwhile, the heart is folding in on itself and developing into the four-chambered beauty we know and love. As you continue to grow, you start bending in on yourself and as you do that, your chin pushes your heart into your chest, where it remains for the rest of your life. Is that nuts or what? I love this class.
Anyway, Yellowstone was markedly colder than last time, but still a blast. This time we ventured south to visit Old Faithful and the other geysers. Pictures from our latest adventure are found on Facebook. This time, we drove through a herd of bison. We remained on the road and didn't hit any of them, but they were all around and within arms reach at points-it was a treat!
I am in the midst of homework such as reading reading reading, an analysis paper, and studying for tests; so nothing is really new there. The preparation for the Idaho Falls Christmas Brass Extravaganza of Awesomeness (named it that just now) is going well, though haltingly at the moment. There's not enough time in the day to do everything I want to do, but "c'est la vie," right? Right. That's why it's important to seize each moment you can to have fun, which is where I'm off to right now! Mmm...lunch...
