How Time Flies

Sorry to be away so long. Between studying, work, and an occasional all-important day off, the calendar has whizzed past me! I'm sure it's that way with all of us, but I cannot help but believe that there is a conspiracy at work to keep entire weeks so full of activity that before you know it....it's next month.

I have done well so far this term. Got an "A" on my first examination, and have another test coming up in two days. We are studying this amazing system: the brain, spinal cord, cranial and peripheral nerves. Not just the physical bodies of each, but the amazing choreography that happens each time we have a thought, and transmit that thought to action - like typing this blog post. When you consider the minute biochemical processes that must take place in sequence, within milliseconds, it is truly a miracle that we "work." I may be the science experiment that charts whether these same biochemical processes work just as well (or as quickly) in a 50-something body as it does in one half the age.

I guess an "A" tells me that my synapses "synap" just fine......for now, at least.

Cheers!
