Break!

Ahh, the wonderfulness of knowing there is only one more day of class left before break, and that all the work for that day is complete. I have an eight and a little bit page formal Chem lab sitting on my bed, a three page results section for bio, and a chem prelab. Yes, all that for one day. But, there is only one day left, and then I have four wonderful days of freedom! And some work, but freedom! To do whatever I feel like! It's so incredibly exciting! Yay for being able to sleep! And bothering people who shouldn't work on their theses all weekend. ;)

So, I heard some interesting things about sleep dep this morning. Made more interesting by the fact that I'm pretty sure I've been living with sleep dep for the last oh, six years at least. Anyway, apparently, if you get enough deprivation, your body will enter REM sleep directly, at a random time, like during class. So apparently, when people have their eyes closed, but they're still sitting upright, and their eyes are moving, they're in REM. Which is really cool! Except bad for the person who it's happening to.

Oh, we had a brain striptease the other morning! It was amusing, Prof. Chase was using the brain model to show us anatomy things, and he was talking about peeling off layers, and then suddenly said: "It's like brain striptease! You never knew neuroscience could be sexy did you?" It was sooo funny! He's great. We got to dissect sheep brains again today. Which was fun, but we didn't have a very good one. It was sad. But, oh well, we had fun anyway.

Anyway, must to bed, since I still have classes tomorrow. But yay for break! Just had to share the joy!!
