Back where I started



I watched a show on how the brain works and I wanted so badly to study the brain, so I'll likely use my new free time to study, i desire again to go back to school. It honestly fascinates me and captures my undivided attention, much like SCUBA and even Music has, I want to understand how electricity is used to generate morality, supposedly everything has building blocks or common denominators, I always seek them out and try to understand from that point. I want to be an expert in my field. I wrote many such letters to various colleges on various areas of study, but this is the only one that I constantly return to with as much intended vigor if not more than before. In a letter I wrote to the admissions office somewhere in Texas, I told the story of my friend, David, who once used electrical current to "super charge" his hand to see if he could break a test tube. Such things fascinate me, and my best friend now sent me another pertinent article on how the brain functions. And I love reading textx as much as fiction when it is about Neuroscience. Maybe that is what I am supposed to be working on. I do not want my time or skill to have been in vain. But, I turn to Enlish literature, Law, or Journalism, though I admit Anthropology and history fascinate me more as does linguistics or code breaking. I think that so far there is no Dark side to the study of the brain. I would like to understand fully each lobe and function, and I see no reason why I shouldn't. I wish I would have persued this years ago when I decided to!!!

Note to self: Please reread this and rejuvenate your desire to comprehend, because you can succeed. Even your "failures" lead you to this. You'll be back here again, if you don't do it right, Remember what Erickson taught? BINGO!

  1. For selfish reasons I want to know why I don't do things when clearly my muscles have the potential. And why hasn't my leg just athropied after so much neglect. i want to know why when told that I have all of the parts present to be the greatest at something, why I am not. I felt like part of that secret lied in a robot being "smarter" but not able to out achieve a human.
