Thanks Mac Daddy for the warning!

Haha Wow! I was nervously laughing in anticipation that I may have lost everything on my apple laptop. I know, I know, back everything up. I hadn't. I was concerned about losing all my pictures and the paper I'm almost finished. Yikes! I turned the music up on my radio to dance (I go a little crazy when anxious), while waiting for my friend to return home. After 2 hours of hoping everything was ok with my computer. My friend discovered my computer just had a loose chip. Well, I was going to do work tonight, but no longer. It's time to back this thing up! haha For all those reading this let this be a reminder! I was dreading the all nighters I would have had to done to make up for what I would have lost. Sigh. Thank goodness I have hockey tonight! I need to get rid of this anxious energy =)

Ok I know this sounds a little boring, but it's exciting! You'll be able to see what is wrong with my brain! hahah I mean. Never mind...
The cortex is roughly symmetrical between left and right sections called hemispheres (half circles) because of their shape. The left hemisphere is associated with the right side of the body and vice versa. Usually the left hemisphere dominates as it contains the centres for language and reasoning.

Pinky and the Brain: An Ode to Neuroscience.

Because I am a graduate student in neuroscience I appreciate some geeky jokes and cartoons. Here is a great song that I saw in a neuroanatomy lecture. Enjoy:

First Entry in My New Blog

Well, I guess the blog programme has changed, hence I am using this new address. I hope to create entries more often than this past year. I think this is a great idea for everyone to know what my life is like and what I'm all about. =) Please feel free to leave comments, jokes...
