The Prof was Correct Again!

My last entry to the blog was a lamenting of the capacity of the resident of my cranium. Since then I have found that it is not a container that can only filled a certain amount, but that Mr. Brain is more like a muscle, even though it’s an old muscle, that will grow or be conditioned to handle the task it was given. Those of you who have been following this blog know my constant battle with the Spanish language. So two midterms, on the same day, combined with my Spanish nemesis, has left this newly found muscle a little fatigued, but not broken. Our Prof told us in our last class that he had to hold his foot over a bucket of water so if he were to fall asleep, while studying, it would fall into the cold water! Here he was conditioning his mind for stamina instead of horsepower. Thank God he made the brain such a versatile tool!

  1. Well when you read some of these books it does put you to sleep. So maybe I will try the bucket thing and see if I can read the book and not sleep.
