Three weeks and the pink poui blossoms

SEA is three weeks away. And so are my midterms.

Academic life suits me at this point in my life.

I am enjoying ... time.

Article to be reviewed for Mondays tutorial

Can the Brain be trained? COmparing the literature on the use of EEG Biofeedback/ Neurofeedback as an alternative or complementary therapy for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD.

Time to get down to it.

Forget it

I suppose, as much as I would like to reconcile with my sister.

As much as I understand, how hard it must have been for her as a medical professional,

to stand back,

to not DO anything, in the treatment of my mother.

Words ...

Why am I doing this ?

Because, we are all human.

And when I watch this...

I don't care what SKIN

they had.

It was the beauty of the solution.

A lasting retort to Racial Prejudice in this country.

Kiss my ass, SOBs.

Manic

So my sister thinks I am manic.

I am sleeping and I'm OK.

Watching house and will do the reading for the cognitive psychology lecture on Thursday.

I will also do the tutorial prep.

Was I manic this time last year ? YES, most definitely YES.

Will I eventually, wind back down to 'normal' parameter operations.

YES.

It takes time. I've been here before. Third time in my life.

Take a time out.

True mania is no sleep.

True mania is bad.

Obsession.

I'm coping.

One day at a time.

Tired

Why am I doing this ?

Because, because I'm tired.

For many years, I was one of the jet set.

And I still lime with members of the jet set.

The next trip.

Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Machu Pichu.

Spending $3000 on a long weekend holiday.

But if the price of us, living the 'first world' lifestyle.

Is the person behind you, being unable to fix the roof of their house.

Or having enough time to take care of their kids.

It just makes you stop, dead in your tracks.

Because....

Because..

The philippines .. will not be enriched by a six week holiday maker.

One more tourist.

But, ...

Hopefully once all the human anatomy, physiology, psychology and sociology

get put together.

Just the way, a few people out there have learnt 'i' is always capital "I"

Because I spent the time, that wasn't given before.

Holidays, whilst important.

The work will take less toll on my soul, long term.

Why is lymphoderma caused by arthritis anyway ?

Time to beat the books.

Pain

Nociceptors.

You would think this is important for clinical practice.

Hence included in the Sensation, Perception, Attention

parts of the Cognitive Psychology course.

Of course not.

Lecturer never worked in a clinic.

Clinical practicioner goes like .... most people who come to me... are like ill.

Pain .... is an important topic to cover.

This why... sometimes you do wonder... why do we go to university.

Just as well, I am designing my own programme, with two teachers.

Academic and Clinical Practioner.

Steups.

People will always dissappoint you

Rely on no one and trust no one.

And certainly don't expect gratitude.

Lets face it, caring isn't worth it.

Just do whatever you feel and who gives a shit about anyone else.

Suicide, is a definite option.

The first person to jump off the fly over.

Welcome to the european model of development.

60 years behind

That's what an american professor said today.

Seems like I wasn't imagining living in 1955 last year.
