LTP

12 hours to The paper. The one about brains. One thing I've concluded, is that I lack much of the needed Long Term Potentiation. Ain't got no long term memory workin' here. It's got to be 'explicit' and 'semantic'. 'Episodic' could work too, but hardly. Lectures and tutorials aren't too favourable for remembering the experiences.

And even so. Even after 14.5 hours from now. Even after completing 6 exam papers. ..I have one more. Seriously, there've been a million exams this time. They keep coming. But soon. Soon. I have one consolation, despite the short time left to finish memorising stuff, that by Friday, I'll have no more exam papers to go through. Er, I'll still need to complete a full lab report by Monday, and also to decide which modules to register by Monday; but anyhow, Friday's good.


And not forgetting. Something happened. Something big. Something tragic. It's not too close to home and heart, but close enough. It was just there, just barely touching the edge of being in the whole network of relationships. But that's why it's been a strange grief. Too strange, I can't figure out exactly why. But it was painful, that's for sure. Perhaps, it was the sudden-ness, and the portrayal of life's fragility. Or having put oneself into another person's shoes. Or having too good an imagination. Or something. I guess, if I have to, I'd say then, that that fragility makes God's love even more real than ever. Still, I pray for much peace and comfort.
