Friday was another beautiful day. Although it was supposed to rain, the weather held out, and thank goodness it did. Why? Well, because today was SPRING FLING 2008!!! What? You don’t know what Spring Fling is? Actually, don’t worry. I didn’t either…. Let me explain.
My friend and I were studying at the library like we always do on Fridays before exams. I have so much fun studying with my friend. We come up with the craziest ways of remembering things or when we don’t understand what our Neuroscience professor is talking about (which inevitably occurs), we make up our own explanations .This is our favorite part of neuroscience: if we don’t understand something, we now realize that it’s perfectly okay to just make it up! As long as it’s sort of reasonable, you probably won’t be too far off on your hypothesis. Because, in truth, more is unknown than is actually known regarding the brain and the nervous system. Oh, how I love neuroscience (most of the time.)
So, like I was saying, we were studying in the library and were in major need of a coffee break. We walked out of the library onto the field in the middle of our school campus (it’s a really small campus) only to find that the field had been transformed into our very own Carnival! There were blow-up jumpy things. Sno-cones. Cotton Candy. Face-painting. And the best part? Everything was FREE. We were in our glories. This was SO much better than studying! Between the two of us, we consumed:
1 Funnel Cake
2 Boxes of Popcorn
2 Ice Cream Sandwiches
1 Cotton Candy
2 Tacos
1 Red Bull
½ cup of BAD coffee
Yes, these are the things that excite grad students. Free food. free food so we can justify study breaks. And coffee. lot's of coffee!! So, my advice to you: if you know any grad students (or college students), free food is the way to our hearts!!
Happy spring once again!

I LOVE funnel cake! Sounds like a great way to start the weekend. Miss you, friend.
i love studying with you too its the best, esp. neuro and making things up is so very fun and makes it way better! friday was super fun. I like reading your blog its fun and that one brought back happy memories, you definitely captured the strangeness of walking out into a big party w/out having any idea! I wish every friday study day was that good, we can work on that. OK well good job your blog is SWEET and i am going to read it more often and then i can leave you five hundred word comments for fun.
PEACE!
there is something so alluring about the scent of frying bread and the screams of people bouncing to their death in giant blow-up containers...lucky you(o:
