feelings are fleeting, it's easier if you don't care and i take thorough pleasure in the indulgence of the miswired circuitry that is my mind.

ohmygosh i love neuroscience and nothing i said should have made any sense.

time to shed the fat,
BYCYCLING!

i love my bicycle to bits and pieces! it takes me to places i've only dreamt of, it sends my hair whipping across my sun-dappled face and best of all it injects a rush of adrenaline into my speed-craving body. places that once took 20 minutes and AUD3.20 to reach now takes 6 minutes and a whole lot of pure beautiful fun. i'm addicted to my sleek black baby.

you who

i forgive fast.

i forget even faster.

tired

this bloody stream of assignments and exams have proven that i absolutely suck at pulling allnighters.


i have done... nothing.

starlight

It would be quite magical if we could take snapshots that are able to capture the atmosphere of the moment. I'm not talking about creating atmospheres like what those pseudo-retro vintage whatever effects attempt to do; I'm talking about capturing the literal atmosphere - the moisture of the cool autumn air against your skin, the whiff of perfume wafting through your senses, the tight emotions thickening the air etc - the countless collections of sensory input that converge in your mind to create the three-dimensional experience you walk in everyday.

I wanna go snap snap snap, and  have little bottles of atmospheres hung around my wrist. used once then destroyed.

the scent of ripe bananas! our olfactory bulb is closely associated with our hippocampus and amygdala, meaning we tightly relate smells with memories and emotions.

memories + emotions + imagination
who needs atmospheric cameras right :}

where the hell did my brain go

studying neuroscience isn't rocketscience

i have 5 hours to study. i spend 1 hour staring out of my window. it's dark outside and i see absolutely nothing, but i continue staring out anyway. i spend another hour nibbling on a variety of foodstuff, including and not limited to rice, weetbixes, hot chocolate powder, soy milk, soy sauce and crab sticks. oh the horror. the remaining 3 hours are evenly divided between studying, tinkering around with my adorable hello-kitty clad mobile phone and writing about how i'm not studying when i'm supposed to be. hmmm, i guess it's gonna be late night, again.

focus focus focus caryn! what you're studying right now will make the world a more peaceful place <:)

bruised

the best sit i got in ten hundred hours was on a black stool in my bathroom. i sat there brushing my teeth, not using my pre-frontal cortex at all and it was pure bliss.
