Just have faith; A review on Einstein

I'm still having a love-hate relationship with statistics! At least I'm a pro at standard deviation now. I would have been proud of myself if that took place during my first tutorial. So yes, I am practically ashamed because its the 4th tutorial tomorrow! I have been procrastinating at this module and giving more attention to my health literature review and brain & behaviour. I'm slow when it comes to maths and stats?.. *shrugs* Ah well, practice makes perfect! Its not as bad as I make it sound; I'll progress at my own pace honey!

I conclude brain & behaviour to be my favourite for the semester; which is basically biological psychology. This is probably one of the closest modules to Medicine - Gory & detailed!

I have always been intrigued by Albert Einstein! My aunt came across this article in the papers in 2001 & knew it was a keeper. I probably got the habit of cutting out interesting news paper articles from my aunt; who always saves mind blowing ones for me every time we meet - it was something I grew to appreciate. Its probably more convenient now; given the fact that she has moved in with me :) I like the way perspectives on something identical changes over time - the way we mature and we see that same thing; differently.

Einstein passed away from an abdominal aortic aneurysm in 1955. The pathologist that performed the autopsy on Einstein also ended up stealing the world's smartest brain! I wonder if he ended up injecting Einstein's brain cells into himself. I remember how Dr Foo talked about how extracting brain cells from someone intelligent & injecting ourselves could in turn make us intelligent as well. Maybe I should go steal some brain cells before the exams! Get your guard on geniuses!
