My brain is full

I am on a much deserved study break.  Or at least in my mind I deserve it.  I took the practice exam, but only the sections I REALLY struggle with.  I got a 68% on the fill in the blank and a 100% on the embryology and radiology sections.  I missed most of the relationships questions.  Such as: The sural nerve passes "blank" and inferior to the lateral malleolus.  I have no idea.  Deep?  Medial?  Anterior?  There are too many choices and I inevitably choose wrong.  I suppose I should go spend more time looking at the 3D cadaver thing at school or maybe at the real ones in the lab.  I am just banking on passing the blood flow and nerve questions with a high percentage so I can have some elbow room with these and the practical. 

I would say I should study more, but I have come to realize the brain and the stomach are very similar and I think my brain is getting too full.  This is unfortunate for anything interesting that comes up in the future as I will have no room in my brain for storage.  Or I suppose if the brain truly is like a stomach for knowledge then I should be excreting useless thoughts from which all beneficial material has been removed at a rate which increases as I study more.  I suppose this can be accounted for in the random extended conversations I have been having out loud with myself or my cat about diseases that I think would be easy to cure, but don't exist.  Like tasty, edible skin growths.  I think if things like warts or blisters were really made of different types of candy they would be easy to cure.  Just have the patient eat them.  The only problem would be that some patients wouldn't really want to be cured because having snacks built into your own body where they can grow would be convenient AND fun.  Then maybe there would be a sort of reverse vaccine where in an attempt to cure world hunger people all over the world would be injected with the horrible blue raspberry boil virus.  Also, if the brain is like a stomach then it should follow that if I keep stuffing it to the point of unbearable pain it should start to expand and cause a hunger, if you will, for more knowledge until I wake up in the middle of the night with my brain growling until I get a midnight study session in.  Hopefully it will be something nutritious like arterial supply rather than things that will only make me sick like nerve lesion problems.  Anyway, I suppose I have quite proven myself wrong about there being no point in studying and now I should go study until I am about to explode in order to expand my brain to accomodate more in the future.  I wish my brain was like my appendix so if it got bothered it would explode and I would have a perfect excuse to never learn anything.

Outside of schoolwork, I had a nice visit from everyone today.  I greatly appreciate the food which I am considering an early celebration of my marginal success on my first exam.  Next weekend I am going to pretend the cake tasting is a celebration as well rather than a horrible chore where I am forced to taste several delicious cakes to have at my wedding.  Then I will stay home forever!  Okay, I won't because I am too far in debt already to give up for something as small as homesickness.  Mark my words though, one day I will figure out how to put the entire Fitzsimmons medical center on a truck and switch its place with the Cinemark and Lowe's in Colorado Springs so I can come back for good.
