Ohhh finally its friday!! I cant believe the days just pass by in a split of seconds. One minute its monday, the next thing you realise..WTH its friday already! Hooray to weekend!
Always looking forward to weekends nowadays.
So much to do! Finally complited OT report, now i have to think bout a good topic for my Rural assignment...*scratches head*
.....Neuroscience is definitely chopping my brain to bits. Im struggling with this unit, in terms of the amount of info and glossary terms i need to remember for the exams..and i honestly felt that the text book is not detail enough :( . One presentation coming up next week for this unit. Butterflies in my stomach. Today's topic was about Visual Perception, dont have to know much bout the anatomy of the eye but more on the visual system...what u see on the right eye goes to the left visual cortex...vice versa...gets so confusing. So if u have a lesion on the left hemisphere..affecting either ur optic nerve or tract..ur right eye will be affected. Wooh....Homonymous Hemianopia was one of the new terms i learnt today..its a primary visual disorder due to the lesion in the optic tract on one side of the brain..causing blindness or loss half visual field in each eye. We were shown a documentary video as well during lec. One man had a car accident, he didnt completely lose his vision. He can still see normal objects or anything surrounding him but cannot recognize people's face! even a picture of himself. Another man, can recognize people but cant recognize objects around him..eg: grass is just like a green flat ground, he couldnt tell the details but has good imagination. He was able to draw a bicycle..but after showing him the picture that he drew, he couldnt recognize it. Something to do with memory and perceptions i reckon. Oh another one is left side neglect, very common in stroke patients. Interesting.
After my group discussion today, i accompanied my coursemate to get her mother's day gift. Then headed to Targets for a quick look. We were at the shoe section, they had one pile of shoes for clearance...at a price of $4 (not all)! lol...cheap..but mostly large sizes and smallest sizes left. My friend manage to get a nice pair of flat shoes for $5.
I ended up getting a pair of Indoor Up-boots for winter..$19.99 :D
Went to Priceline the other day, was looking at the toiletries section. Came across bath mitts and shower sponges...and i was so tempted to get one. Saw this nice package which contained a bath mitts, buttefly shape sponge and two soaps for only $1.99!! LOL wohoo! Tried using the bath mitts and sponge...pretty good! Dont know how good the soap is...might be bit sensitive for my skin but its too pretty to be use.
Last but not least.............currently into this kiwi fruit. I think its a different species compare to the other ordinary green flesh ones. Its really sweet with a nectary taste. Yum yum! Reckon its in season now.
