Food For Thought

Tomorrow is my first midterm - in Neurosciences to be exact… I feel sorta ready. But talking to others, most feel the same way, since no one knows what to expect. The good thing is that the class is graded based on a T-score (basically a Bell curve), so you just have to perform at or above the class mean to get a decent grade. Wish me luck! :-)

It's too bad I haven't had nutrition yet… Tonight I ate a large plate of pasta with marinara/meat sauce, along with a nice salad. I remember something about athletes eating pasta the night before a big game… Maybe it will work for my brain too. Though I probably should have eaten fish, but the problem with that is I don't like fish. Well, I could have made my famous crab Alfredo over shells. Come to think of it, the crab meat isn't real though - in actuality its some sort of Japanese fish that I've never heard of. I wonder if masquerading as another species makes it better or worse brain food…

Finally, for those of you following my Hard Drive saga, I have purchased an external USB HDD. I have an image (copy) of my entire hard drive on it, plus, I have a program that automatically backs up My Documents, email files, etc., every time that they change so that I will have an up-to-date copy of my most important files should my primary HDD decide to crash. It's something I should have done years, and many crashes, ago, but hey, no one's perfect. :-) And actually it may crash at any time… Yesterday, I got a BSOD that let me know that Windows encountered a "serious error," and was halting everything to protect Windows from itself. (Gotta love MS products..) After rebooting, I got another cheery message that a "serious error" had occurred, but no problems since then. Wish me luck on this front too :-)

I´m not sure the pasta that athletes eat before a game is for the brain :grin: but hey, you never know! And yea, too bad you don´t like fish…find other foods that have Omega-3 Fatty Acids…thems good for the brain:-P (as you can tell from my lovely grammar, I probably haven´t eaten enough of them either :razz: ) Good luck with neuro!

Thanks Cathie and Son :-)

I definately passed :-) , but by how much depends on the T-score and how I did compared to the mean… We’ll know in a few days. Now it’s off to study Immuno :evil:
