This morning's illness update
Mar. 12th, 2005 07:26 amI woke up with some back pains but no creepy skin feeling. I sneezed and a fire sale worth of mucus came out. This is a hint that the disease is nearing completion. Oh, and my temperature is down to 99.0F. I'm not completely healed yet but I have no desire to be trapped in the apartment all day. Oh, and food! I've barely had any the past couple days! I bet this has been roxor for my diet.
I just ate a bowl of cereal. Man, I need to come up with something intelligent to say, now that my higher functions are coming back. Uhhh... not yet. Maybe later. I was thinking about how my brain decides to learn things, but that could get dull fast. Let's see how lively I can keep this...
I learn almost completely through mnemonics and analogy. People have gotten annoyed with me because I'll try to teach the analogy first to prepare the thought. This is because it can be condescending if a person doesn't think that way (how do they think, then?) and perceives this pedagogical tool as oversimplification.
But yeah, in my mind I'll always need an analogy. You can take an analogy too far and read more into it than the actual event provides. However, this may lead to a minor paradigm shift -- you develop a better analogy to integrate the fuller set of concepts.
I am so tempted to run outside and see how my eyes react to light. I've only been indoors for 22 hours but it feels like years. Later, dudes.
