Well, things are really swinging into gear. Whatever gear busy is, that's the gear I'm in. I didn't get to relax much during my fall break (which was just a three day weekend, boo), but I did have some fun. Friday I spent the day with my family picking pumpkins and seeing Body Worlds. Both were awesome. Some quick fun facts and ponderous quotes I wrote down my the little notebook they gave me:
- The blood vessels of the human body would stretch around the world, twice, if laid out in a line.
- Neither the heart nor the brain dominate the sphere of emotions, both organs relate and respond to each other.
- Spread out flat, the cerebral cortex would be approximately 16 square feet.
- The brain is approximately 2% of our body weight, but requires 20% of our blood supply.
- "Your body is the harp of yours soul. And it is your to bring forth sweet music from it or confused sounds." --Khalil Gibran
- The tendency to see the worst in any situation makes a person more likely than any other factor (weight, gender, race) to have a heart attack.
Before dorking out at the museum, we all dorked out at the pumpkin patch, here are some photos of that moment.
Now I'm off to prepare for my week out of town. Tomorrow I'm driving to Fort Collins to see my friend Tiff and go to a class on Managing the NEPA Process (that's right, I'll know how to manage something when I get done!).
