Test Taken...

Test bombed... Damnit, I feel like such a freaking idiot. How can I study so much and still feel so unprepared?! Sure, a few of the questions I knew right away, but then the rest of the exam I simply stared at blankly with no clue how to even go about it. I hate that feeling, it makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

Sigh... I can't wait today to be over...

By the way, did you know that giraffes only sleep 2 hours a day? They spend the majority of the night taking turns watching for predators. Giraffes do a pretty damn good job at making themselves practically impossible to eat if you ask me.

And did you know that ducks can put half their brain to sleep at a time? The ducks on the perimeter of a flock when they are resting at night will close the eye to the inside of the circle and that corresponding side of the brain shuts down, after a little while they get up and turn around so that the other side can get a break too.

Scientists are now thinking that the reason for sleep is to conserve energy. Our brain is very high maintenance and it is simply inefficient to have it running all the time, so it is simply logical to shut it off while the rest of the body is performing maintenance. Makes sense to me... Though perhaps if I never slept then I would use up the stored resources I have strapped around my belly faster. Hmmm...
