Left VS Right Brain

According to my brain usage profile, I am left-brained and a dominant visual learner. I have yet to figure out what this all means. We start Brain, Mind, and Behavior (BMB), our last block of our first year of medical school tomorrow.

Hard to believe that one week of spring break is rapidly coming to an end. The last moments are the hardest, because that's when you actually start thinking about all the things you had planned to complete and never got around to. You know that mental list that keeps popping up, every time you try to relax and have a good time. And it's also the time when you have to pack your bags and say the good-byes.

I will say that I had a relaxing, restful and amazing break. I did not travel more than the 1.5 hour drive to Davis to my folk's house. I did not get to far. It really does not matter how far you go for vacation; it just matters who you spend your time with. Spending time with family and friends is the best way to spend time, even if it's not on a beach in some far away land.

Looking back on my week of adventures, I could not have asked for a better break; I accomplished the tasks on my "fun" list: working out at the gym every day, kickboxing, lifting weights with my trainer and old workout buddies, running, playing tennis, cooking, eating my mom's foods, spending time with my family and cats, reuniting with old friends, eating out at the 5 different restaurants in Davis, exploring Midtown Sacramento, writing, photographing, attending Picnic Day, sleeping and keeping my mind off medicine (for a change). What a week!

I guess all goods things come to an end. But so fast...

I'll revisit the topic of right vs left-sided brains once BMB starts (tomorrow....)
