Brains

Today was fun because this semester we have these half classes, where half of the class goes to one class and the other half to another. It's supposed to allow the teacher to interact with us more and such. But only for three periods on Tueaday... Idk why either. 

Today we also got a little lecture from our "Klassenlehrer" (class teacher-meaning we are class 3D with him as our main organizer of activities and trips and such) about motivation and why we are in the Gymi (higher level school) instead of the Sek (lower level school). He talked about training your brain and stuff like that, which I found really neat. Did you know your brain perceives over 10,000,000 stimuli/bits of information per second? And we only physically notice 16. And after an hour we only remember 1-2. And after a few days we only remember 0.5. And years later, if we experience something that somehow is similar to that 0.5 bit of information, we might make a connection to it and our brains will have a little imaginary string connecting those bits of info. But if you never received or studied that information, your brain never has the chance to make that connection. So even if you don't remember much of what you studied in 10 years, if you somehow make a connection, your brain has the opportunity to grow and make new imaginary strings connecting stuff. If you never trained your brain by trying to remember stuff, you won't ever make that connection and you will be scientifically not as smart. Weird stuff. Brains. But fascinating. 

Tomorrow after school I'm doing a mini Photoshoot with one of my friends:) I'm excited to see if we get any good pictures!
