Day 73
Since my life these days seems to revolve around the joys of neuroscience, I can’t think of anything else to write about. So here are some little tidbits for my readers:
You have 12 cranial nerves, which are apparently very crucial. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to see, smell, hear, taste, chew, swallow, sneeze, gag, smile, etc, etc, etc. Important functions, no?
3 of these nerves have a main function of controlling eye movements.
3 nerves are involved in taste – one takes care of the front 2/3 of the tongue, one the back 1/3, and one the throat. Yes, your throat can taste. (If you’ve ever swallowed a chloroquine pill the wrong way, you KNOW your throat can taste).
There ya go. And here I go to try to ingrain these facts into my brain. But before I do, I’m needing this right now:
Isaiah 40:28-31 “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. 29 He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. 30 Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, 31 Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.”
Made for Eternity 
Hear instruction and refuse it not. We are praying for you in this “cramming” time. We are confident that you will do well and always for His glory which is a thought I can be prone to forget. You are precious to me. Gpa M.
I sent one and it said my comment is awaiting moderation, whatever that means.
We are praying for you in this very busy part of this term.
Hi katie! I personally despise chloroquine, because it always went down the wrong way. But at least it wasn’t that nasty pink liquid stuff that we used to take for malaria. I could never get it down. Do you remember when Mom and Dad used to grind up the paludrine in jam? Sick. These days we’re taking doxycycline, which also happens to be good for other stuff. Like when I got sick that one time and they thought it might be tick typhus or something, they treated me with doxy. Supposedly it causes you to sunburn easily. Well, enough about malaria, and medicine. Have a great day! Love ya, Em 🙂
Em, that pink stuff was liquid chloroquine, which was why it was so nasty!
