Welcome

The first week of my college education is over and it was very interesting but at the same time, raised a few problems I hadn't anticipated.

For example, the issue of time management .
Learning about 50 hours a week is difficult and real time consuming.  I found myself struggling to find time during the day to eat, and when I arrived home, I always found myself busy until after midnight, knowing that I need to wake up the next day at 6:00AM.  This weekend I realized I need a good time management plan so I could sleep, eat & study well without any pressure.

The food is another problem I encountered this week.
Apparently, one sandwich for 8 hours just isn't enough.  I was hungry the whole week, and even lost about 2Kg this week for not eating correctly.
In terms of food, my plan for the coming week is to have a good breakfast in the morning, 3 sandwiches during the day and healthy dinner with meat and a salad for dinner.  Hopefully this diet will give me all the energy I need to be able to concentrate up to 12 hours a day in lectures.

The first semester of a Brain Science Freshman's year consists of introductory courses in: Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Programming, Philosophy, and Brain Science.  Of course there's also a number of mathematics courses at a much higher level then what is taught in high-school.

It was very interesting to learn this week how the brain developed and why  it developed in the head?  If the brain is so important it should have been kept somewhere safer than the head, just as the heart is kept safe under the ribs.  It turned out that the brain actually developed in the head because ancient marine organisms developed sensor cells at the front of their body to know what is ahead of them, food or danger, so they could act.  In evolution, those cells developed to be the brain we all have in our head.
