Brain Juice pt. 2

Tried some Polish brain juice this afternoon (Gingko Biloba, Lecithin, Magnesium & Guarana).....could be all psychological but I think it worked. I suddenly felt more focused, and the words just flew into my brain and stuck. Whether its real or perceived ingeniousness that comes with this brain juice. I like it. I could live with this for a few weeks. Oh yeah.

Just get over it.

What? Just get over it? I just want to say that I'm tired of looking at the same books with the same words twisted in different sentences every day. I'm tired of waking up, going to school, coming home, eating lunch, opening the books, eating dinner and going to sleep. I'm tired of all of the men in my life disappointing me and I just need someone to believe in. I'm tired of being aggravated at my mama when all she does is try to peel me off the ceiling when I'm just ranting about being tired with my life as it is at this moment. My life's not bad.....I'm a happy girl. I'm just tired. For now, just tired....and no, I won't be "getting over" anything anytime soon. Remember till December I am not accountable for my actions or words. Just tired. Goodnight. I feel better. Thank you.

Brain Juice?


Alright. So pimps have pimp juice, health nuts have veggie juice....we, the medical students have what? Brain Juice. Now, this has been used in reference to any substance that we ingest that has some effect (whether percieved or real) on our energy and concentration abilities. It really could just be ground up chalk in a capsule form and believe me, we'll take it if you promise us it'll make us concentrate more, think faster, recall any page of text in any given textbook or just not stare blankly at a professor while we search for an answer or (the usual response) hope that by staring blankly they'll give up and ask someone else or just forget we were ever in the room to begin with. So anyway, I'm considering ordering this Brain Quicken stuff cause they say that I get 110% money back guarantee that ......"BrainQUICKEN is a lab-tested performance product scientifically engineered to quickly increase the speed of neural transmission and information processing (perceptual focus, memory storage, and recall), with a prolonged effect of 2-6 hours following each dosage."......Now seriously, how could I even consider not ordering it??? A fellow medical student was popping them like Tic Tacs while studying for her boards....and, well, she made it to them exam! We don't know her score yet but I'm willing to bet it was fantastic. Hmmmmm, Decisions. Decisions. Obviously the fact that I've never heard of any of the ingredients has no bearing on this decision cause THEY SAID IT'LL WORK. That has to count for something. Ooooooh, brain juice.
