Why do I suddenly feel really dumb and stuff?

One of the classes I'm taking this summer is Intro to Psychology. It's one of the gen ed courses required to be taken as part of my associates degree, even though I already took Sociology back when I got my Bachelor's Degree but apparently that doesn't count for my humanities section credits for my new degree so they're forcing me to take extra classes that -- while interesting -- have nothing much to do with all the skills that I actually need to learn in order to do my job... but that's a whole other topic of minorly bitter conversation and I digress.

I'm currently reading about the brain's development before birth, and I just read the most depressing sentence:

"On the day you were born, you had most of the brain cells you would ever have."

So... when we joke that we're losing brain cells, we're not really kidding?

;D

I need all the brain cells I've got!

Okay, okay, back to my homework. I've got to finish reading this chapter, do the online assignment and take 2 quizzes about it yet TONIGHT.

Maybe if I had more brain cells, I'd be more committed to getting my homework done.
