My brain is full

9-13-09

Did you miss me? I had to take a break. We went out on the town. Don't worry. I am back now to corrupt your lives a little more or maybe make you laugh a little harder at me.

Have you ever had the feeling that your brain is too full? I have been experiencing that all too often recently. I usually get that feeling when there is a job change or a life change or there is something completely new to learn. I also get that feeling when visiting a large amount of historical or scientific museums. So I got that feeling when I first went to instrument repair school. Then I got it when I started teaching elementary kids. I also got that feeling when I went to Washington D.C. this summer. I felt it last week when I started trying to figure out how to teach Science and Social Studies as a music teacher. I also felt it this weekend after another whirlwind of travel to the World of Coke and the Atlanta Aquarium. It's a lot to take in all those facts in one day.

If you are unfamiliar with the disorder of Brain Full let me tell you a little more. The classic symptoms are a furrowed brow, a sense of being overwhelmed, and a slight feeling of panic. Not to worry if you experience any of these symptoms they will soon pass. Your brain will not explode (I've only seen that once) and you will eventually be able to learn new information at a later time. The most prescribed method of relief for those suffering from Brain Full is to immediately cease whatever activity you are doing, sit down in a comfortable chair, put your feet up, and relax. Your brain will ease away from the tension and you will soon begin to function in life again.

That is the end of my public service announcement.

Have a blessed evening and thanks for reading my 21st blog.
