I do have to applaud the man though. He did spend four years putting his project together, so he must have a pretty good idea of what he's doing. I may just be confused about most of this because I do not understand a lot of what he is talking about when he mentions stimulating the parts of the brain that hold short term and long term memory.

ADHD Research
I think the research that Mark Rapport did on ADHD has a plus side and a negative side to it. I still do not understand how letting the children move around and not pay attention in class is going to get them to learn more. It may stimulate a part of the brain that helps with memory, but they are still not paying attention enough to use it.

A Fresh Start (Champagne Supernova)
Well, this is my first blog post since god knows when. I know there aren't very many people that read this anyway, but I think it's still worth it even if I can get one person to read it. I've learned a lot since the last time I posted a blog. I learned that a person can't be lazy in order to get what they want. I have been being very lazy these past few months and it's come back to bite me in a place you don't wanna get bit in. Especially when it involves passing in school. I learned that I can easily be getting A's in just about every class of mine, I just can't push myself to really try to, I just go for the bare minimum, which is a very bad habit.
I also learned that everyone isn't going to want to be your friend, but it's better to be on good terms with them. If everyone you weren't friends with hated you, what do you think would happen when you run into them thirty years from now, they would say hi, give you a hug and pretend you two are best friends? Not at all, you would probably be lucky if they even looked your way. I have gained and lost... and gained... and lost a few more friends, but it's not as if I'm gonna start an I hate so and so club(I wonder if that's ever happened before... well besides all the we hate George Bush clubs...).
The last thing I learned was just how great music was. Especially bands like Oasis(hence the title), The Beatles, Billy Joel and Elton John were/are. Most of that music can pretty much relate to any mood you are in.
Well it's time for me to make my dramatic exit.... well.... goodbye.
