The Beginning

Tired. Dozed off a bit during physiology, while the lecturer was explaining central nervous system. Saw a funny slide popping up. It was a game, he said, and the game was called 'finding the red dot'. I should've known better it's a typical 'look close until something jumps at you' kind of game. The red dot we were trying to find got smaller and smaller, until 'Clicky!' Some girls screamed. I was forced awake, for 5 seconds. It was a ghostly rotting face which should make guest appearance in 'Silent Hills' instead of a physiology lecture proper. The lecturer apologized, saying it was a demonstration of authoratative reflex. For example, jumping, sweating, screaming. Lame man. Lame.

Atropine, a toxin from nightshade, traced its history of misuse back to Renaissance, Italy. Dumb women dipped atropine into their eyes to create a 'Doe-eyed beauty' effect, aka. massive pupil dilation that makes them look dumb and makes men go 'Oh, lovely harmless birdies!'. You know what happens when your pupils dilate? You can't tell an apple from a pair. And sure you can't tell an ugly 80 year old faggot from another frivolous youth. Ah, women women...

Lab work starts tomorrow. The beginning of a long journey zhu!

They use atropine as part of a combination in drugs still. Lol, odd that it was used to make doe eyes. That's why it's good for people not to follow the pack :-)
