Week One:

Assignment: Comment on Jill Bolte Taylor's Stroke of Insight.

Thoughts:
- That reminds me, I have to do my laundry. I was actually trying to get that thought out of my head while I was meditating earlier. I guess I succeeded.
- On trying to call 911: I've actually had that problem in a dream. I tried to call 911 but ended up with 119, 901, 109, etc. That's what clued me in onto the fact that this was a dream. I find the similarity interesting, but it would be scary to experience this in real life. I almost think I wouldn't recognize the severity of the situation, thinking reality must be a dream.

This is so cool ...but I don't have time for this.
- My first thought upon breaking my ankle. "Hey, it doesn't even hurt... I'm not going to be able to walk for weeks."

In conclusion: this sounds scary. Can I achieve "Nirvana" without the massive blood clots?
