I don't know how it feels when brain cells die....

...but I'm pretty sure what I'm feeling now must come close.  It has been 8 months since I have last been in school, and I have, for the most part, embraced my time off, and the ability to give my brain a rest after college.  However, there comes a point for me, when having time off to watch movies, read books, bake, cook, and sleep in becomes WAY too much.  Plainly stated: I AM SO BORED!  I think my brain cells are starting to die (not literally because of boredom, as several thousand brain cells die every day, but figuratively speaking). 

Although many students currently in the PA program have said to study anything before the program starts is as close to committing a sin as you can possibly get, but I have decided that I need some sort of intellectual stimulation before all of my brain cells die entirely, and there are none left for the actual program.

I have yet to decide what I am going to do in order to satisfy my need to learn and do something intellectual, but I have contemplated volunteering at the museum, or tutoring, or (Heaven forbid) simply pulling out one of my old college textbooks and reviewing some of the stuff I have learned.  I love learning, especially science, and that may just be the way that I get rid of this monumental brain cell-slowly-dying feeling.
