PET Scan: mapping a sense of direction
Posted on Monday, August 14th, 2006 at 7:48 pmI need a PET Scan NOW!!! Let’s see. Is there a new part of my brain that is going to light up?! Because I did it today. I was direction-smart today. Um… ok. I was better than the past two days.
O’ Connell was the grand destination. On my first day, I went past it. A nice old lady showed me how to get back. On my second day, the driver cued the stop on O’Connell so I hopped off the right street… at the wrong end. I had to walk the entire length to get near Trinity College. Today, I went off the bus where it is nearest to Trinity’s road. Wahaha. I have some sort of orientation already.
I had the same success going home, as well. The first time, I found myself at the other end of the road of my hotel (that road I couldn’t name as I am not yet quite sure what road it is) . The next day, I was a kilometer closer to the entrance of my hotel. Today, I hopped off exactly in front of the entrance to DCU. Yehey!!!
I am pronouncing myself a Dubliner today because of this success. Yeah right.
