Hello, hello people of the internet! So, I have officially started my second year in College as a Clinical Psychology major!!! *pops confetti* and today we had Social Science 104, English 103, Biochemistry 101 and PE 104 (which never happened because our professor's extremely tardy and clueless all the frikken time!?)
Anyway, today was supposed to be just an orientation for us second year students with our professors but things went entirely different in Biochemistry 101. Our professor, had decided to start discussing with us our first few lectures in the subject and guess what we'll have in our next meeting?
I'll give you a clue: A quiz.
After discussing bits and pieces about the three kinds of Carbohydrates:
a) Monosaccharide
b) Disaccharide
c) Polysaccharide
We moved on to Lipids (fatty acids, energy reserve, etc.), then to Proteins (amino acids, normal body regulation, etc.), and lastly Nucleic Acid (Nucleo tides, DNA and RNA).
Before our class finally ended though, she asked us if anyone in the class had a straight line in the palm of their hands. And to my surprise, out of the 30+ (?) people in the classroom, I was the only one who raised her hand. So you can probably say that I was pretty damn anxious, worried and excited all at the same time.
It turns out that I have what they called the "Simian Palmer Crease". I only have it on my right hand though.
According to my professor, having a Simian Crease in one hand could mean that I might be a carrier of the Trisomy 21 or also known as the Down-syndrome. No, it doesn't mean that I have Down syndrome. (DO I EVEN LOOK LIKE I HAVE IT) Anyway, she also said that if I bear a child with someone who has the same Simian Crease, there's a possibility that my child will inherit the Down syndrome.
(Same.)
But since I am person of in denial about things such as this kind, I decided to google more about the said "crease". And I found out that having one doesn't entirely mean that I'll end up giving a child a very tough life to live, which calmed me down in a way.
According to the article here,
The Simian line is when the proximal and distal transverse palm creases (heart and head lines in palmistry terms) intertwine to form one line across the hand. The feelings and emotions (of heart line) are under strong intellectual control (of headline) or vice versa. They may find it hard to distinguish between thoughts and feelings...are they thinking what they're feeling or feeling what they're thinking?....as the two are intertwined and combined. In hand analysis, the key word for this line is "intensity". It can bring single mindedness, "tunnel vision", intense concentration or even obsession in some part of their lives, as they have the ability to put their heart and mind into whatever interests them.
So, *drum combo* that's sorted!! All is well and we need only to hope for whatever is best.
Also, I hope I shared a little bit of knowledge to all you internet citizens.
