random tidbits


I saw an armadillo and a porcupine yesterday. 
-The Wildlife Defenders came to Keuka. They are a group of people with traumatic brain injuries (TBI's) who go to schools and stuff educating children (and college students :)) about exotic animals. You should definately check out their website (http://www.wildlife-defenders.org/index.html)

The bell is on time again (It used to be exactly 2 mins slow) and yesterday it played America the Beautiful in honor of veterans day.

Also, yesterday I had the privilege (please note the seething sarcasm) of sitting through a lecture entitled "The Challenges of Being White". 

My email gave me a wonderful recycling tip - used aluminum foil can make a wonderful hat. I am reasonably sure this was a serious suggestion. I'm sorry, but typically the people wearing tin foil hats around are those with paranoid schizophrenia who are trying to keep people from stealing their thoughts. Since I have  no thoughts worthy of stealing, I will have to decline this wonderful fashion tip.

I've decided to never study for my abnormal psych class again. For the first test, I did everything in advance, studied all the vocab terms, read the book, and even participated in a study group. I got a 91. By the time the second test rolled around, that 'omg it's a new school year' enthusiasm had waned, so I reverted back to my old 'I put the pro in procrastinator' habits and skimmed the book chapters, glanced at the vocab, and did the bare minimum to prepare for the essay portion. I got a 91. So for this last test, I did basically nothing. I didn't even open the book, didn't bother to even list the vocab terms, and chose and 'studied' for all of the 13 essay objectives the night before. I got a 93. This is why I made a horrible tutor.

The end.
