Yesterday was pretty exciting!! I got my Psychology tests back and I did very well! That was a load off of my mind. :o) We also had our first softball practice of the semester. We had a lot of girls show up, and we worked on fielding, throwing and base running. I was exhausted and sore after practice, but my adrenaline was pumping so I thought I would head down to Cosgrave for some fun!

Student Life arranged for some mind-boggling entertainment last night. Mindgames, which is basically a mental tug of war, brought dozens of students down to test their control over brain activity. You begin by strapping a band around your head...this is the device they use to measure the brain activity. Then, a coin would be flipped to determine whether or not you would have an active round or a calm round, Heads=Active, Tails=Calm. During an active round, you want to exert as much brain activity as you can. By doing this you will control a small ball on the table. The more activity you have, the closer the ball comes to you. During a calm round, you want to do just the opposite. You want to stop all brain activity by thinking of nothing!! Just zone out. This will cause the ball to go away from you and towards your opponent. After awhile, however, it feels like your brain is fried from all of the output. But it was sooo much fun!!

Right now I'm finishing the last bit of packing I have to do for Florida because my parents will be here in about a half hour. I can't wait for the 70 degree weather. In all reality, I just can't wait to meet up with my pal Mickey!! So, my friends, I bid you farewell...only for a few days. Haha. :o) I think my Dad is taking his laptop down so I will check in with you from Florida!!
