My fried (bean) brain

For my psych class I had to make a brain model and then post in on blackboard (this is an online class and you post everything in this system) But the sad thing in doing this project is I spent hours making this thing and yet no one sees it in person so I am going to post what it looks like here so all of you can see it.

After doing this project I felt like I had fried my brains I had to label 10 parts of it then find 3 things that could disfuction in that part of the brain and how it would affect them. This was not easy. But it is done and I am very happy.

A night at the mall

This blog is slowly becoming a weekend night blog. That is the only time I seem to update this. It is also the only night that I don't have to get up the next day at 4 am!

Last night Shana and I (my house sister) went to the mall looking for a gift for Amy (my other house sister). We went into this pre-teen store that just makes me sad seeing how even at a young age they are already trying to be like the favorite pop star in especially the way they dress. What was even sadder was the parents are sitting right there thinking that what they are (barely) wearing is so cute. I just don't understand.

Later in the mall we went into this other store to look around and we ran into the sales associate that helped me last time. We ended up getting into a conversation with her as she was helping me look for a belt that would work for choir. When we where getting ready to leave she said good luck at the performance I was going to be in. We then explained to her that it was for our church choir and not a performance. We then left after that. As we where leaving I think we both had that thought of "why did we not invite her to church?" I even have business cards in my purse just for that occasion. What stops a person from inviting someone? Shana wants to go back and start investing into this person as she helps us shop, I do to. I just pray that I be listening to the Holy spirit and know when to invite her.

Well it is getting late and I have been working on homework all day long trying to figure out the brain (for my psychology class). When I figure out how to put the picture of it online I will show it!

Blustery Fall night

As I was driving this evening it really felt and looked like fall. The crisp cool air, the wind blowing and my favorite, watching the leaves fall to the ground. I almost wanted to go find a park and twirl around as the leaves fell around me or find a fireplace and curl up with a good book and read the night away. But since I have homework to do I thought I better go find a coffee shop to sit in and do my work. I did not make a very wise choice in my choosing I went to Third Place books and they are having a concert here tonight. Although it is fun to listen to I don’t get much work done. There are many different people that come and watch this function families, couples, singles, teens, the young and the old. What is real cute is all the little kids dancing to this Irish sounding band trying so hard to do the Celtic dancing

Sitting in a coffee shop

One of my favorite places to do my homework is a coffee shop. Although I don't get to much done. I like to people watch way to much, I get on the internet and talk with people or write in my blog (which I am doing right now.) Just a moment ago I was actually doing my homework and all the sudden behind me I hear this big bang on the window. This poor girl walked right into it. Hard. I heard her say later that she thought that it was the doorway and the door was open and was walking right in. She must not have seen me because I would have been sitting in the middle of the walk way. Anyway I felt bad for her that had to hurt.
Well my nutrition book is calling my name so I better answer it's call and finish these notes.

Daily life

Ok I am going to try this again. I think I now have two blogs but for some reason it had me start over again.

So I just finished my second week of school and life is in full speed. Between working 6.5 hours a day and going to school full time it makes for not a lot of extra time. But I am not complaining I was so bored this summer after my summer classes finished that now life feels normal. Is that crazy or what?
One of my classes I am taking is sign language this can be quite interesting considering my teacher does not hear and she can talk although she chooses not to. Most of the class is a guessing game in trying to figure out what she is saying. But I am learning how to do some sign and I am finding it much easier to do then when I took Spanish a few years ago. ( I don't think I even passed the class!)
Another one of my classes is nutrition and I am learning and seeing more things then I will ever want to know and see. Today we watched a movie on digestion and I only watched part of it because my stomach could not handle the other parts.
