7/8

At breakfast this morning, I spilled my milk and made my whole breakfast soggy.
Figures.

Creative Writing: In small groups, our class looked at a picture and wrote a dialogue (no description, just dialogue) between two people, a girl and a guy, that was awkward and showed what they were doing without writing it outside of the quotes. We also worked on editing our eavesdropping dialogue from the night before and changed it so that they sounded different- unique or quirky- with new evocative adjectives. Hilarious result!

Experimental Psychology: We went over a powerpoint about the brain- its parts, memory loss, etc. and learned about a girl who had epilepsy and had to remove half of her brain and survived the experience. We also learned about a man in history, Phineas Gage, who had a huge brain injury after an iron pipe sliced through his skull. He survived, though, even though it was a while ago and there was a huge gaping hole in his chin and brain. *shivers* We also talked about the controversy regarding Animal Testing.

Bus ride: We had a bus ride since we were going to Windsor Castle. We had a packed lunch with a disgusting sandwich and an amazing-tasting clementine. xD

Windsor Castle Excursion: At Windsor castle, we went inside the palace and explored in small groups. We took lots of pictures as well and saw the guards marching in their uniforms.

Pizza Express: Cheese pizza. xD

Bus ride: I talked to one of my best friends, Aubrey, in the bus about comparing the schools we went to.

Evening: I ran outside in drizzling rain when we got back and became very hyper. :) My friends and I also stood in the queue for evening activities for the next day and went to the evening shout before bedtime.
