Happy Thanksgiving. ^_^

I hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving. Mine was very nice. I slept in, and still had plenty of time to play around before we went to my aunt's house for dinner. I played Soul Calibur II, which is my newest method of time consumption.

Newest method of procrastination, you mean?

Same difference. v_v;;

I've not started yet on my homework, which consists of an English paper, an English take home test, and random other assorted things due later on next week. I have a good feeling about this next English paper, but I'm of the mind that that good feeling will disappear should I decide to procrastinate.


Oh, yes. I have an optional Psychology project. It's extra credit, and it's worth two test grades. :o! If I get a one hundred on it, it will count as two one hundreds in her gradebook, which would be absolutely incredible.

So, the project. We have to buy a mouse, of the small and domestic variety. We're to take care of it, bond with it, and then train it to do something; i.e. go through a maze or an obstacle course.

Now, this sounds like an awful lot of fun. I'm just concerned about how much time I'll have to put into it, and where will I put the mouse? :p

My room is a topic of great debate, because the temperature fluctuates. I have my space heater on while I'm in here, making it nice and warm. But, I'm not allowed to leave my space heater on when I'm sleeping, or when I'm away from my room, because I don't have a smoke detector up here. If a fire was started by the space heater, the whole house could burn down. :o

So, anyways. Whenever my space isn't on, the temperature in my room drops significantly. We're getting into winter here in New England, and unlike California, that actually means something here. =p Winter is cold here. It isn't "nippy" out. It is frigid. The cold would kill the mouse, if not the fluctuation of temperature.

Regardless of the location issues, I've already resolved to make an obstacle course out of Legos. =p

Mrs. Bednarz showed us some of the things kids in the past have used: mouse-sized ladders, tight ropes, and see-saw like contraptions. The mouse will not naturally want to cross the tight rope, and they don't particularly care for the movement of the see-saw as they walk or run over it. I intend to use both in my obstacle course. :D That, along with some random other twists and turns, I think ought to get me an A. Provided I can train the mouse to do it. Also provided I get the mouse. =p

I have until Jan. 4 to turn in a video tape of my mouse going through the maze/obstacle course twice in a row. I'd really like to give it a shot. ^_^

Now I'll get back to tidying my room and building an obstacle course.

Comment Commentary:

Mimmi: I'm glad you stopped where you did. u_u;; I set myself up a number of times in that last post.

Ben: You're a loser. Why'd you leave yourself so open to things like that? :o

DDG: *burn* *kill* *destroy* *defeat in TSC2* Happy Thanksgiving! And thanks for the visit. I'm now up to 3005 visits. ^_^
