This has been too good and too strange of a morning to not post. It was torment getting out of bed, but once up a friend stopped by to say hey and pick up his calculator he left in here last night. I also got to talk to another friend while getting ready. English was blah but survivable and let out early enough that I was able to go to Java to get a scone for breakfast (which I had neglected to eat)..yum. Spanish was awesome. Tara, Ryan and I were in a conversation group and the topic was... interesting =-) good times. Todd and I continued talking in spanish across campus to our next class. I love foriegn languages. Psychology was fascinating, but biology was better. We got to electricute ourselves. We sent electrical currents into our arm and leg muscles to first make them twitch, then sped up the stimulation until we sent the muscles into tetanus. So basically our muscles would start with a slow twitch and get faster and faster to the point where they were spazzing out until they sudden jerked out or went tight and curled up (tetanus). It was fun, but so weird feeling. We also tested our muscle fatigue of dominant versus nondominant hands. It was a really short lab. We got out in an hour. So Rachel and I went for our usually lunch at the wonderful noodle place, ran into Jacob and all three of us ate together. Afterwards, Rachel and I noticed the guy that normally works at the noodle shop working at the ice cream shop and went to say hey. He had been gone with his band playing in New Orleans. They completely wrecked a Meriot hotel when the hotel wouldn't sell them alcohol (they're in their thirties or forties). They threw the furniture out the window (eight story) and stapled tuna to the ceiling. Their agent paid 10,000 dollars to the hotel to keep them out of jail. He gave Rachel and I a valentine he was passing out to all the workers. Came back to the dorm and I'm now going to get ahead on work so I can take a trip with some friends this weekend. Actually, we're coming up to Asheville. Good time hopefully.
