It's only Tueday, and I end the day with a horrible uncomfortable feeling. It's like someone is gently tugging at my heart, and it only makes me feel all wrong, like something bad is about to happen. I can't do anything about it but sleep it off I guess, but at least I end the day knowing that I managed to be somewhat productive. I have a lower grade in one of my classes then I thought, and though I'm passing, I'm not doing as well as I hoped. That's to be expected considering how I procrastinated on every assignment at the beginning of the semester, though there is no use in dwelling on what I could have done better, just doing better. So I am doing better now by working on my assignment even though it is due next week. I go to bed early because Tomorrow I have to wake up at the ass crack of dawn to register for classes and sign up for summer classes.

Studying poultry farming and although it's not easy, definitely it is interesting. There are many aspects of this field that surely can be improved though (especially the animal welfare part).

A friend of mine sent me this great quiz that's linked to a research project on how we perceive sounds compared to how various other animals hear them. I took it this morning and ended up aligning with frogs, so I guess I'll wear my "Honorary Amphibian" hat from Willapa NWR with extra pride.

Over the last month I was accepted into the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, bringing a range of cognitive scientists and artists together. This year in St.Andrew's Scotland.
One of the faculty we had the privilege to hear from was Irene Pepperberg, a legend in the animal cognition world. She is known for her work in animal cognition with African Grey parrots, but most notably with a single parrot named Alex.
Reading Irene's books were a big reason I wanted to pursue animal cognition. It was amazing being able to meet her and thank her personally. She is an amazing scientist, with her research being the perfect example of how important a well designed experiment is.
college tips from someone who survived their first year, and got themselves off of academic probation
study every day ( reread your notes, run through your flashcards)
it helps to avoid cramming around finals season
do assignments when you get them, it doesn't matter that its not due until the end of the semester, you will forget, you will get busy, you will get caught up with doing something else so do it when you get it, so you won't have to worry about it later
don't study in your bed, its a bad habit, it will make it harder to study and make it harder to sleep
go out at least once a month, to a party, to a club, on a late night walk
carry a knife if its legal ( not just for safety reasons)
join class group mes
go to office hours, even if you don't need to, lie and say you didn't understand something so the professor knows your name
its okay to skip a class occasionally, just never two in a row, and don't make it a habit
i learned that in 1931, a scientist tried to teach a baby chimpanzee human behavior by raising it alongside his human son. The chimpanzee never acquired language skills, and the experiment was called off when the human baby began imitating the chimpanzee's vocalizations (x)
