Midterm Preparation

To study for my midterm, i'm going to need flash cards. Lots and lots of flashcards. I'm going to need to go back on all the vocabulary words i have written and examine other classmates blogs to compare the definitions to make sure mine sound about the same. Patricia Tuttle and I will be studying them and helping each other out to memorize and really get to know these words. i figured if i study for at least an hour and a half a day that should be enough time to get to know these words. Spend one day each on each set of vocabulary words and for Thursday study the remaining ones. 

9-6 notes

I think the color is in the way we see the notebook. Some people are color blind and they see things differently than we do.
It's the way we feel the paper, not how it really is. It feels smooth to us  because the particiles are so small compared to the ones on our fingers that it seems smooth and not rugged.
Displacement happens when you take a person out of their natural habitat and put them somewhere they dont belong.

AHA moment(:

My AHA moment was when Dr. Preston was talking about the shampoo and how we are all slaves to it. when he was saying that ' If you dont wash your hair, no one will love you'. Its weird how the can make you think that about yourself. That if your hair isnt washed with soap no one will love you. That you have to have pretty hair, or you will be alone. I first thought no... thats not true.. but thinking about it now it kinda is true. everyone does it because were scared that the person who thought of this is right and that if they dont listen to them they will die alone.
That is my AHA moment(:
