I liked the information that they gave to us. I think I am finding all of these visitors and all of this information very interesting and it is hard for me to find things interesting sometimes. I like and enjoy all of this information. At times it is hard for me to take all of it in because it is such good information but I find it easy to listen to and fun to experience. I think it is interesting how the brain is used for so much more than just remembering things and holding memories. It is used to help move your body and control how you feel and tell you when something is wrong. I think that all of the tests and free examinations they provide are all very interesting. I enjoyed hearing about what happens to the brain when people eat too much or too little and what happens when people do drugs or drink a lot of alcohol. I like how we can sometimes self-diagnose ourselves when something is wrong or how we can learn about how to do that stuff so that if it ever happens we know how to move forward with it and fix it. I like the fact that there is so many tests and different way that you can find out if something is wrong with you and that it's not always your fault if something is wrong with you and it's not always the worst thing in the world.

Campus crawl I’ve always been interested in going to college, but I never knew for how long or for what. I’ve just always been told that that's the right thing to do. I think that going for 4 years would be beneficial for me but I still don’t know what exactly I want to study. I want to do something that I can direct myself in and not have to work for others.
My favorite school that we visited was Cal Poly because it was just welcoming there and I liked the environment. I dont think I would attend Cal Poly though because they major more in engineering and I’m not really interested in that. My second favorite school was Santa Cruz, it was really pretty there but the environment there wasn’t the best, it was really quiet and I am not a quiet person at all. My third school I liked the best was Berkeley, it was very lively there and it was a cool place to see. It is a very cool school and I think it would be great to go there. My least favorite school was Monteray Bay. I did not really like that school at all. It was very lonely there and it seemed a lot like High Tech. I love High Tech but I don’t think that that college would benefit me in the real life. I didn’t like the fact that it looked so abandoned and it was so lonely. This week, I had to do a presentation on a topic I chose to advocate for about the brain. My topic was cerebral palsy. I chose to do the topic of Cerebral Palsy because I have a little brother with it. Cerebral Palsy is a collection of disorders caused by abnormal brain development or damage to the brain that occurs around the time of birth or early in life. When he was born, he was born three months early and he died for seven minutes. The doctors always said he wouldn’t be able to function like a “normal” person would. They always said that he wouldn’t be able to eat, speak, or function like I would. He is very much alive and can do pretty much everything “normal” people can do, except walk. He eats by himself, he can most definitely tell you something that he remembers from the day before. He walks, but using a walker and that's it. I absolutely hate the stigma around any people with disability, because it sucks to know that people are called stupid or dumb or anything mean because of something that isn’t their fault. They didn’t choose to be that way and they are more than capable than doing anything they want just like I am. They should not ever be put down because of something that they can't change. It can affect them greatly and make them do bad things. They shouldn’t have to go through more when they already go through enough.
I did the same thing as last week except this week I almost threw up. It was Tuesday morning, I came in late to school because I went to the dentist and we started cutting opening the pig’s stomach. I couldn't stand the smell and it looked so real, I know it was “but this time it was different”. I just couldn’t look at it any longer and, I had to go outside and read alone. I felt so sick that day and I don’t know why. Last week the first day, I could barely look at it but then I got used to it, and this week I could barely even be in the same room with it. It was horrible. I could barely even walk, I was so weak. I don’t think that dissecting animals is for me. It was a really cool experience and I know a lot of people dont always get to do it, but I dont think I could do it again. It smelled like dead pig. It was too sad for me to watch. It was cool to see where all of the body parts of the pig are and how closely pigs are to humans. I liked my role, taking pictures. I got to see up close what the pig looked like and where everything went. I didn’t think I would get so sick from just looking at it, but the smell contributed to it too. I have never felt that from dissecting something,but it was sure an experience.
