Day 70 and 71

Day 70: Psychopath

We had to take a test in the book to find out if we are possibly psychopaths. Out of all the characteristics that are those of a psychopath supposedly, I think I really only have a few. Those include pathological lying (okay, so, I'm not exactly a pathological liar, but, I do sometimes kind of either exagerate on things...for example, and Brittany, only you will know what this is, but my excuse to "Zeke" for having to leave our "outing" early), poor behavioral control (I have terrible time management skills and procrastination problems), and...that's actually it I guess. So only 2 characteristics out of 20. That makes me hardly a psychopath at all...so that makes me feel better I guess.

Oh wait, I just realized I was supposed to go through each trait and rate it from 0-4, and then add up my score. Great. One second...let me do that. So I only have 5 points out of a possible 80. But the books says that if you get anything over 40, you should render yourself to the police immediately.

Day 71: More of the World

Today we were supposed to "take our bus or train stop too far, then walk and discover everything you would normally miss." I don't exactly walk anywhere besides at school (which is kind of sad...I have a Danish exchange student living with me right now and she told me how in Denmark they walk or ride their bike pretty much everywhere, and I think that would be so cool if cities in the US were more bike accessible and people actually would do that) so I decided to go out of my way at school. Today I went through the science building at school to get to one of my classes, and this was REALLY out of my way because the science building is no where near any of my classes and I actually hate that building because it reminds me of my chemistry class which was one of my least favorite classes of my life. Anyways, I went through there just to see people I wouldn't normally see in the halls, and just check the building out since I haven't been there in so long. Well, while journeying through the building, I came across something bery interesting. This year at my school, we now have a padded room. Yes, a padded room for a boy who has anger management problems and will periodically start banging his head on the wall and flailing around...so they built the padded wall room just for him. They lock him in there and wait for him to calm down. Isn't that the weirdest thing ever? Why in the heck did they build that just for him when he could be homeschooled or go to a different school. It was just crazy and a little creepy because it looked like something in an insane asylum.
