Third post of the past ten minutes. . .

It's been a while. Oops! The news:

Last Wednesday, I went to the hospital to have my first EEG of my brain. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with my brain. I did this because I'm going to start working in Dr. Cheryl Frenck-Mestre's psycholinguistics lab, which does ERP/EEG research. She's been very accommodating with explaining to me the world of psycholinguistics, and I really look forward to my time with her and everyone else in the lab. But before I can get my hands on any subject's head, I had to go through what they are subjected to. It was fun!

We had a halloween party. Here, nobody really celebrates it, so we thought we'd do France a favor by showing everyone how to throw a party for a completely commercialized holiday.

Classes are going. . . I like my linguistics class--learning the phonetic alphabet. My cognitive psych class is a little basic, but I'm doing a group project with some really nice French girls. I benefit from their language skills, and I try to help them out with their psych knowledge, given that they're the equivalent of freshman. I'm taking a fairy tales class--the four longest hours of my week every week. And lastly, my music history of the middle ages class is very interesting. Last week we started learning how to read the music manuscripts with the square notes and funny symbols.

Also, I love the market.
