So check this out... It is a pretty wierd/neat thing. Its amazing how the human brain works, just read through the paragraph below.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
Or rather...
According to a researcher (sic) at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole.
I thought that was interesting...
PSAT, it was alright. I thought that math part was really easy, and the reading was alright. If that test is exactly (or almost exactly) like the SAT, I can see how it isnt very fair. There was about 110 total questions, and I dont see how about 37 can cover everything that we needed to learn. Gah, whatever... It was a stupid test any way. And then, there is this one person who is always bragging about something, in this case, how they had enough time to check over their work, and how they filled in everything on their answer sheet :o *gasp* Amazing. Or they always have to add something to a story someone is telling, OR interupt to tell thier own better story. Whatever. Again.
Hmm. I am in kind of a blank mood. Usually I have alot to say or complain about. Not today. Well, I did have a major headache all today. I am going to start bring advil to school for this reason. I sat near Brittany Qualkinbush and Lindsey Pullum during the PSAT. Fun stuff.
Thats all for today (and most likely the rest of the week) folks!

[edit]: And how about some information on "THis world really isnt that big after all":
So, We (my family) lived in Italy about... eh 8 years ago? I dont remember exactly, but Nick called tonight and told my mom how, through myspace, a girl who went to our same elemantary school recognized Nick in his picture (I have NO clue how she guessed it was him after 8 years of growing, and even how she came upon this side of the world in myspace [she lives in England now]) But yeah, she found him, and wrote him... That is pretty wierd. She isnt that bad looking either...
