Hello people,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I realized I never posted my blog for Friday, so this one will be a longer post to cover the past 4 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I said I would tell you more about the art walk and that is what this blog post is all about. So, the Art Walk was on Main Street and there were other shops with the art booths. At one of the shops, I was infatuated with a plush lobster that could also be used as a heating pad. I don’t know why, but the lobster made me so happy, and I ended up buying him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Se\u00f1or Lobster.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We also explored a few other stores. There was a chocolate store that had some good lemon and lime gelato. There was also a bookstore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the Art Walk we all went to Buffalo Wild Wings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Weekend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the weekend we had our second mandatory extracurricular activity which was a team bonding activity and rope course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The team bonding was surely something. We had to get through different obstacles together. One of the challenges we had was to get over a slanted wooden post that was a few feet in the air. Let’s just say it didn’t exactly go as expected and while I was going over the post, I kind of fell. I ended up scraping my left arm and falling on my back (nothing was broken).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the Rope Course we got Whatcha Smokin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatcha Smokin is a barbeque spot Luther, Iowa. This was my third time getting their food and I really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then on Sunday I went to the Ames Public Library, which is pretty sweet. The have a wide variety of books along with some study spaces. While there I was working on some PsychoPy coding. PsychoPy is the application we are currently using to induce curiosity. I am trying to figure out PsychoPy’s documentation and coding in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than that nothing has really changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
