Training

I am an intern. Most of you know this. I'm working at Provo Canyon School in the neurofeedback lab. Most of you don't know what this is. I sure didn't. Basically I hook up kids' brains to sensors and they watch movies/play games/whatever and it teaches their brainwaves to be more normal. It's really cool stuff. It can fix migraines, pms, help bipolar issues, and more! (I really just wanted to sound like an infomercial). Now some of this may be wrong...I don't think so and am trying to avoid mistakes by being as general as possible. Ken has been doing this longer and would be able to correct me. But anyway.

I am an intern.

I feel so much more official now that I got keys and a badge on Thursday. I also feel much less helpless; I can actually enter and exit the building by myself. Before I got the keys I was sometimes mistaken as a student there. One instance involved some students getting really excited because I had "stolen" some keys (I had borrowed some so I could go to the bathroom). They were quickly disappointed. I try to avoid this by dressing up a bit, and it's worked most of the time. All in all I love it.

Anyway. That was just an intro.

What I really wanted to mention (read: complain about) are the training dvds that I am watching. I'm on my fourth one (which is the fifth dvd...I don't have two or three but four is divided into A and B sections) and they're an hour and a half each. And that's a long time for what I'm watching. I'm watching lectures. And this one is even better because it's the start of a new "day" of lectures so there is a new woman teaching the class and they're going through introducing each other and telling their stories and why they're there and so on. It's been doing this the whole time. It's at 26 minutes right now. I have written this entire blog post and they're still on a roll. Whoo.

There are 15 of these dvds. I just may be crazy afterward.

Becky may also be crazy. She is on a roll these couple days. Yesterday she went to work from 3 to 9 at APX and then came home for a bit and then left for a graveyard shift at the Center For Change. She got home just after 7 and I'll wake her up in a little over an hour (that's 3 1/2 hours of sleep for y'all) so she can get to another shift at APX from 11:30 to 8 and come home to sleep for two more hours or so and then head to her second graveyard shift. She'll get home at 7:20 or so tomorrow morning and will most likely sleep all day.

Wow.

My wife is the greatest person in the entire world. I honestly believe that.

The introductions on this dvd are finally over. For all of you who care, it was 35 minutes and 30 seconds.

What else? I can't think of much else. Oh yes. Please click here. This game, called Portal, is amazing. And it's also now free for about a week longer. I downloaded it and finally got it working (it took a while...wasn't working on my computer for a bit) and I love it. I have never gotten into a puzzle game before so this is my first one. It's great. If you want it go ahead and head on over this way. I don't know if any of you will care, but I figured I'd share it anyway.

Well I should probably get going. I need to finish this dvd. It's my second one this morning! I'm productive.

Only 50 more minutes to go.
