turn table

I've been back in school for two weeks now. I have to do three oral presentations. YUK! At least I'm doing them all with Aaron. That makes me feel better about them. For psychology I don't even have a final exam, just 7 smaller tests (only six of which count). This morning we had to make a turn table. Our teacher gave us a pin, a paper clip, a fork, a pencil, a record, an apple, string, masking tape, and two pieces of paper. We had to get it so that music was coming off the record. My group did the best. One of the girls in my group and I put most of it together. We didn't even need to use all of the stuff (it turned out we weren't supposed to). I thought it was a neat excersise though.
It was supposed to teach us how we learn: by watching other people and by trial and error and by other stuff too. Also we learned that sometimes we pay to much attention to irrelevant stuff (the fork and the string). We do a lot of group work in that class. I like it. It's not just boring note taking for the whole time.
