\mytitle{A Semi-Normal Day}{\gp}

Psychology today was of the most efficient, instructive, and productive days
of the semester so far.

After getting to class in a timely manner, we began cracking down on new senses
instantly. Today we covered the sense of sight, sound, touch and their
respective subsystems. Just two senses might seem like a small amount, but the
amount of information that we covered was quite a bit. Coverage included
anatomy, physiology, and psychology of the senses.

In addition to the slides that we covered, we took a look at videos and images
which could be described as optical illusions. After falling for these illusions
we were then delivered the explanation of how they worked. I found the
explanation of how our ears worked to be the most interesting, as I had
previously done work with music theory implementations in software where I often
had to deal with various topics such as frequency/ pitch, wavelengths, and the
physical relationship of sound waves relative to different settings such as the
speed of sound in air or a vacuum, simulated in software. Additionally, being
a perfectionist in music and professional audio, I found that learning about
the physical and mental processes of hearing was quite interesting.

Even though class today covered a large range and depth of information, we were
able to get through faster than most people had expected and we were able to
leave class almost a full 25 minutes early.
