DON'T I HAVE THE CUTEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD!?!?!?  I thought so too :)  So there is a reason behind there being a giant lobster in school today!  In psych, Mr. Stock's going to bring in his son some time soon and we need to do an experiment on him based off of other experiments we learned about in that class that Piaget did on children.  We decided to test his son's egocentrism since children around his age are supposed to be obsessed with themselves.  In the original experiment, Piaget had a plaster mountain range that he placed in front of a kid and he sat behind it and asked the kid which view he (Piaget) was seeing.  The kid, being egocentric, is supposed to respond by saying the researcher saw the same view as himself.  Since we didn't have a plaster mountain range, Katie was kind enough to offer up her giant lobster for this experiment :).  So we placed the lobster in a desk since it couldn't sit up by itself and took pictures from different angles and Mr. Stock's son is going to have to choose the correct angle from those pictures (it sounds confusing but it's not).  Here is our favorite picture of the front view because the lobster looks awesome:

Katie said it looks like a CD cover haha :)  Also, we're all a little concerned that Mr. Stock's son might be afraid of it hahaha :)  Going along with this picture, Katie brought this lobster to first hour and sat it in a desk and while Mrs. Van was handing out stuff to us, she accidentally passed out an extra copy in the row the lobster was sitting in cause she mistook it for a student haha :)  Then we took this picture:

Cause we decided we want to hang it on Mr. Stock's bulletin board and see how long it takes him to notice it's up there...he probably won't.  We've had a sub the whole week which is how we're pulling all this off :)
Other than the lobster, today was a pretty normal day.  It was kind of freezing in our school today but then I got so hot in gym class!!  I was seriously dying.  Then I came home, got alterations on my prom dress and went to tumbling.  Since there is a tumbling meet in Indiana on the weekend, the coaches are leaving tomorrow so my Friday class had to get switched to today.  I finished The Grapes of Wrath when I got home tonight.  It was pretty good until the end. I don't know what the heck happened!  It was so strange!  And also, Mrs. Van kept saying how the ending scene grossed her out and I got to the second to last page and was all, "nothing gross happened" and then the last paragraph existed...UMMM!?!?  I also felt that the story just kind of ended.  But it was overall okay.  I'm going to leave you with a picture that happened this morning that I thought looked funny.  This is when Dad was making his lunch:
