I'm sorry for not updating yesterday! I had so much Math homework :'(
When Matthew said that I was a good friend, I could have cried right there in then in the class room. I felt so emotional all of a sudden, and it wasn't even my time of the month! I couldn't believe I was making so many friends at this school already! I silently thanked my mom with all of my heart. If this was my old school, I would basically have the same friends, Faith and Jordanne, and I would maybe have one class with them. I would have classes that were full of people who wouldn't dare talk to me, and I would make no new friends until maybe a few months in to the class because of prolonged exposure. I would also have gym class, which this school doesn't seem to have, and it would have been a disaster. I hate-hate-hate gym class. This place, however, I love-love-love. Hetalia High is the best!
Matthew and I looked over the paper some more and we discussed in some more detail about what we were doing for this months science project. The project called now you see it, now you don't' had this as the introduction that made us like it.
Intro:
Peripheral vision, or side vision, is the part of your vision that detects objects outside the direct line of vision. When you look at something, you use central vision to focus on the details, and peripheral vision to gather information about the surroundings. For example, your peripheral vision tells you where to look if someone enters the room, or if a car is approaching from the side. And as you read these words, you are using central vision to focus on a word or a few words, and peripheral vision to see where the words are within the sentence, the paragraph, and the page.
The light-sensitive lining at the back of your eye, called your retina, has light-receiving cells, called cones and rods. Only the cones are sensitive to color. Cone cells are most abundant in the central region of the retina, called the fovea. This region gives you the sharpest view of an object.
Rod cells are better at sensing objects in dim light than cone cells are, but they are not sensitive to color. Rod cells are also very sensitive to motion, and are responsible for your ability to detect things moving toward you before you can focus on them. This characteristic probably had strong adaptive value during the early stages of human evolution.
In this human biology science fair project, you will investigate the range of your peripheral vision, and determine how this range is affected by color, shape, ambient (meaning surrounding) light, and motion.
Both of us agreed that we must either have some sort of pheromone that made peoples cones and rods not work around us, or that we have an electrical charge that made peoples peripheral vision shut down. Then we kept on making up a bunch of reason for us to be invisible that sounded scientific. When we couldn't think of anything scientific as san excuse, we thought that maybe Harry Potter washed his invisibility cloak in our washers, so the invisible dye bleed into our everyday clothes, making us invisible to most people. We had way to much fun for the moment so we told the teacher which project we were doing this month. He asked what we were doing for the over all science project. We told him we had no idea, well I told him and Matthew just nodded along with what ever I said. He gave us another paper with ideas for the year long project.
When we sat back down, I noticed that Killi was back with the Scottish dude. It looked like Killi was pared with some guy who was sleeping. Then the Scottish dude was paired with Arthur who was busy talking to Alfred who was Jordanne partner, and she was doodling in her notebook. That meant that Killi and the Scottish guy weren't noticed when they came in late. Faith and the Japanese guy seemed to the only one working, but when I heard the subject matter I figured out that they were just having a serious talk about some anime. I seemed to be the only one of my friends to be getting anything done.
"So, what kind of animals do you like?" Matthew asked
"I like all kinds but ones that are poisonous." I said, which was true, basically. I didn't like giant rabid Rottweiler's either but who did?
"Well here it says for our year long project we can "adopt" and animal, and raise it through out this year as our project."
"Really? That would be cool. What animal are you thinking of?" I asked because he looked like he had an animal in mind.
"Well, my favorite animal is the polar bear, and my parents own a zoo-"
"Wait, your parents own a zoo?" I knew these people were rich but… a zoo…
"Yeah," he said it as if it was like it was nothing to him, and he wondered why I had even asked, "And I know that there is a polar bear that was just born last April and was brought here when it's mother died." he looked sad at that last statement but continued, "So what do you think?"
"I think that's an awesome idea!" a baby polar bear? How much cuter could you get?!
