Worcester = "wooster"

Right now I'm sitting in Worcester, MA typing on Gina's laptop. I'm a regional meeting for a pharmacy organization that I'm in. It isn't as interesting as I thought it would be, but it's been awesome hanging out with Gina (my friend from OSU) and catching up. We were really bad and played hooky for most of the day, but it still seemed long.

There was an entertainer who was an illusionist/mesmerist (I think that's the term) who was actually really good, if not extremely rude and obnoxious. I would love to know how he did some of the stuff, because I have no idea how he possibly could guess. For instance, he told all of us to think of a shape. After we did that he told us to think of another shape inside the first shape. Then he pointed to a girl and said that she hadn't thought of any of the shapes, so he called her up (and she seemed genuine, since we're all pharmacy students) and he stood behind her and drew a tree and then drew two lines coming down with a line connecting it. Then he had the girl draw the image she had thought of, and she drew a tree with a swing in the exact same way that he had drawn it (same squiggles for leaves, swing on the same side, same tree shape). Somehow he must have planted some subconscious thought in her head or something, but it was still pretty cool.

We have to be there at 8:30 tomorrow, but then it's over around noon. Ah, then comes homework time. And buying boots, since it snowed and there is now brown slush everywhere. The trees and buildings are really pretty though.
