i just lost my contact down the drain because i was stupid and forgot to plug the sink. :(
i needed to get my eyes checked anyway though. but bummer.. right before a midterm. now i'm gonna be sleepy for a very long time.

About to go to bed (unconditioned stimulus) --> sleepy (unconditioned response)
about to go to bed (unconditioned stimulus) + wear glasses (conditioned stimulus) --> sleepy (unconditioned response)

this is where I am now:
wear glasses (conditioned stimulus) --> sleepy (conditioned response)

This is called conditioning. a form of learning. pavlov's dog with the salivating when it hears a tone should ring a bell. yup. i'm just like pavlov's dog. except pavlov's dog doesn't have a class in 7 hours.
good night all.
