Your brain, like all the other parts of you, needs exercise to function well. Here are some alternatives to zoning out:

1. Picture your house. Draw a mental map of all the rooms. Now try to rearrange the rooms so that your house is completely different.
2. Think about how many windows there are in your house. How many doors? How many chairs? Closets?
3. Recite tongue-twisters.
4. Read a magazine article and try to work three facts you have learned into your conversation that day.
5. Think up a new ending for your favorite book or movie.
6. Write down a word that has more than 15 letters and see how many smaller words you can make from it.
7. Memorize a poem.
8. Make a copy of a crossword puzzle. Work on one copy of it and time yourself. When you're done, try to fill in the second copy in half the time.
9. Read your computer instruction manual and teach yourself to do something new without the computer in front of you.
10. List 5 statements that support something you really believe in, like freedom of speech. Now come up with 5 arguments against the thing you believe in.

If you have any others, feel free to share them:D

I broke my glasses today:cry: We were playing soccer in gym and this one boy, Ian, kicked the ball really hard. The ball bounced off the bleachers and hit me in the side of the face; knocking my glasses off and causing me to stumble.

I was alright, but my glasses weren't. The nose piece got pushed into my nose and was bent so that it touched the lens. The frame was also bent, so my glasses wouldn't fit on my face properly:cry:

I got them fixed though. I went to my eye doctor and they rebent them back into place:) My only injury is a small bruise on my nose where my nose piece hit. I'm gonna kill Ian tomorrow!!!:evil:

Oh! I forgot to say something:lol: The nurse came to gym to check us all for scoliosis again today:roll: When it was time for the boys to get checked, she told them all to take off their shirts in the middle of the gym!!!:shock::lol::D You would not believe how muscular those boys are!:D It certainly was a treat for my eyes:lol:
