Superhero Smiley Beater!

{ cause dopamine makes you like high happy so when you're happy you smile a lot right? and the medulla oblongata controls the heart and the heart beats right? so, heh.. pls laugh :') }
So, my birthday is on February 17. I received the Medulla Oblongata and dopamine.
The Medulla Oblongata is the lowest part of the brainstem and controls the heart and lungs and also connects to the spinal cord.
Dopamine is a drug that makes you feel high and euphoric.
Background story:
Smiley Beater grew up in the city of Saigon, Vietnam. During the Vietnam war, Smiley Beater was a little baby who unfortunately got hit by a grenade. Everyone thought she died right then and there but that was not true. She survived this close to a fatal incident by having a special gift of a bright smile that would blind everyone. She now has this special ability to attack evil villains and eliminate an opponent if she smiles at them with all her teeth showing (a beautiful smile saves the day).

- With dopamine, Smiley Beater eliminates evil villains with a bright smile
- With the control of her heartbeat, she can charge their heart with 1 zillion Voltz and BAMN they are dead.
Don't let the smile fool you if you're a bad guy, this smiley Beater is
                                                 a dangerous woman :)

WEEK 2: m e m o r y t e s t s

MEMORY TEST!


The first test I took the was the "memory for faces" one.

I surprisingly got 8/10 correct!
I think this test was valid because you would need a strong memory to be able to put all the same pieces of the face starting from a blank screen back together.
This one was a little difficult for me because I kept forgetting about the chin and which eye was on the left or right.

Second memory test 

For this test, I had a strategy that I would make a story to remember all these objects. Therefore, my story was, " the butterfly flew into the house that had a lock on it, as the lock opened an apple fell down which smashed the computer which then spun the globe breaking the guitar. Unable to hear the clock because of how loud it was the butterfly cut off the guitar strings and sat on the chair writing a letter about how much the butterfly loved ice cream".. the weird yet fascinating story continues... Overall I got 12/20 correct for this.

Third memory test 

This was a problem-solving skills test. After completing it, I got a score of 48, I was in the range of "hit-and-miss." I agree with this because it says "You understand what you should do... however you don't always follow that process." This explains my second guessing on literally every single test I've taken in my life. I have the first choice, I bubble that in, then last minute I change my answer. I have a huge problem with this.
