  Today, I tried something that I had never done before, meditation. Along with Mickey Feeney, who was a sort of 'coach' to me, I embarked a very interesting mental experience. At first it was very hard to dismiss my thoughts, for things were happening all around me (In the MPR) but as I calmed down, something pretty cool occurred. I entered a sleepy trance, while still being completely conscious of what was happening around me. It was like I was listening to a recorded video, while not actually being part of it. Yes, it was strange, but when I opened my eyes some twenty minutes later, I felt refreshed, and renewed, like I had just woken from a nice dream. Definitely give it a try if you have the time.
