2a Post Assesment

Kyle just invited me to his birthday party and he is so cute!  Unfortunately, my parents are super strict, but I absolutely have to go to that party.  My frontal lobe helps me to form a plan as I make a rash decision, and decide to sneak out.

The sneaking out part isn’t hard. My adrenal gland was secreting hormones that started up my sympathetic nervous system. As my adrenaline rush kicked in, my heart started beating faster, and I started to sweat. The adrenaline pumping through my body made me feel invincible. I slowly snuck down the stairs as my senses were on red alert. I was so aware of the littlest noise, but somehow I managed to get out of the house without notice.

The party was amazing and the best part of the night! I flirted with Kyle all night. I had been so nervous because Kyle was so cute! My stomach had butterflies as my digestive system slowed down, and I started breathing faster. Luckily, my parasympathetic nervous system started to work, and I was able to calm down. Kyle and I had actual conversations instead of me gawking at his gorgeousness in shock and looking like a crazy person.

The part of the night that I had problems with was the sneaking back in part. I drove home, and as I parked, I saw a terrifying sight; a light on in my parent’s bedroom. As my occipital lobe processed the sight my optic nerves were sending to my visual cortex, I had another adrenaline rush as my fight-or-flight response kicked in as soon as I saw the light that signaled my demise. My other senses went into overdrive as I stared in shock at the single lighted window. My auditory cortex in my temporal lobe received the sounds of owls hooting and the cars speeding past me from my cochlea and eardrum, and I could smell the sensual flowers in my yard with the chemoreceptor’s in my nose. My semicircular canals had to fight to keep me balanced since I was suddenly dizzy with fear. My amygdala must have been in overdrive because I had never been more overwhelmed with fear...
