Journal Entry #3

What’s going on? I thought they told me I would have a test every day. I don’t really know what’s going to happen. Are they just late? No, that can’t be. Scientists are never late. I wonder what kind of stuff they’re cooking up for me. Surely they haven’t forgotten about me in here, I just got here! Oh well. I hope they call me up soon. I’m getting bored in here. At least I’m being fed.


Test #2

-test subject 34 opens the door.
-test subject 34 walks into the room.
-test subject 34 looks at materials given.
-test subject 34 is told to complete 6 basic mathematical equations.
-test subject 34 picks up a sharpened graphite pencil.
-test subject 34 takes an average of 3.5 seconds per problem.

Observations:Test Subject 34 was similarly slow to start as previously. Once he overcame his momentary pause, he proceeded to complete the problems in a swift manner. Perhaps he is not as neurologically decayed as we once thought.Still no conclusive evidence for any conclusions to be made.


Journal Entry #4

What just happened today? They skipped a day on my tests even though they told me that I would have one every day. Are they just messing around? Whatever. Today, they made me do basic math problems, like those sheets you would do in kindergarten. At the very end they had a multiple choice question asking what 9+10 was. It had an answer choice that said 21. Let me repeat that. It had an answer that said 21. Everyone knows that 9+10 is nineteen. Dear Lord this is weird.
