Meeting Lil Sebastian

I have been very excited about taking Learning because of the Rat Lab. Before I took Learning, I had a typical impression of rats. I initially thought about rats as dirty and disease spreading rodents.  Considering I have been interested in Psychology since high school I have known about lab rats before, so I didn't necessarily have a bad impression about these specific types of rats.  I would definitely say after meeting and holding my rat, Lil Sebastian, that my general impression of rats has changed.  Lil Sebastian got her name from the mini horse from one of my favorite television shows, Parks and Recreation!  Now when I think about rats generally, I think of Lil Sebastian and how clean she is.  They didn't necessarily seem harmful to me before Learning, but now they simply seem innocent and curious. I do not know what my partner, Chloe, and I will try to shape Lil Sebastian to do yet, but I am definitely looking forward to the experience.  Here's a picture of me holding Lil Sebastian!
