Count downs are truly fun are they not? 1, I can write them in a matter of minutes; 2, it provides a theme; 3, I can create theme's of the day and yet hold a continued overall theme of the segment; 4, they are just fun to do! So because I'm a man who loves his white space, this one's theme is simplicity.

DAY FOUR: Sunday, July 20, 2008
Today, we spend some time recovering from our busy Saturday travels. No events are scheduled in the early morning. You may wish to sleep-in, take a walk, or get a bite to eat.
o Sunday morning options…
o Sleep-in.
o Have breakfast/brunch at a neighborhood café or restaurant
o Mass at St-Hedwigskathedrale, Bebelplatz near Unter den Linden
o Sunday Afternoon
o City touring
o Topographie des Terrors, Checkpoint Charlie
o Holocaust Denkmal
o KaDeWe
This is a fairly free form day. There are any number of things we can do. We’ll talk more about this when we arrive in Germany.
DAY FIVE: Monday, July 21, 2008
Welcome to the Twenty-ninth International Congress in Psychology!
o We will awaken early, about 0600. Get ready and head over to the conference. Remember to bring your journal book. (for me a handy dandy moleskin pocket book that I have held with me everywhere I go to keep my thoughts...)
o We will gather in the hotel lobby at about 0715. We’ll need to take the U-Bahn (U2 Line) to the Congress Center. While Dr. H and Dr. D are already registered for the Congress, due to the complexity of registering multiple students, we will be registering each of you on site, early in the morning. Remember: BRING YOUR STUDENT ID CARDS to assure that you will receive the sizable student discount rate for attending the conference.
o Review the Congress agenda and select the programs you wish to attend! Remember, this agenda is already online at www.icp2008.de. Attend the programs you select and have fun!
o PLEASE REMEMBER: For each symposium, poster session, or lecture you attend, pick up a copy of the written outline of the program. Most presenters will have a written document or abstract about their program. This will document your attendance and help you with your research project.
o LUNCH is on your own. There are a number of restaurants in the local neighborhood or grab a bite at the Congress center.
o In the afternoon, consider taking in a poster session – you need five of these through the week, a symposium, or other event.
o TODAY’S CONTROVERSIAL DEBATE
Functional neuroimaging has already told us a lot about cognition: Yes or No?
Methods of functional neuroimaging are used in a steadily increasing number of scientific studies in psychology, the neurosciences, or economics. While these studies have, without doubt, helped develop our knowledge about brain functions, the issue addressed in this debate is to what extent they also have contributed to a better understanding of cognition.
Monday, 21 July, 15.00 – 16.30 h,
Hall 6
Moderator
Arno Villringer, Berlin Neuroimaging Center, Germany
Debaters
Max Coltheart, Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science, Sydney, Australia
Karl Friston, Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, London, United Kingdom
o Return to the hotel at your leisure. Remember, try to travel in a group or at least in twos.
o Monday Night: On your own! Do what you like. Take in a movie at the Sony Center (40 screens including an IMAX), several neighborhood restaurants, etc.
OK. after my experiences at the 20th Association for Psychological Science convention, this is a really weak demand. I attended 20 symposiums, stayed on site for literally 15 hours a day. I feel confident I will be able to hammer out the requirements (minus Professor Philip Zimbardo's: The Lucifer Effect; for more information about my interests in this professor return to my parent page.) Outside of Dr. Zimbardo, I am exceptionally excited to see Claude Steele again. His talk on social psychology at APS was amazing. I look forward to seeing him with just as much anticipation as I do Dr. Zimbardo. Another key swinger at this congress will be Dr. Albert Bandura; as in the BoBo Doll--or vicarious learning--psychologist. The instant I saw his name on the roster for attendance, I screamed like that prototypical little girl who just got that pink pony and the unicorn to boot!
One can not image the powerful minds that will be wondering the halls of the convention. Life-long psychologists, winners of the William James, Nobel, or other various internationally recognized honors. In any case, This prepares you for tomorrow. It is MY itinerary of events while attending--rather merely the abstracts

I'm glad to know that Dr. Bandura will be at the conference - I heard him speak a few times at different conferences and he's really fun and entertaining to listen to - and you'll learn something from the guy in the process!
Sounds like you're going to have a great time!

Oh dear, I truly hope to learn as much as possible. And tomorrows post with my abstracts should please you for the fall semester :D
