Imprinting, Foraging, Mating - oh my!

So I am currently taking AP Biology, and for homework our assignment this week was to go through a 66 slide PowerPoint and take notes! On everything. The cool thing about this is that it makes more sense than reading the actual chapter from the book, and that my teacher has added links to videos and articles that are relevant to what we're learning. It's actually REALLY COOL! This week we are focusing on Behavior. All types of animal behavior (which is why our summer homework was to watch squirrels). And I just finished taking my notes, and I might seem like a nerd for posting this stuff, but it's actually pretty amazing (and cute and funny). All of this is making me think twice about animal behaviors, human behaviors, and just being more observant, period. It also makes me wish i took AP Psychology.
