Are you writing any papers/conducting any research for your classes (at either the undergrad or graduate level)? If so, what is your topic...have you learned anything surprising?
I have to write a 10 pager for my cognitive psychology class...so I chose the topic of cognitive remediation in schizophrenia. The results of the research are about what I expected...that researchers are guardedly optimistic about cog rehab for cognitive deficit in schizophrenia. The whole topic gave me a cool idea though- I've seen the cog rehab programs and most of the protocols are kind of boring...e.g. clicking on squares to improve your reaction time, memorizing lists of words. My sister is a 3d animator/computer game designer so I thought that once (and if) I get into grad school, we could work on developing a more interesting, dynamic cognitive rehab protocol in the form of a computer game or video game...dunno if it would work, but I thought it was a cool idea. There are already some mainstream games designed to improve cognition, but to be honest none of them are that great.
