Psych stuff

Feb 27, 2006 18:42

The thing I like least about being a psychology major is the academic aspect of the field; as in, the heavy emphasis placed on research, testing, literature review, etc. I mean, I completely understand why it's there and why we need to learn it and everything, but I'm more about the in-the-field, seeing patients stuff. I have this test tomorrow for clinical psych and a lot of it is dealing with articles we've read, and there are going to be questions like, "How would Jones & Smith (2003) respond to the issue of..." and there are a lot of articles, and what's making it hard for me is that we have to know them by author rather than title. This is a consistent thing throughout the field, so I have to and will get used to it, but I just felt like complaining now. :P

And another line of complaining, as well as "Stupid things Heather has done": this morning I put on my khakis that I hadn't worn in a while and realized that when I cross my legs while wearing them, a little bit of leg pokes out, and I realized that said bit of leg needed to be shaved, but I had to leave for class in like two minutes, so I took my razor and shaved my lower legs. Dry. Owww, regret is happening right about now.

Okay, time for me to shut up and study.

life, psychology
