First Day Back!!
It is so nice not having to worry about the walk. Last week was just overwhelming and believe it or not, I am glad to just be back doing homework. Homework is so monotonous that it doesn't require any thinking... I love it!
So last week in my clinical psych class the lecture was about Frued. I thoroughly enjoy Frued. I think it is fantastic to look at our actions as having instinctual, animalistic urges. Not saying that this is the only thing driving us but it is makes sense when you think about it. We go to school in order to have success in our lives, to provide for a future. Survival. We go out and meet others in order to socialize and build a community. And my personal favorite is our innate drives towards members of the opposite sex (or in some cases the same sex or both sexes). Anyway I have learned about Frued pretty much every year since junior year in high school. For some reason though this lecture hit me a little differently. In discussing the id, the ego, and the superego I got to thinking about myself. I realized that I tend to act on the impulses of my superego, or basically your conscience. Its great in some instances because I feel as though I am on totally on my way to accomplishing my goals. However my id is just screaming for some attention. You know how it is in the movies, when it seems that everyone just acts on their impulses and never thinks twice about it. Well, I do think twice and it sucks major monkey balls.
