WAH!
First time I'd say this outright: thank goodness for webCT. @__@
was studying for Psych exam only to find out that it's not for TODAY, but NEXT CLASS!! O_O the only exam today would be the Ethics one, and handing that paper in for Nutrition! The Nutrition exam I thought that would happen? not happening until finals apparently. *whew*. I feel abit better now XD.
I realize I am gona do poorly on Ethics because I frankly don't care about what we are learning. so far, at least. The more interesting topics (i feel) are all in the second half of the course: Justice, War, Death Penalty... etc. Either way, (don't care if this makes me sound creepy or anything) it fits well with Psych class: we will be dealing with that kinda stuff later on. Stanford prison experiment, along with the Milford? dang, I only heard about this today and manage to forget it... the electro shock one to test after Holocaust @_@ was cool! I guess I'm just pessimistic in human nature haha. It's hard to believe in the good of humanity when you take a look around, ne? True, small acts of kindness is nice but... gah. It's more like hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Ima just gona leave it at that. Too hard to explain otherwise. X__x
anyhow, I just get really riled up after reading theories. I HATE remembering things I dislike/don't exactly agree with. That just about sums up everything we've covered so far. Or, Maybe it's the fact that... discussions in THIS class got me nowhere. professor does NOT lecture, but assigns readings to be discussed in class. This class contains people who don't give a fuck about international student's perspective and makes me wana shoot myself cuz when I have stuff to say I never get called on; when I GET called on, by then, the topic have SHIFTED. it sucks. I don't learn things that way: I am not an audio learner! that's just about the only way I DON'T learn by! (hey, 10 years in Acad. Support and ESL from lower school to even my last year of High School don't teach ya much, but at least they test us for Personality/what suited career paths one should take or LEARNING skills.)
I know I should be studying at this point, but I'm honestly sick and tired of it. I reread some articles in hopes that it would stick (why are people's names so hard to remember!? can't even pronounce half of it!) and am studying for the 60 points at the end. It may not be much, but I'm banking on getting those points to pass the exam. don't care if I get a D at this point: just pass the freaking course would be good.
Guess this semester's classes are not as good as I have hoped. well, more like I'm trying to get the boring stuff outta my way, therefore taking boring stuff that makes me wana gorge my eyes out with a spoon. oh wait! the class I expected to be worst at? PR? I'm actually doing good at! the class i thought would be most fun? Ethics. gah, I really need to take better educated guesses. Psych is a great class; I'm actually honestly interested in learning what Prof. Fox gotta offer. Nutrition is... could be worst, but for now, I really don't care if I eat too much carbohydrates for me to burn off, of how Vitamin B12 is different from Vitamin A etc. Still, At least the professor is NICE. Human. Ethics and Justice class: the guy is worst the freakin Tosen from BLEACH, I swear!
Just you wait, Tosen! I will set your hair on fire someday! it will make me feel better, at least!! >O< we are not all baby shuuheis that you can corrupt into believing your 'justice/ethics'!!! GAH! it's hard to sit still in class to listen to Professor Tosen gripe about how certain theories, and when someone drops a counter argument, change the subject!?
ok. gona get back to rereading stuff now. hopefully will feel better after written exam to study for Psych exam. Gotta mention how much I FREAKING HATE group projects. so far? Nutrition, and PR have assigned group projects as the final thing. joy.
