Differences in Thought processes
Boy it's been a while since I've posted here. I just need to write about what happened yesterday that really amazed me and just made me realize just how vastly different my partner and I are...even in our thought process. I was simply relating a story I had heard in my psychology class and she got bent out of shape because of the teacher saying she didn't want to get her license due to seeing what she's seen in the psychology profession. I said I really didn't care about the reasons why the teacher chose not to get her license as it was not my business and it was the teacher's choice...she probably had more reasons than just the story she shared with the class. My partner equated it with her going through the police academy and not getting her badge because the academy said she had to shoot people and she refused. I just thought it was really irrelevant. She somehow thought I was agreeing with the teacher's reason for not getting her license which was not the point of my story at all. I was just really amazed that she would get bent out of shape simply because of a stupid story -- it just made me realize that she'll get bent out of shape about certain people because of my connection with them even though I'm not even personally involved with the teacher, I don't even talk to her outside of class nor email her unless it's related to class. The issue is that I met her last spring -- big deal. Her thought process is so different from mine and I'm really understanding it more -- the more I get into this psychology class. At least the class is benefiting me :-) That's my thought for today....plenty more where that came from, LOL.
