LOL GUYS, I TOTES DIDN'T HAVE YOGA TODAY. It doesn't start until the end of September. There were like 10 of us sitting outside the room for 15 minutes, bitching about how much our teacher sucked for not be there. And then when we went to the desk to bitch, the woman looked it up and told us it doesn't start for another month. LOLOL we died. So no ( Read more... )

i love psychology in general. it's all so INTERESTING to me, and because it's interesting, it's also easy. stuff just sinks in, it's great. THAT ASSIGNMENT SOUNDS SO AWESOME!!! We're going to do something along those lines but I don't know if it'll be from ~popular media~. She just said she'll post clips and we'll have to write papers on them and what we think is wrong with them based on this this and this, idk yet.

I did that in high school too!! I wrote letters to my four favorites, including For Good lyrics, and brought them around to them. I have no problem at all letting amazing people know they're amazing and that I respect them. It's like this burning inner need I have or something.

LOGIC IS FUCKING AMAZING. The best way I can describe it is like, word math? Kind of? I think I love it because I love math and I also love language/linguistics/grammar. What you do is basically turn sentences into symbols in order to spot patterns and argue effectively. I don't know. It's a math class but it's listed in philosophy so more than anything, it provides structure to thoughts, kind of. Does that help? I wish I could do it better justice. Here, this is what our website says:
Critical Thinking
→ Gather factual information and apply it to a given problem in a manner that is relevant, clear, comprehensive, and conscious of possible bias in the information selected.
→ Imagine and seek out a variety of possible goals, assumptions, interpretations, or perspectives which can give alternative meanings or solutions to given situations or problems.
→ Analyze the logical connections among the facts, goals, and implicit assumptions relevant to a problem or claim; generate and evaluate implications that follow from them.
→ Recognize and articulate the value assumptions which underlie and affect decisions, interpretations, analyses, and evaluations made by ourselves and others.

Mathematical/Logical Reasoning
→ Illustrate historical and contemporary applications of mathematical/logical systems.
→ Clearly express mathematical/logical ideas in writing.
→ Explain what constitutes a valid mathematical/logical argument(proof).
→ Apply higher-order problem-solving and/or modeling strategies.

That song is SO important to me, fuck. ♥ (also, late comment is late, sorry! I'm just cleaning out my inbox) Everything you wrote here is so beautiful!!

Oh it is SO awesome, and there's lots of math! It was such a pleasant surprise! And actually I didn't really have any papers/essays in that class, and I really only did half of the homework. I straight up asked him if he'd hold it against me if I didn't do the homework as long as I knew what I was doing, and he said no. So I didn't do much. But if I did it'd be MORE than okay with me and I'd love to share it. I'll have a look at my materials from that class and see if I can find SOMETHING interesting to share so you can kind of see what's up! And it's so sweet of you to care about something if only for the fact that I care about it so much. That makes you such a good friend and an amazing individual. So thank you for that. ♥
