idea idea idea...
need an idea for my social psyc project.
I was talking to lex on skype the other day about this, and she told me something about how everyone at her school was talking about two girls who got drunk and hooked up at a party recently. I had an idea about this, but now I'm not sure what it is or what i would be measuring, because I immediately started thinking about biology instead of psychology. Aghhh.
But yeah, there is a lot going on there. I do have the social injustice component.
Attribution - they are less at fault because they were drunk. external attribution.
Something about how they feel more comfortable doing things when they are drunk ... or assumed to be drunk. Actually, Lex tells me that this is probably the primary reason most of her friends drink, or "drink", because they feel like they can then do things that they won't be held responsible for.
Now how do I measure that? Or what am I measuring?
I originally thought of doing something about intersex people but I never thought of a topic.
aghhh I wish I could pause my school life for a little while. I have a massive need to think and do art.
I feel like I sleep longer than everyone here. Is this bad? I thought that your brain would be impaired if you didn't sleep enough. Well, that is true, memory is impaired without enough sleep. But really, especially during exams, everyone doesn't sleep ... except me, and I worry, am I doing something wrong? Would I do better on my exams if I studied instead of slept? But when I sleep less, I fall asleep in class, unless that's because I'm not used to it. It's not like I go to bed at 7 or something, but I do sleep for about 8 or 6 hours usually. But how do these people who sleep for obscenely small amounts even learn anything? Do they learn anything?
