So, school again.

Great.

I could barely get to sleep last night because I had so many ideas for reviews bouncing around in my head. And I'm pretty sure I dreamt about tgwtg.com too, which is kind of lame. But anyway, I'm considering doing a review of Frankenstein (the novel), which I didn't like very much despite all its fame.

School is crippling. Blah blah blah. Relationship paranoia. I think I've sincerely lost sight of what I'm aiming towards in the midst of IB. It doesn't seem like anything in the future is attainable, or indeed, enjoyable? I just feel like this will progress onwards ad infinitum. Strange how a school course can cripple you so badly. Surely this ( Read more... )

Since I had to write this as part of CAS, I thought it might be of interest. Diary "entries"/summaries of 4 philosoc sessions.

( Topic 1: the soul, 2: Religious conversion, 3: Insanity and Philosophy, 4: Beauty and truth. )

Lots of work today, including standing in the rain measuring things and then having a fit over the measurements not working out right when I checked them later. But we're making good progress and should easily be done by tomorrow ( Read more... )

Finished EE! wooo...

Maths test on friday. ohgod. Swimming gala on wednesday. ohgod. Handed personal statement to ms burnett, though, so hopefully should get some feedback, though i already DETEST the thing for sucking up so much of my time and sounding rubbish anyway ( Read more... )

So, I went to this careers evening thing, and it turned out to be rather awesomer than expected. First thing I notice as I walk in: no lecture-style set up, no presentations, just people sitting at tables for chats. Second thing I notice: Nothing at all psychology (or english) related ( Read more... )

I had psych this morning. I got to nerd-squee for most of it - now that we've moved onto abnormal psychology I'm much more interested (not that I wasn't quite interested before). Mr S decided I needed to know about an interesting study regarding PET scans of murderers' brains, so that was cool. Yay for random shit none of the other students care ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm going through that stage that every 14 yr old boy goes through where all that can be thought about is sex and/or porn. Except 3 years late. And decidedly unhelpful to my general work/school. Though, I think this is also doing something good for me in a sort of reducing my general freak-out-ness about the possibility of me having sex ( Read more... )

actually had a nice day. I blame alexdeorange and the fact that I can FINALLY read "Psychology and the Occult" by Jung <3 it's fascinating. Mr S was very intrigued and (I think) impressed, though he failed to help translate any of the confusing super-pretentious-psychology-terms ( Read more... )

( blah blah blah its boring if you don't care about my life and how awesome i am )
