June has been a mad busy month so far! ...thus my MIA-ness. I usually manage to keep up with reading my friend's list and commenting here and there, but I don't have time or motivation to write an entry for myself it seems. It's certainly not like I have nothing to write about... it's more that I have TOO MUCH to write about and don't have time ( Read more... )

Even though I steered my psychology degree towards animal behaviour as much as I could, I inevitably took a lot of human psychology courses too, and the "how and why" of cognition has become quite interesting to me. I like to do little experiments on people sometimes; one of my favourites is to see if I can initiate clapping in a group of people ( Read more... )

Today I finished my last university class ever! It was not bittersweet, as some might expect; it was just bitter, because I had to write an in-class final that I didn't have much time to study for -- what with a research paper due on Tuesday and having to work on my video project yesterday.

I am finished one more semester of school! And I don't think I bombed my finals! I win. Although I still try my best in school, my level of apathy (aka "Lemee out, lemee out!") resulted in absolutely zero anxiety towards the exams. I have never been so calm towards an exam worth 35% of my grade in my life ( Read more... )

I'm currently reading In Cold Blood, a novel for my criminal psychology class. I'm just past the 100 page mark and have about 250 to go, and then a book review to write. I'm having difficulty focusing on reading here at work (labs are not busy, as per usual on Thursday night), though, because you guys are posting so much neat stuff on LJ. So my ( Read more... )
