You'd think that by fourth year university, I'd have learned that instead of procrastinating an entire night, I  can just start my work, finish it within two hours, and go to bed at a reasonable time. Instead, here I am. It's almost1:30am, and only a limited attempt to be productive has been made. Maybe it's because I feel awesome knowing that I am ( Read more... )

I spent an entire class today trying to understand the difference between concrete and formal operations according to Piaget (or Ken Johns, depending how you look at it). I'm not quite sure if even after a full lecture, the division was clear. It seems to me that much of what we consider abstract thought can only be presented or explained in ( Read more... )

School's started. It's sickening how fast I slip back into routine and complacency. I'm really excited about this year, and find all my classes interesting. I have school friends.

I apologize in advance if I'm unusually vague. This is not entirely my story to tell, but I've become immersed in it and I need to get it off my chest ( Read more... )

I'm not a morning person. That being said, I woke up to meet Marc for breakfast this morning before he headed off to work. It was cute in that "we're getting old" kind of way. I headed to the Millenium Library an wandered around a bit. Took out a few books. Then I did some more wandering, and ended up at school. Peeked into the Psych lounge and ( Read more... )

Things that I dislike about life right now: really bad sunburn, being sick, not enough sleep, lots of work and no appreciation, lack of money ( Read more... )
