I'm off for a pizza anyway. First non deep fried one I'll have since Chritsmass :ninja:
This morning I heard my bestest friend is going to study in Berlin next year. I know I should be happy for her, but all I am is: jealous, because I really want to study abroad and go to Berlin; sad, because I'll have to miss her; and afraid, because I think we'll get a little alienated from being so far away for so long. Bleh.
Stat test results!
We had an extra credit opportunity, because more or less…..the entire class bombed the test. Seriously. The class average was below 50. Our extra credit was to take two questions of our choice, redo those questions, and get credit for those questions if we got them right.
I got my test back last week. I got a 65. I did two questions of my choice.
I get the test back today. I successfully turned a 65 D to an 87 B.
A nightmare of a test too. Looking for my test, I stumbled upon several 30s and 40s. I found one who initially got a 9, and the grade upgraded to a 22.
Congratulations Insider. Glad to hear it. :)
Someone needs to kick my ass. I give you all permission. I probably did poorly on my economics test. I think the multiple choice turned out better than usual because I actually read some of the textbook, but the free response killed me. And what's worse is that the final exam next week will automatically bring grades down because it is a separate category or something.
I need a miracle inking pen. I doodle sketches in my planner. I told you (the F.P.) about how I drew those sketches back to back on accident and I don't want to erase it because it's past the rough sketch phase. I don't even know if it is possible to find a pen that will not show through thin paper. Any good brand names/types of ink pen that I can use?

well bad tests can always happen , , but it does indeed suck :(
Today one of my budgies managed to get back into the cage again all by himself. I'm so very proud of him.
I always knew he could do if if he wanted to, but now I have proof!
The lady was left alone on the cage, twittering confusedly (which is very rare because she's usually suspiciously silent). It was adorable to watch how he tried to get to her from below, through the cage's bars, to calm her down.
Spent most of my birthday today doing geochem homework (which was a bummer) but amused myself a little bit afterwards by playing dressup with this guy on my desk:
!
I think googly-eye nipples are a big improvement.
!
Also he seems to have gained a little friend awww lmao.
All in all a good waste of time and gum wrappers.
I have a macro economics assignment due Friday. I do NOT want to do a crummy ass poster, so I can either read an economics book and write a report on it, or I can do an analysis of any country's economy. Can anyone recommend a short, fairly easy book for me? Because the latter option involves research and I hope I don't have to go with that.
sorry BFF, can't help you out here. I banished econs from my life as soon as I passed my A's.
I finally woke up early today (7.45am). I just hope that this means my streak of oversleeping is coming to an end.
I became an uncle today. Newborn babies are kind of creepy to be honest.
I actually had an amazing day/days… Was talking to this girl I met online and we are going out on Saturday :D I came up with going to the Aquarium and then she came up with cheesesteaks afterwards in Philly. Should be pretty awesome!
She was a little disappointed when I told her I couldn't find a stormtrooper helmet to wear when I picked her up... I might have to make that happen still though. It would be pretty hilarious no?
explination for that is that when we first started talking I mentioned that I wanted a Stormtrooper helmet to take awesome pictures with, and she told me to stop stealing her ideas lol.
Now time to be nervous! :D

At first, they always are. And I have two nieces and one nephew.

He didn't look too bad after he was cleaned, but he was so soft I was afraid I'd injure him. Look forward to seeing it grow though.

Holy fuck.
How serious is it ?
It's been one of those days when you feel like several themes have been recurring through various events throughout the day. Of course, it could have been my own mind noticing certain aspects of the day that were more salient to me due to my morning, but… eh. whatever, not the point. /shrug
hidden for length, since you probably wouldn't want to read through the whole thing (Yes Kenny-boy, this is even longer.)
[hide]Due to some stuff I posted about in the Confessions thread, I started the day off with a rather heavy mood that just wouldn't go away. What bothered me a lot, besides the actual event itself, was the fact that I wasn't able to speak up when I so badly wanted to. The reason for this was that I knew that I was emotional, and that would show in the way I spoke - not that I would cry, but it's easy to tell when I'm emotionally involved in something. And I was afraid of these emotions, because I've always felt like showing that your emotions makes your argument less believable - not that it's less legitimate per se, but I felt like it would make people doubt the logic behind my argument, which is what I'd want them to focus on. So I tried waiting, until I knew I would be able to speak up without being emotional and ending up attacking the other person/people. And of course, by the time I wanted to speak up (and other people had stopped talking), the presenter had moved on to the next question (she seemed like she was in a hurry during much of the presentation, which prevented me from speaking up several times). I figured there was probably a time limit, and the teacher wrapped up with some of the points I had wanted to bring up, so I told myself to be satisfied with that. Still, I really wanted to speak up. And I felt annoyed that my emotions had stopped me from doing so. I don't hate my feelings, because I acknowledge that they are important and that they drive me to love and do the things that I do. But I've been needing to control them a lot, and that sometimes hinders me from saying everything I want to - for very real reasons, like the fact that I'm likely to end up insulting everyone and becoming public enemy #1 if I don't keep them in check.
After that lesson, I went to meet a friend of mine, and shared some of these things with him. He used to be a debater, and he shared with me how he argues things he feels strongly for, but while keeping his emotions close to him, close to his heart, so that it doesn't show in his words, and he can argue well using logic and facts. And that's how he does well. And… I guess that's what I need to do? :/
Later during the day, I was in a language psych class, and we watched a video about children with language developmental problems, and the situation with their families and themselves. This module has been one that I've been struggling with a lot the entire semester, because it's very technical and the learning curve is extremely steep. But this video gave me a different perspective on the subject (even though I still struggle with it academically). It presented the stories of the children themselves, and how they felt towards their own difficulties - the anxiety, the stigma, their frustration towards not being able to do as well as other children in reading and spelling, etc. One mother talked about how she would find her daughter just screaming and crying in her room, because she felt 'thick and stupid', and how she would be found staying up till midnight to try to read a book. And that struck me a lot, because I feel like there's a lot of discussion about difficulties that people face due to various problems (and, as I mentioned in the confessions thread, the supposed lack or questionability of these difficulties), but it sometimes feels like in this study itself, we rarely pay attention to how these people themselves feel, if/when they realise that they're different and that they have a disorder. And several of the children and their parents expressed how much relief they felt when they realised that their difficulties had a reason, had a cause, an explanation; that it wasn't their fault. And that struck me really, really hard, because I linked it back to what people had said earlier in the morning, and I felt even more strongly about my opinions. Ignoring someone's impairments and deficits isn't going to make them better. It might even make them feel worse. (And this kind of made me feel a little more annoyed that I hadn't spoken up XD)
In my third and final lesson of the day, this kind of came up again, in one little anecdote that our lecturer told us. He was talking about cross-cultural differences, and 'quoted' this conversation which supposedly took place between James Baker and several Iraqi officials, one of whom was Hussein's half-brother. Baker spoke in the calm, diplomatic tone of most Western diplomats, and told them that if they did not withdraw Iraqi forces from Kuwait, the US would take action. Hussein's half-brother returned and told Hussein that the US was weak and half-hearted, and was not serious about taking any action (--> didn't withdraw forces --> asdsafdfhgier ((my History is very rusty)) --> Operation Desert Storm). I suppose my lecturer meant to imply that the cross-cultural differences between views of emotion etc. resulted in that misunderstanding (no I'm not saying this was the only factor or even a direct trigger). And yeah, that reminded me of the idea of controlling your emotions. ... /sigh[/hide]
TL;DR I need to be less emotional, at least outwardly.
And get well soon, Fire-Fist!

tons of shit
I know you've already talked to a friend about how to debate and keep your emotions in check and what have you but I figured I may as well share with you how I debate as well since, you being a psych major, you'd probably appreciate this method more. Right off the bat, if you don't understand entirely why the other side believes in the shit they believe in, you can't win the debate no matter what kind of logic you throw out. And me, personally, I'm actually very interested in how the people around me think, even if it's in opposition to my beliefs.
To me, debating is more about reaching a goal and advancing the knowledge of both parties rather than a dick measuring contest where, "Yippee! I won!" If nothing was accomplished by the end of the debate, if no new perspective was gathered, that's a failure. Even if you're arguing against something entirely inane and your goal is to get them to stop thinking with such an inane mindset, you should still seek to understand why it is they think that way and construct your argument in such a way that it covers not only your beliefs in a logical way but would also satisfy their beliefs in a logical way (convincing them, based on their mindset, why your beliefs are right and their's are wrong).
I naturally gather perspective by thinking three moves ahead which is easily done when you think about what kind of response you'll receive from whatever it is you're about to say, and then thinking of a response to that response prior to you even making that initial statement (did you follow that)? By seeking to get into your opponents' minds you're allowing yourself to debate from both sides rather than from one angle. By this, you should seek to immerse yourself into the debate and release your own beliefs, maintaining an open mind throughout.
Not that I'm saying you should drop your beliefs or even that if you're beat in a debate that necessarily disproves your beliefs, but rather if you're constantly hung up on them then you won't be able to see your opponent's view and you'll ultimately accomplish nothing.

Had the same shit one year ago. Don't let it get to you psychologically (I had hallucinations and a bad panic attack). It can be so damn frustrating especially since time seems to go 10 times slower and it doesn't seem to end or get better at first.
Oh, and nothing is worse than the sleep. I hope you have at least a few restful nights.
I hope you're at least not forced to go five times a night.
Went through two beds like that when I had salmonela or some shit like that. Six days of constant crapping,it felt like shitting razors.
Seeing some snow flurries right now here in Connecticut, but I highly doubt I'll have a snow day.
It's snowing right now. Somewhat big flakes too. I think we're supposed to get four-five inches?
Man Spring, stop being such a pussy.
Tired waiting of the last parts I ordered for my mortar canon.
This thing needs to be operational within the next 7 days!

Same here! It rained and melted a lot of snow, but then it started to snow again. Winter is like the unwelcome guest at a party who insists on staying long after it ended, and all the while, the bastard is eating more of your food and creating a bigger mess in the house.

Well, because when you get shot by him and you try to shoot HIM with 1000 of other people but all he does is bleeding a bit, standing up again and shoot once more and you see more of your beloved people die and the blood spreads everywhere… it's not so lol worthy, you know.

Woah, lighten up, no reason to be such an uptight prick.
He looks like a fucking joke and there is nothing wrong with calling him out on that.
And please, talking about what is lolworthy and what isn't is just being fucking hypocrite for us AP folks…
for fucks sake, we make fun of rape and compare dictators to children toon figures, that is something many people could also regard as tasteless.
