The End of the Road

This is it guys. Our last blog post going into our last week of Psychology. What a mundane regular extraordinary experience this has been. Despite some minor blips and lack of studying, I really enjoyed this class. Psychology is one of the most interesting subjects I've studied and I'm a bit sad that this class only lasts one semester. Anyhow, time to go on and evaluate this class.




What did you like about the class?

I liked the class content. The subject of psychology (as I said before) is very interesting. I also liked Ms. Halfen. I wasn't sure what I was expecting my Psych teacher to be like, but she exceeded my nonexistent standard. I really enjoyed learning from her because of her dynamic teaching style. It was refreshing.

What was your favorite activity or project?

Eh. Not really into projects and stuff. I could take 'em or leave 'em.

What didn't you like about the class?

Nothing really comes to mind, at least nothing that is the class' fault. I mean, I don't like studying and the class requires studying, but that's more of a personal flaw. I guess the only thing I don't like is that the class only lasts one semester. I would have loved more time to really soak in the information over the year.

What do you think I should leave out next year?

Do you have any suggestions or ideas for things I could do next year in AP Psych?

Maybe even more interactive stuff, if people can handle it. For example, the inversion glasses were really fun. It would have been really cool if we could poke at an actual human brain... But I'm weird so other people may not hop on board with that. Eh. I honestly can't think of anything negative that needs fixing right now. is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Also...what is the one thing you really need me to go over next week to review for the final???

I think going over disorders and brain stuff would be a good idea. 

Would you rather watch Solitary or Sybil?

Solitary mostly because I don't know what Sybil is and I'm too lazy to Google it. Just waaaaaaaaay too much effort would need to be expended.



I could add on to all I've said and make a big production of my final blogspot words, but I don't wanna. I'm sleepy now, so I think I'm done. Gonna miss this class and the awesome peeps in it.  :) 

Speaking of sleep, here's a random link to Psych Central referring to getting a good sleep... It has to do with Psychology soooo I guess it's relevant.

With this said I leave you all. Happy travels friends!

Test Your Memory!

Hey guys! So I already know that my memory is pretty terrible most of the time, but compounding the fact that I am both tired and sick... Well the results are interesting I guess. My first memory test involved Short Term Memory and pictures. I hate those tests so much. I didn't do too badly... I remembered nine out of the twenty pictures so I technically didn't pass (by standardized testing standards), but whatever. 

My second test was the fact memory test. I did that one three times and got 10 correct bits. Then 9 correct bits. Then 8 correct bits. I guess I just didn't feel like memorizing random people anymore. Anyhow, I think this reflects pretty well on how I actually operate. I tend to remember faces pretty well. Often I will see some random kid at Walmart or something and say "Oh yeah, I've seen them in the hallway." 

Then I took the "Common Cents" test in which I had to look at a bunch of pictures of what could be pennies and pick the one that is real. And I did it! Yay! I like money so... That makes sense. XD

I used to be a lot better at memorizing things, but I guess I stopped working out my brain muscles and kinda let them atrophy.

The Holiday Blog

Hello everyone! Merry happy joyful holiday season thing! So, at this time of year with this kind of prompt I think we all know what people are going to talk about. It's a time all about having fun, singing songs, and spreading joy around the world!

That's right everybody I'm gonna talk about....

TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY!

 

To be honest, Christmas is my favorite holiday... I just didn't want to do what everyone else did because I like to be hipster original. So, let's start off with some background information. Talk Like a Pirate Day happens every year on September 19, and though not many people know about or celebrate it, it's a fun little holiday. Now, how does some random internet thing tie in to Psychology? I'm so glad you asked. 

This holiday caters to the inborn need people have for adventure, fantasy, and hipsterness fun. It's a good way to change things up and just fool around with something past its time. Honestly, who doesn't like to pretend to be a pirate? And in contrast to other holidays, this has no religious implications to get people all riled up and stupidly offensive.With Christmas there's always that one guys who complains about the big, beautiful Christmas tree downtown because he and his anti-theist friends don't like religion. Who can be anti-pirate besides the British navy? Though my post may seem silly, mostly because it is, I genuinely enjoy this holiday because of the good clean fun that it provides. :)
