hello

woosh.had the most delicious dinner today at Subway.the guy gave us sucha HUGE amount of fillings and veggies dat the bread couldn't close.haha! and we ate with our hands with the sauce dripping down our fingers and palms and our lips and cheeks were smeared with it as well.the meatballs wedged between was simply heavenly.it was a viciously messy meal but it was simply heavenly.took some pics of the hearty meal but SOB i can't post it up cuz my com is still down and im using my mum's lappie. X)

psychology's got a heavey content.lots of reading to do.but it's interesting.we're learning on the main areas namely:

Social psychology-social influences, conformity and obediance
Abnormal psychology-disorders (depression,schizophrenia etc) and treatments
Developmental psychology-developent,intelligence and personality
Biological/Physiological psychology-motivation,emotion and stress

and

Cognitive psychology-learning and memory

i felt rather chimified when i see all these.and the content is oso chimified.for example today we learned abt dis thing called Correlation.it's a relationship between 2 variables which is examined to determine whether dey are associated or correlated.chimed? example: there is a link between the temperature of the room and student's performance during the exams.the lower the temperature, the better the student's performance.dis is called Negative Correlation where one factor goes up and one factor goes down.there is oso Positive Correlation,where both factors go up.example, the more hours u study,the better ur results will be. (dis can so have a negative correlation:the more hours u study,the less time for play). lastly there is a also Zero Correlation,where there is no link of the things mentioned in a statement.example:how many hours u study vs your height.

still chimed?

nvm.i might b typing rubbish for all u noe.LOL.

in psycho tutorial today, we discussed abt teen suicide and teen pregnancy.lyk..wads the cause of it, wad can b done, wad are the effects/consequences.example:teen pregnancy happens because teens are curious abt sex due to media influence(just one of the factors we talked abt).and teen suicide could b a cuz of depression due to problems in the family,or stress from sch,or morphic problems lyk "i dun lyk the fact dat im fat" then dey commit suicide...and so on an so forth.

so,psychology is such a wordy subject i felt lyk i am learning history or something lyk dat all over again.

ahah.heavy contents aside, dis week for animation class we learned how to use macromedia flash.woo..at first i was so lost i was ready to burst into tears..i couldn't get wad the lecturer was teaching!! but after class i stayed back and experimented for awhile more and i got the hang of it and i was so happy.lol.and i made dis simple moving object (a cat's head which i drew using macromedia flash) and i felt less stressed. :)

well..dats all for now.i am sleepy!!
