I'm so glad this day is ovvvvvver!
First the portfolio, then the socio test, wrel test & midterms, and to top it all of, the psychology test. of course, it had to be the one to do with the lecture i missed when i was in camp.
No matter, i said no regrets right? :)
So i know i already related this to KY today, complete with banging fists and all, but just to get it out of my head... and for me to laugh at when i reread this months later.
So we pass up our portfolio on monday right?
And somehow... i managed to escape presenting.
Nat was the last one to present; her folio was on top of mine. Which means that i was supposed to be next la.
Now, the thing about these portfolios is that well.
Everyone seems to have valid reasons why they chose every colour, every little symbol that appeared anywhere on their pages.
Me, i just did what i wanted to do. No reason involved.
So i'm freaked, cuz miss anna's gonna ask.
Going into class today, still had no idea what i was gonna talk about, but i just wanted to get it over with ya know?
*Nat said i'm good at spewing out crap.... thanks. o.O lol*
So i sit there and watch as everyone presents...
And then before i know it class is over, and guess who's portfolio was on top of the pile again, and would have gone next if time wasn't up?
Yeah. Me.
So i walk out of the class all ><.
And then discover that we were actually locked out of the PBX. Which the Jo's were sitting in and watching. Another o.O moment.
Let's go back to yesterday.
So i spent the night before cramming for wrel right...
And i'm thinking okay, i can't remember everything, but at least i remember some, right?
So half an hour before socio starts, i pick up my socio notes and start cramming for the test.
And the socio test actually goes ok, but after doing the 50 questions and then marking them, i walk out of the class with my head full of socialization. And roles. And statuses. And Freud. And the whatnot theories.
What's the Eightfold Path again?
So i completely freak, cuz whatever i've read just flew out of my head.
Needless to say, the test did not go well. Dukkha. That, i remember. ><
So next up was psychology, the memory stuff i had no clue about.
Reading and mindlessly underlining stuff, when i discover this.
Retroactive Interference.
-Type of interference in which information that is learned later interferes with information that was learned earlier.
The example they gave in the book?
Ahem.
Let's say you have to take two tests in a day. (the ex they gave was psyc and socio) and apparently. in that type of interference, what you learn later overrides what you studied before. in other words, according to the book, you'll probably have difficulty remembering what you studied for the earlier subject if you have the 2 tests.
Wow. thanks. o.O
So i went through that exact scenario the day before, and i end up studying it the next day for another test, about the topic i missed and knew nothing about.
Good stuff.
So after talking to KY, the end of the conversation was basically something like 'Whoa. who writes your scripts?'
And i DO know the answer.
You have to admit, we have one creative God. :)
And i'm sorry for being a complete basket case last week, btw.
I don't know what got into me.
I'm still trying to figure out a couple of things, but all i'm succeeding in doing is confusing myself.
Jo anna banana ho. i need chocolate therapy. :)
I know who i need to talk to in situations like this.
Pick.... up.... your.... phone! :)
