Around 40 pages of writing deserves an extra 10 minute break
*hands fall off*
I discovered another thing today that's really quite evident but was pleasing and intriguing to me at the time today, and that is that... oh, never mind. It has to do with arms and hands and fingers and controlness. It's kind of silly, but I was very tired when I realised it. Actually, that sums me up right now - "very tired." I can't wait for tomorrow, at around 12.30 pm. Yep. That'll be nice. Not straight after the exam, because immediately after is always kind of stressful, and filled with too many anxious thoughts. Oh.
Psych People
Would you say that the maladaptive behaviours of people with anxiety disorders are positively or negatively reinforced? I know they're reinforced, but I can't figure out if positively is correct, because isn't it reinforcing the behaviour by taking away the stressor? Hm. It probably is negative reinforcement.
I'm feeling pretty confident about the psych exam. I pretty much know the answer to all of the essay questions now, and so I'm going to pass the exam regardless of the question. And I figure that all the extra knowledge will be useful in the multi choice. Although, unlike last semester, I can't find my multi choice sheets from the labs so I can't make a little mini-exam for myself. Sigh. Oh well, I'm sure it doesn't really matter. I hope the essay questions are the ones on Milgram and Asche and... hmm, yeah, the Schizophrenia one. Yep. That'd be well sweet. Hey, luck was on my side for the last psych exam - the two questions I could answer best were two of the three in the exam, and the one I didn't pick wasn't one I couldn't answer but just my least favourite - so maybe that'll happen again.
Hm. Went to Gavin's on Friday night, and was back here by 10am. Best break-from-study ever.
Think I will try out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
halffling's LJ template after exams. No, it's not the uber-awesome one she has on her account currently (Look at it now), but it looks very... customisable. :)
Wow, when all you're doing is updating LJ, 10 minutes seems to go pretty slowly.
Bonnie's almost totally deaf :( I think we should take her to the vet and see if maybe she has doggy ear wax (bleargh) or something, and see if that'll help her hear better. It's not causing her pain or anything, aside from the deafness she is still the image of Fox Terrier Healthiness. At least I hope so, I really really do...
Classical music is so pretty! I've been listening to Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, my LotR's (sorryfrippoi) and PotC soundtracks all day. They are teh pretties.
Ooh, and that's time.

Usually listen to piano for study, meself.

To be honest... I normally just make a playlist of lots of songs that I know really well... it's not normally a very quiet playlist, hehe ^_^

Try the CD that you should have acquired with the textbook. It contains multiple-choice quizzes for all the chapters.

I wish we had essay questions on conditioning again, though. That'd be awesome.
