Sometimes things happen.

I think I shall reconsider my response to your "studying generally rather than studying specifically for the win" statement, nicholii. See, I think that if I didn't know exactly what I needed to know, and if I didn't know that I already know more than enough to pass, I'd study more thoroughly. It's all about arrogance I suppose.
That said though, it's awesome knowing all the parts of an exam, even if it does make the whole thing an extravagant exercise in futility.

"I have seven Kilos of cheese" unfortunately isn't true. I just remembered that I did, as my post-Black Death wealthy-merchant self. It was vintage, medieval cheese. I bet it'd kill me if I tried to eat it today.
Apparantly I have to make salad now. Damn. Should never have let on that I can do things and look after myself, it gives people ideas. Tsk.

I'll probably update again later, although I don't have anything to say. Livejournal is like that though. It sucks you in and you can't get out. So you just drool thoughts until you fall asleep/your fingers fall off/both. Oh, it can happen.

See what I mean?

I'm installing a "Windows Fun Pack". ooh, exciting.

Okay, so while I'm telling myself I'm just doing this so that I'll be remined to study when I check livejournal every 15 minutes, we all know it's just more procrastination.

Things to do:
- memories points behind the 10 tasks
- practie applying points to random passages from the sourcebook
- look at random Greek art and do the same!
- draw pictures of all the pretty god/esses and monsters, or heroes <-- maybe later.

Hahah. Actually, now I put it like that, I'm actually feeling kind of motivated. Woo! Oh, right, that motivation is to draw awesome greek monsters, like Echidna, Cerberus and Medusa... Aww, Perseus! He's my favourite hero, now. Herakles? Pshhhh. Perseus is totally where it's at.

*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 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 (sorry frippoi) and PotC soundtracks all day. They are teh pretties.

Ooh, and that's time.

Hehe. I found my little book of quotes from 12 History classes when trying to find paper to write study stuff on. That one amused me. So did:

"I know what I have to write..."
"The truth?"
"...I put good over lawful."

I don't remember what our little discussion there was about, lone_one, but I suspect it might have been... Grad books?

I've found... or, well, the uni has found this delightful little studying website, which I am using at the moment for Psych. I'm actually making an absurd amount of progress considering it's The First Day. Er, I don't know whether it'll hold up.

Oh noes! Nanowrimo!Afternoon of The First Day. Mayhap I will study by day, and work on that by night. It seems a good plan. Bwahahahah.

Oh! I called the Places, and got a call back today. Since there are like 9 positions for Museum Curating (??) in WA, and all of them are presently filled, I don't know what to dooo... I can do volunteer work though. Joy... ! Er, I called Mr. Miller too, and talked about Teaching. GASP! I know. I think I might do that. Architect lady is obviously too good to call me back. Which I guess is ok, because our phone is fucked. If you need to call me! Call my mobile!

Ghan, out.

It's all fun and games until someone looses an eye. Then it's fun and games with the eye.

[Edit: What is everyone else doing Nanowrimo calling themselves on the website? I want to add firendses. Hehe. I am Ghan there... shock! heh. I go now...]
[Edit: bwahahah. I have added some people who I found by my terrifying mind-skillz. But perhaps there are more of you...?]
