Dawn's Digression.
Tuesday, November 18, 2003
I was able to get registered for those classes yesterday. I am taking:
Social Psychology: Theory and research on social perception, socialization, attitude change and social influence, aggression, interpersonal attraction, deviance and control, alienation, and commitment.
and
Statistics for Psychology: Course introduces concepts and calculations of descriptive statistics, including mean, sum of squares, variance, standard deviation, correlation and regression. It also includes logic of statistical decision making, the use of binomial and Gaussian distributions, and fundamental considerations in the design of psychological experiments.
Can you imagine my upcoming stress as I attempt a math course? Good grief. It's going to be ugly. Social Psychology sounds like it might at least be interesting. I sure hope so. I am looking forward to getting my books, though. I feel strongly that I need to look at the first couple of chapters of that statistics book.
Don't tell Michele, but I think I'm allergic to these flowers. My eyes have been watering all day. I had to move them to the far corner of my desk, and it has been better since I did. Never in my life have I been allergic to anything, so this is new to me.
The appointment with my therapist went alright last night. I feel like such a titty baby when I talk to him, though. I complain and complain and complain. I bet I beat him down. At least it is him, though, and not one of you! That 45 minutes really just flies by, though. It's amazing.
Did you watch the AMAs the other night? I'm full of commentary on that. Jimmy Kimmel is NOT funny. He's not. Britney's song blew. I did like her outfit. If she was singing, though, who could hear it? Madonna wannabe. Pink sounded good, I think. And Kid Rock. I love Kid Rock. I did not love his acceptance speech. Holy Crap does Outkast suck, and who the hell were those people from Jamaica or wherever the hell? Suckeroos. I think I'm getting old, because a lot of that just sounded like a bunch of noise. Isn't that Hillary Duff a cute little thing? I'm not saying her song was good. Lame, actually. Something about "A girl can rock..."blah blah But she seems like a wholesome little thing for now, so I'm going to like her.
How about Average Joe? Are you watching that? Unfortunately, I am. What a drag that they brought what are supposed to be 'cute' guys into the show. Terribly unfair. The guy with the longer hair looks like a dick to me. We'll see. I wish she hadn't booted Tareq. I liked him. He was cocky, yes, but he was so smart and worldly. Very attractive.
I've actually made some progress on that advent calendar. I was right when I said it will take me forever. I think I better take it with me to my grandmother's on Thanksgiving. There is just no way I'm ever going to finish it.
I have a dentist appointment tomorrow to start the process on two crowns. Ugh. I need three, but ain't no way I'm signing up for that right now. I'll worry about that third one next year.
