Why do I have so many essays? My course is run by sadists and I'm a procrastinator.

shadow-light · 09-03-2009, 12:54 PM

Our library's only open till 9pm, 5 at weekends. Useless uni. . .

Have just finished a brilliant lecture on abnormal psychology. Lecturer was really passionate (guest lecturer) and explained everything really well and it was brilliant. Lol! Not sure I've ever been this enthusiastic after a lecture but it was really good.

Now I'm going back to Freud to learn about what he said about sexuality, then some Foucault, then some feminism. A whole load of Fs for me today. Fun fun fun! Lol!

NB: I have far too much caffeine in my system so please excuse my insanity. :)

Spoons · 09-03-2009, 01:57 PM

i like foucaults crime and surveillance stuff, its really interesting.

sobriquet · 09-03-2009, 02:02 PM

I haven't really started reading any of his stuff yet. My mentor told me not to worry too much about putting him in but he's basically the key writer on sexuality and power (I think) so I should at least give an overview. My housemate's doing forensics with criminology so he's read some Foucault. I might get him to explain it to me. He and I have lovely discussions about Durkheim, social control etc. Fun times. Means I can be doing nothing except chatting and feel like I'm learning. :P
I'm gonna start with Freud because my last essay was on psychoanalysis so I'm in a Freudian mindset (all I can think about is sex and it's all happening because I wasn't weaned properly! Lol!). I think every one of my essays this year has had at least a mention of Freud in it, but I really enjoy reading his stuff! Does that make me strange?

i love random educational discussions, we always had political debates, its one of the things i miss loads about living in a house (well with people i get on with).
everything turned into a mass debate, i do like a good debate, when i know what im talking about atleast.

another discussion we always had was what subject was the greatest out of the house. out of politics, sociology, psychology and english lit.

edit\: no not strange :)

sobriquet · 09-03-2009, 02:22 PM

Blatantly psychology is the greatest. :D
I love debating with my housemates (when I know what I'm talking about). My parents have very different views from mine accompanied by a refusal to accept that any other view could be right at all. They don't even listen to the arguments, just shoot me down. So uni is a great chance for me to debate without just getting told I'm wrong. Which is nice.

Evil people.

shadow-light · 09-03-2009, 02:49 PM

gah!

it;s sunny and warm and nice and where am I???? bloody biology lab... and where is that? in a basement :(

sobriquet · 09-03-2009, 03:08 PM

Lol! I was walking to my lecture this morning in beautiful sunshine. By the time I got out it was cold and windy and cloudy. :(
When it snowed in February I had lectures so had to walk in the ice and slush then sit inside in the dark while everyone else was playing in the snow. :(
The trouble with uni is it's really getting in the way of my social life and drastically reducing my free time. Although I still find time to spend hours on here every day. . . Lol!

shadow-light · 09-03-2009, 03:14 PM

missing out on snowness doesn't bother me lol, not keen on cold...

but I'm in aberdeen, this is the first sunny day we've had all year! and I'm stuck in a basement with no windows suffocating from the smell of formalderhide :/

Sans Peur · 09-03-2009, 04:17 PM

Uni libraries that are open late :O

Mine is shut at 8pm during term time weekdays. On a friday it is shut at 5pm.at weekends it opens at 10- 4 or something.The books we have are amazing though, can get most things that i need for my course.

I'm ill at the moment, want to be back in uni as i have a review next week of my work. Stuck up at my bf's without my coursework.

so stressed, so much to do for these units

sobriquet · 09-03-2009, 05:40 PM

I'm trying to find a job for after uni but there's nothing! Either that or I'm looking in the wrong places. Google has let me down.

Anyone know where I can find assistant (clinical) psychology positions in the south east (UK)? Have a horrible feeling I'm going to end up working in Tesco or Mcdonald's just to get some money. :(

I am drowning in work. And I'm only in first year. It's going to get worse *sobs*. I blame Greek. And my tendency to procrastinate. I spent 5 hours putting off something last night, and it took me 10 minutes in the end ><
Don't think I'm cut out for this uni thing.
