On a further point to the newest T-Swizzle song, I feel like it will be the "You Belong With Me" or the "Speak Now" of her fourth album. The song that yes, is a little naïve and boppy but is still incredibly catchy and quirky. I think its one of those kind of cringe-y, guilty-pleasure songs. AND IT WILL GROW ON YOU. AND YOU WILL LOVE IT. MARK MY WORDS.
I'm currently sitting in the science library (scored a group study table because I was here before the library even opened, which is the only time you can get a group study table..) trying to find articles that are going to help me with assessing the benefits of sticking kids with developmental disorders in the same school system as mainstream kids. Of course, because I left in until two hours before I meet up with my partner in the debate, I can't bloody well find anything. I hate Google Scholar. I hate OneSearch. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST GIVE ME WHAT I WANT?
I swear when I get my Masters of my PhD I'm going to go back to all my assignments and do experiments on that the next-gen version of me won't have to go through this shit.
Also, I'm sitting with Oli and he talks a lot when he reads which is frustrating. He does this in lectures, too. Things along the line of "Oh, thats fascinating.." and "That's really interesting.." under his breath. I don't know whether to laugh or flick a lackey band at him.
My original point of this post was to list a few things I'm thankful for today/this week, inspired by my crazy, swearing, ex-military, will-kick-you-if-you-say-the-word-you're-getting-people-to-guess-in-charades industrial psych tutor, who made us do just that as one of the 'ice-breaking' activities.
But also, has anyone else noticed just how important ice-breaking activities seem to be in tutes? I only just realised this this semester since I was involved in my first actually positive ice-breaking activity (it involved speed dating, which I can't remember if I already brought this up). My other two units either had no icebreaker, or a really awkward one. I digress.
This blog post, I'm thankful for;
1. Discovering organic dark chocolate-coated coffee beans at Organic on Charles street (aka the best organic food shop, if not the only one, in Perth). They're deliciouso and definitely my new study snack.
2. Miss J, who provides endless amounts of hilarious facebook conversations that involve yelling/insulting each other, talking about boys and living vicariously through one another's (mis)fortunes and adventures. I wouldn't have it any other way.
3. My industrial psychology research lab assignment which makes it compulsory to attend the same time two days this week, guaranteeing I'll see that guy from last time and the opportunity to make more smalltalk/accompaniment to lectures/FRIEND.
I really don't want to hopelessly searching for journal articles.
I'm also disappointed I didn't bring any dark chocolate-coated coffee beans with me today.
Also, I've been up since 4am, so any rambling on my part (not that there's any other part to this blog) is excusable.
You're excusable.
I GOT AN EFFING MENTION WOOP WOOP. or at least i hope "miss j" is me. awks if it's not..
ReplyDeleteicebreaking activities in my tutes are always the worst as they're always "say one interesting thing about yourself" or "tell us one interesting thing about your holiday" and i'm like "uhhh." i wish it was something like "if you could, which member of one direction would you have sex with" cos i could talk an effing storm up about that one.
ReplyDeleteof course that mention was you :P
Deleteand LOL, if only. that would make things interesting
