Despite the fact that I feel there are more than several people in my life that would make great subjects for a Psychology thesis relating somehow to Abnormal Psychology, time and time again I recognise that I am still probably #1 on that list.
In case I haven't said it before, all Psychology majors, students, professors, etc. and people who have degrees in Psychology (like me) are nuts. They may be good nuts or bad nuts, but they are nuts to a certain degree. Some of the most brilliant and awesome people I've ever met were involved in the field of Psychology. And some of the most fucked up and annoying people I've ever met were also Psychos, I mean Psych people. It's awfully exciting--you just never know what you'll get. Like mama always said, Psych is like a box of chocolates....
Anyway, I'm feeling quite manic now--manic in the sense that I have all these ideas and desires racing around in my head, but it's quite paralysing because I keep debating on what to do first and I end up doing very little at all. I'm on a "study kick" at the moment. I'm currently taking a writing class at the WEA, which puts on non-acredited continuing education courses. I'm also checking out classes at Sydney Uni's Continuing Education program. Overall, Sydney Uni generally has a broader selection of courses, but they are often not as long and nearly twice the price of a WEA course, and frankly, I've found the intstructors and classes at both schools to be equally good. There's a Criminal Psychology course at Sydney Uni that I've been wanting to take for the last year. Granted, I did do a bit of this at Uni, but I never got to take our official Criminal Psychology class at Boston Uni because I could never fit it in my schedule. It's relative cheap compared to the usual Sydney Uni course, so I'm thinking of it. There's a Writing for Children class I would LOVE to take, but it's awfully pricey, and only has 6 classes....when I have more money, I'll consider it. I'll likely take Scriptwriting II at WEA next semester, and I really really want to start taking some language classes. Even though part of me feels I should pick up some where with Spanish, for some reason I am in the mood to start fresh. I'd like to try Japanese or French or Italian. Probably Japanese first. I will definitely pick up Spanish again...in the nearish future, before I forget it all, but now I'm really gunning for something really new and different. You can really start to see why I am the jack of all trades, master of none. My attention span sucks.... ;)
Anyhoo, I'm off to do some writing now! Woo-hoo.
p.s. The Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade was fun last night. I went with Jorge, Ray, David, Adrienne, and Heather. Cool costumes and floats as always, but I'd like to officially bestow the "Great Big Bitch" Award to the blonde moron standing in front of me. She was rude, obnoxious, and annoying (and not even a Yank!) ;) My biggest problem was that we had losers standing around us who kept stomping on my feet or falling over on us or hogging our milk crates or being rude if I had a centimeter of my foot on their's. What kind of Mardi Gras spirit is that, hmmmm? ;) But excellent job done by the actual parade officials and particpants...hilarious and creative stuff going on. Happy Mardi Gras!
