So since I last wrote, I have started my classes. Today was the end of week 2 of classes, and I already feel so lost. I am taking 4 classes: Abnormal Psychology across the Lifespan, Social Psychology of Groups Processes and Social Change, Biological Basis of Behaviour, and Tools For New Media and Web. The way classes work here is you go to a lecture a few hours a week, then you go to a lab or tutorial for another few hours each week. This ends up being around 6 hours per class that I actually have to go. The labs rotate every other week though. I think I am having the hardest time with Biological Basis of Behaviour, or NEUROSCIENCE. It's like another language to me.
I also find it strange that out of my 4 lecturers, 2 are American. I am in Australia, I wanted Australian teachers! haha.
This week labs started, and I already had my first Neuroscience quiz. I also saw a spider in the classroom bigger than a tarantula. Needless to say, that's what got my attention the entire 3 hours. We were put into groups for a presentation, and I was put in the group that will be researching Sexual Preference. The other topics are Obesity, Fear, and Alzheimer's. I think I might do my summary on Obesity.
I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately. There were tons of bugs flying around earlier in the week, and some in my bed. I have also gotten lots of bites, and a rash on my foot, which I think I got from dawn kayaking. I also woke up with blood in my ear one morning, so this week hasn't been the best for me. I think I am getting anemic again, boo. I need to take some iron pills. Oh, and I got a funny package from my mom and she tried to send me a bag of guinea pig hair, which they took away haha. They replaced it with a letter saying they took a bag of guinea pig hair away hahaha.
Going to watch the B&G Field Hockey Game today. If it's not rained out.
Hope everyone is doing well!!
