I <3 Zimbardo

Zimbardo is the author of my psych textbook. He was also the one who carried out the Stanford Prison Experiment if you recall what it was. The one we were made to read for GP, on how one group were prison guards and one group were prisoners and they were so into their roles. Yep, he carried that out.

I've been facing him for the past 5 days, with increasing amounts of time spent with him each day. I am drowning in psychology. My neurons are firing like mad. Action potentials are generated like crazy. My thalamus and frontal lobes are overworked. My memory is improved with heuristics and alogarithms. My senses have become more accute, passing neural impulses to form my perceptions. If this goes on, I have to use classical conditioning to train myself to rest. This is so crazy.

I even dreamt of schemas and scripts yesterday. Is this crazy or what.

And despite reading him for the entire week, I am still left with one and a half chapters. And I've only read the chapters once. ONCE leh. This is so crazy. I am going to need to see a psychologist even before I (hopefully) become one.

But it's my fault. I should have spent 7 hours per week (module requirement on number of preparatory hours per week) to read. After all, I need 5 or more hours to complete a chapter. 7 hours doesn't seem too exaggerated.

I have no life. My hideout is the library. The cafe galilee lady seems pissed because I book a table there from 12-6pm. Then again, no one eats at cafe galilee unless they are students. When I tutor kids, I peek at my notes. When I am free, I flip to the next chapter/section and read. When I finish reading, I jot down notes. And it's only for an MCQ test. I didn't even care to revise for vectors tests and retests and re-retests. I think in uni everything counts. Everyone is so motivated to do well you feel you have to do well too. And this test is of a lot of importance to me. Though it's only 20%, it's my chance to prove that I can do it, to prove that I will not fall, to prove that I can be as good as I want to. I don't think I feel stressed out, perhaps, just tired of psychology. Nevertheless, it is interesting. I don't have to drag myself to open the book (like I did for vectors notes). I feel happy when I study.

Okay, enough of ranting. And Teo Baowen, that was from AMK. The only way to reach school in 45mins from your house is to take a cab. And the only way to reach in less than 45mins is to teleport. For you need a bit longer cuz you might end up in NTU due to bad direction sense. HAHAHAHAHAHA. OMG, my first joke of the week leh, please laugh on the tagboard to show support.

Or I'll hypnotise you and turn you into a rhinoceros. Muahahahaha.

MOF2 signs off. Okay, actually we don't learn hypnotising in psychology. Inserts sad face.

P.S. I don't think I'll watch The Time Traveller's Wife already. Reason is as above.
P.P.S. No Survivor today! :O So emo, emo emo emo.
P.P.S.S. GYM Soh please don't disappear again. I visualised you being robbed of your phone and the person switched it off and you are stranded on an expressway walking like a beggar leh. I even wanted to go to the pool place at AMK to find you lah. Okay, I think I watch too many dramas.
