I got into the Oregon research internship. 

*****

I had my last official Psych 304 lab today. Dr. S and I have decided to put my TA abilities to use elsewhere in the future, specifically as his Psych 111 TA. Not as many bitter Seniors, no required meetings with students, no projects to oversee. Instead, I get to mess with the minds of innocent Freshmen.

*****

I get to stay in WG until I leave for Oregon. And I don’t have to pay for the month of Spring Term that I won’t be here for.

*****

I scored myself a free book today. Not that I will have any use for it in the future, but it’s another Psychological Testing text. But hey, a free book is a free book, right?

Happiness. 25 March, 2009

Filed under: A few of my favorite things, Happiness., This makes me laugh! — Katie @ 8:49 pm

Class schedules for Fall Semester unofficially went online today, which means that I get to engage in my favorite activity: planning my classes! There is just something so wonderful and good about flipping forward a few months in Google Calendar and creating new entries and figuring out which combination of classes work the best together. My schedule is a little more jam-packed than I wanted it to be (as of now), and I still haven’t figured out my coaching internship stuff that I need to do in the fall (since–fingers crossed–I’ll be doing grad school interviews during the winter). 

However, as I was perusing the different classes offered in the Psychology department, I remembered that I wanted to take Developmental Child Psych from Flom, if possible. I got into the listing for it, and what to my marveling eyes should appear? Not Flom’s name.

Oh no.

Dr. H is teaching it instead.

I may or may not have squealed in happiness right in the middle of Abnormal Psych.

Speaking of Dr. H, I was in the Testing Center today slaving away on another Primate test. For one question, I mentioned incest for some odd reason and I started to have the dialog from this go around in my head (the scene in question starts at about 3:00 and goes until 3:40, but watch the whole thing, plus the other 3 parts, plus the other plays they do. It’s hysterical.):

 

I may or may not have started giggling in the middle of the TC. And there may have been a certain boy a couple rows over whom I may or may not have gone on a date with over three years ago, and haven’t spoken to since. The TC was really empty.

 

Lappy Names, GoogleFight Edition. 24 March, 2009

While “Slappy” is winning in the poll, GoogleFight has a different answer.

“Hamlet” beats the snot out of “Slappy”, with a whopping 2 million hits to “Slappy”’s almost 100 thousand.

However, when “Hamlet” becomes “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”, it loses in spectacular fashion.

In other news, Reginald is back from Florida, and he had a splendid time! He’s fully rested and back to work, and his charger got fixed, too.

People at Cyber-Test: Thank you for taking care of my baby and not giving him a memory wipe. You went above and beyon the call of duty when you also fixed his charger (which was NOT covered under the warranty) free of cost. Whenever Reggie gets sick again, I know that I can trust you with my precious lappy.

Love, Katie
