Fuck.
My family don't get why I'm deferring uni.
Fuck them. I've told them. I need time off. I'm practically 18 and I don't have a fucking life because I have uni and work. I can't go out. I can't be young while I'm young. So fuck them for not seeing that. They're so FUCKING proud their eldest is off to big(ger) school.
I'm sick to fucking death of making my family happy. It's ridiculous. They say there is not pressure and I can do what I want but as soon as I bring up DEFERRING UNI (it's not even quitting, I'm still enrolled) they go off the rails. They think I'm not going to go back.
The more I think about it, the more I think I won't go back. But I've got to give it a chance, right?
This is my decision, I'm paying for it.
So fuck off and when you say I can do what I want when I want, fucking stick to it.
FUCK.

If you need an excuse...
The only good thing about my degree at the moment is 1001PSY. The lecturer is a bore. But the subject matter is way awesome. It's all about how our brain figures things out. Cognitive psychology it's called. Has to do with neurons and the chemical impulses which travel down the axon to the terminal buttons that connect to either a muscle cell, a gland or another neuron and release baby molecules that lock into place. Then they send messages. It's ridiculously cool. We also learn about cool things like the cocktail party effect.
It basically explains eavesdropping. So if you need an excuse... tell them it's animal nature. If you're in a large group of people and you're talking to a few people and across the room someone says your name, your ears will pick it up and you'll lose attention to who ever you're talking to and pay attention to wherever your name came from.
We've all experienced this, right? Right.
The reason is that pretty much as soon as we're born we are interested in anything to do with ourselves.
We've also learned that what we call common sense can sometimes be a genetic disorder which can prevent 'common' sense. Like being about to figure out words without hearing them "putting 2 and 2 together". If we see an incomplete circle our brain will not automatically tell us that it is a 'c' because it isn't, it just has a break. So we disregard the break and know that it is actually a circle. With a break. A lot of optical illusions are designed to put two opposite images in one setting to confuse our brain. Creating the "trippy" effect that we see optical illusions as. So in one lecture we were just looking at all these types of optical illusions haha. It was great.
I still hate uni :)
Just so you know.

Don't drink warheads in the morning.
First assessment = DONE.
I have another test today. I'm a little worried. Because it's all about the history of psychology and the types of psychology methods out there. And I'm pretty sure our marks go up on the internet.
It's times like those I'll be glad to have a number as identification :)
I hate using public transport to get to uni but it's cheaper. Way cheaper.
Today I'm travelling in peak hour traffic, to the city. That means that the whole of brisbane is going to try and squeeze onto the bus. Ugh.
I think I'm going to go to the shops today and buy a cd :) I figured out that I have nearly $50.
I'm meeting with my peer mentor today, not that I need to. I know where everything is and I've found how to organise myself. Because she disappeared for like... 3 weeks.
And I have a meeting with my learning group, we're going to be doing activites to do with good listening skills. Should be fun. My lecturer for 1009PSY reminds me of teakle... so I don't take anything in this class seriously. Most people from uni find this course so intriguing and interesting. I think it's a waste of my time. And I think that I shouldn't have to do it.
I don't care if I'm a good listener or not.
