Blog Black Hole

Hey Peep Shows!

So, I know that I had a totally different blog last time, but apparently I already had a blog from way back when registered under my gmail account. Anyways, this will be much easier to keep track of, so I will just stick with this one. Sorry to confuse the two people that subscribed.

So, what have I been up to now that I have not been dedicating myself to the amazing world of philanthropic hierarchy?

Well, quite a few things! In fact, I'm surprised to say that I have managed to keep myself very busy! Woop!

Okay, here are some things about my life post having it owned (in a good way) by Circle K:

1.) Research Methods, aka... class from hell

Imagine being thrown into a vat of chocolate pudding. Okay, that was just for funzies. Now, Imagine that you are thrown into a box of a million jig-saw puzzles, told to find the correct puzzle, put it's pieces together, and feed a family of four off it's contents. That's research methods.

2.) Having fun. A new concept I'm playing with.

I'm very happy to report that the first ever Jill Garrity Makeover Extravaganza was a papier mache pinata of great fun! Although I will not go into to much details over the debautchery of fun. I will implore you to ask Ms. Garrity was two things I forced her to do that night- I consider them highlights. Amongst other highlights included eyebrow tweasing, and late night chats on the phone. Check out that sexy picture of Jill Garrity (purrs)

3.) Research. After my grant got approved, I've been all over the board running around like a maniac.


4.) Reading. I have been reading so much for all my classes, it's crazy.

Yes, I have been reading articles on line, my research papers, some books for American Authors, text for Learning and Memory. When I'm not reading for classes, I'm on my laptop... reading. Today when I spent the afternoon catching up on some class reading. I realized how important this was in my life. During American Authors today, we sykyped with an author for one of our text. I found it really interesting when she said she doesn't reccomend reading without writing. This seems to be a concept that I have heard echoed in other classes. And indeed, for many of my classes, I have found myself writing a lot. Especially, in a "response" or "reflection" format. I think this is significany in turing "lessons" into concepts to work with.

Things that I'm not reading: Motivation and Emotion, Industrial-Organizational Psychology

So, someother noteworthy events in the recent history:

- Jill had a 50's inspired "shin dig"
-I have been running a lot, this is exciting for me!
-Watching movies on the brain
-Cured Cancer
-I have been watching a lot of good movies, some not so much, but all of them thought provoking, they include: America is Dead, The Obama Deception, Doubt, Revolutionary Road, MILK.

The main effect of all these movies has been, well... let me put it in a formula:

Hope-Hope= Exasperation/Apathy x Souless = Rock bottom + Denial of hoplessness x Facade of dreams = blissfull ignorance.

I do not give anyone the write to use that, I plan on turing that into a theory some day.
