ALexandra...
I loved your response! Sorry I am just now responding....its been an up and down whirlwhind kind of year.
Thats funny about the teacher being bonkers! he has to be! he is so obviously having a midlife crisis! Most of the girls he would go after would be fresh out of high school (he taught at a community college).
It never bothered me, until he gave me a 98 on an essay test that I KNOW I should have made a 100. (I normally do not make hundereds, or 90s for that matter, but on this I had studied and really knew the stuff) It was like he didnt want to piss off his little "girlfriend" by giving me a higher grade. I called him on it though...he raised it to a 99! the jerk!Its funny, accomplishment can sustain the feelings of "inferiority" it seems. I just realized last week that this time next year I will be getting ready to graduate. That was a big boost to my ego/self esteem
So your a psyc major? Whats your thoughts on social psychology? I think its a waste of time, personally! It seems we are learning some really cool stuff, but its all common sense. Funny, the first page in the book points out the "hindsight bias" and I find that ironic. Like its preparing you to credit hindsight balance instead of your own commonsense.
Hope I made sense in what I just wrote!
