That's really the worst. I know the feeling...so much. Nods.

What's the final in?
Personality Psychology. It's my one non-cumulative final, so I'm not particularly worried. It's also, luckily, not until 2. So my random bout of insomnia shouldn't affect me too greatly, other than being a pain in the ass.

Yeah, that doesn't too awful. Hopefully sleep gives you some manner of relief. I had much the same feeling before my last day of finals, a week ago. A general "meh." Though I think I actually got to sleep in time, fortunately.

Perks a thoughtful eyebrow, pondering. Personality Psychology, hmm. Are you a psychology major, then? I'm trying to imagine the curriculum that matches that course title. Actually, seems like a lower level psychology class, now that I think about it.

I think it's all the studying. Made me too wired to sleep. Hopefully this won be a problem tomorrow night as my Saturday final is the one class I really care about getting an A in, and it's at 9.

I am a psych major and it is a lower level class. I'm a freshman, so the majority of my classes have been lower level classes. It's mostly learning about the different approaches to psychology and how they apply to personality. That, and personality disorders.

Hmm, makes sense to me. I studied psychology on my first trip through college, actually. So you probably had a fun time learning about crazy mister B.F. Skinner. Smirks.

You guys learn about the Milgram Experiment, then?

Man, the Milgram Experiment is some scary shit.

I've seriously always been curious about it. It bugs me since I don't know it really worked. I tend to think of myself as typically fairly trusting of authority figures, but I suspect I'd have stopped that shit and walked out.

I actually took AP psych in high school, so a lot of what was taught this semester I'd already learned, Milgram included. And hey, I'm pretty sure most of the people that make it ito the textbook are crazy on some level, not just Skinner. Although, he was something...

I think sleepiness has finally hit me, so I'm going to take this chance to attempt to sleep again. Have a wonderful night!

Right? You would think you'd go, "This is fucking insane!" and leave... but I'd bet if you'd asked all those people before they were in that room, they would've said the same thing.

Yeah, i just don't know. They say that it proved that people are willing to blindly rely on authority figures, but I think there's something else going on with that. Maybe it was people wanting to get paid and thinking they had to participate, greedily. Shrugs.

Maybe, but I think they repeated it enough to be able to correct for things like that. Plus, I doubt they were paying people enough to straight up torture others.

You also have things like the Stanford Prison Experiment, where even the psychologist let psychological abuse happen in the course of the experiment.

Hello...anyone...everyone...

Eager, but not ready. :) We have a wedding to attend. I'm supposed to get my hair done this evening, but at the rate things are going, I may show up for the appointment unshowered and in my pjs. I'm sure she won't mind, right?

It'll give her a chance to prove her skills if nothing else.

But a wedding sounds nice.

(Honestly, I don't know how single moms get anything done!)

I'm really happy for the couple getting married - it's a second marriage, for both of them, and they're too cute. :)

But they said absolutely bring the baby...I'm hoping they don't regret that decision forever. It's not in a church, anyway, and of course if he really hollers, I'll take him outside.

Got anything exciting planned for your weekend?
 
smiles and blows a kiss towards Tess

Hiya lovely!

Things here are good, very good.

And with you...?

Glad to hear it!

catches this kiss, returns!

And I'm good, thanks! Still seeing snow, though. Ugh.

Hi, Tess!

hugs

Hi, Alice!

hugs back.

So nice to see you! A wedding, you say? I was telling someone the other day that I get sentimental at weddings now. Am I a wimp for this?

Awww, we took Mini Brit to a wedding last year, she and Mr Brit ended up spending a fair amount of the service outside the church...

giggles softly

...but am sure your little chap will be much better behaved than she was!
And my weekend looks to be a quiet one. The usual chores and then ongoing preparations for our UK trip. Maybe some writing and maybe some time in the garden if temperatures rise as they're predicting they will!
 
My phone does not cooperate well with multi-quote...

Tess: nah, I think it's trending. ;) This guy actually introduced me to my husband, and his bride-to-be has changed his life, so it's going to be especially heart-warming. Also, I cry at Huggies commercials. I'll have a purse full of tissues, for sure!

Brit: I would have counted on his good behavior before this week, he's been so chill before - don't know what's up! Has he been swapped for a changeling?

We're supposed to have beautiful weather, too - I'm so glad!

Ohhkay, he's really telling at me - too much sitting for his taste - so I'm off again for now. Much love!

Loves to you and yours in the mean time, and hope you have a wonderful time at the wedding. :rose:
