The last post!

Finally!!!! Yay!!!!!

Well I said that we were done in on of my other posts, but for this time it may be real... at least after we finish the THREE projects that were assigned this past week. The one I am looking forward to the most is the independent project. This is because we got to chose exactly what we wanted to do. I am writing a paper about the implications of nanotechnology for neurology. Starting out finding the articles was challenging, but now that I have a few it has gotten much easier. Now I can just use the references from the articles to find more articles. In fact, these articles have actually been better than the articles I originally found. I know I won't get through all of the references, though, since I have hundreds to sift though. Anyway...

The movie we are watching seems really pointless. It is high school musical with a 70's twist. I really don't see the psychological themes at all- besides drugs that is.

Well, I'm searching again, so I'm done. For good. At least as far as I know.

We're done!

Well, I'm glad that's over with. Finally, I can get a little sanity back in my life. Anyway, the test is about what I expected. The multiple choice that is... But I definitely liked the essays, and they seemed really easy.

The movie we watched in class was interesting, and it seemed hard for me to believe that it was based on a true story, even though I know it was. It was a fine movie- not my favorite but not bad.

As for the project, I'm looking forward to it. I am going to write a research paper about the implications of nanotechnology for neuroscience. This is because as of now I am planning on going into nanotechnology after college. While it won't be in the area of neuroscience, I am still interested in general information about the developing technology.

AP tests

Well, last week my post was titled stress!!!... I definitely think that I am feeling better about all of my AP tests now that one of them is over. Also, the practice tests have been helping my confidence, although I am still a bit cautious since we did not factor in the free response. I still have been very stressed out about my physics test though...

I definitely thing that studying over the long-term helps to reduce stress. Since I have been reviewing psychology topics for some weeks now, I feel calm and ready to take the test. This could possibly be another thing that the book could mention. By the way... There are the same number of pages devoted to attraction as aggression (exactly seven), but that is really off subject.

I think the book does a really good job of explaining stress and ways to combat it. I forget if it was mentioned, but one way I have found is to get plenty of sleep, since I then wake up refreshed and ready to start studying again.

Well, if you can't tell, I'm grasping for things to talk about so I think I will end it here, as bad as this post is...
