Feb. 7th, 2009 11:27 amI got a letter in my box yesterday inviting me to join Psi Chi, the National Honor Society in Psychology, based on my grades. Pretty cool. I don't know exactly what it does. It says some stuff about being a reference for life and I don't know what else. It was totally random and not what I was expecting when I went to my mailbox, though.
What I was expecting was my books and DVDs my mom sent a week ago which still aren't here. gr. Now it's less that I want the books and DVDs and more that I'm concerned that they haven't arrived yet. The post office better not have lost them or I'll be really pissed off.
I had my first test of the semester yesterday in German. It went very well, I think? The listening was absolutely terrible since she only let us hear it once but none of us knew that beforehand and last semester our professor let us hear it twice, so after the first time we were all "Can we hear it again?" and she was like "No." And I had planned to be able to hear it again, so I only focused on certain parts, and yeah. But whatever, I've never been amazing at listening, anyways. I'm not good at it in English, really, either. Like, when people would read aloud poems or a passage from a book or whatever in English classes in high school, I could never keep focused on what they were saying and absorb the information; I always had to read along or else I'd never get it. And I remember in elementary school we took these tests to see what kind of learners we were (there was like... visual, auditory, and kinesthetic or some other word that meant you learned by actually doing things) and I was like 100% a visual learner and was terrible at auditory learning. Random fact about me, I guess! But the rest of the test went really, really well. And I think she likes me for some reason. So that's good.
We got assigned a research project in Multivariate Stats and I'm totally dreading it. Especially now because I'm regretting switching from Linear Algebra to Multivariate Stats. Not because the class sucks, because it doesn't. I'm really liking it so far (except for this project). But because I've changed my mind again about... basically, what I want to do after college and majoring in math and all that. ( Rambling about Future Stuff! )
