Feb. 9th, 2009 12:45 pmI was doing reading for my Research in Psych class and the chapter I was reading is about the internet and research and it's just very amusing. It starts off my discussing how the internet is an indispensable tool for researchers, especially for communication via electronic mail and then in parentheses it says ("e-mail") and it's like, yeah, thanks, I really didn't know what you were talking about. But then what was even more amusing to me was it started talking about discussion groups on-line where you can discuss psychological issues of interest to you, and it's like "Some are open to anyone who wishes to take part in the discussion, including those who only want to participate passively ("lurk")." And for some reason that just totally cracked me up. And from the way this chapter was going I was like "Was this book written in like 1997 or something?" But then I checked and it was written in 2006, so I don't understand why it's treating the internet like no one reading the book has ever used it.
Anyway, I was ridiculously productive on Saturday and really proud of myself, and then I did absolutely nothing on Sunday. I should have at least started my lab for Multivariate Stats (I'm starting to increasingly regret taking this class. I mean, yeah, it's interesting, but it's going to be way too much work in comparison to how good the class is and now that I think I'm just going to minor in math, I totally didn't need to take it. I should have stayed in Linear Algebra. Or come to this decision a month ago. Or never come to the decision to double major at all. I'm far too indecisive. :( ), but instead I watched the BAFTAs.
And then I started arranging a list of every movie I've ever watched from favorite to least favorite. ( Rambling about movies in general. )
Yes, I realize I'm probably taking this too seriously or spending too much time think about it. But I'm on a serious movie kick right now. I don't know why. It goes in phases. The Academy Awards coming up certainly helps that, though. I always feel like watching more movies before and after them. And I also just really felt like doing nothing yesterday. Which is exactly what I accomplished. Now I just have to hope that I understand my stats homework better than I think I do so it doesn't take forever. Anyway, I'm still fiddling with the list of all the movies ranked, but I'll probably post a link to it once I'm done. (ugh I really need to stop procrastinating and do work.)
