The calm before the storm... and psychological impressions!

Ah. fine u might not get the joke in the title but it doesnt matter

Anyw, after 3 months of struggling and slacking and struggling again, the calm before the storm has arrived. you know, the short period when thr's suddenly no homework or lessons whatsoever, yea those. and they are the sign that the long-forecasted storm has finally come - exams!!!

So its finally time to pick up the book and start flipping thru them as if i was really interested, its been kinda long since i last did this. Wish me luck.

Also i came up with several interesting maths ideas out of the blue and got to work on them too last saturday. but after awhile when i was finally done i decided to screw my homework and start watching tv. and the movie was nice. im gonna review it soon (so stay tuned, dear). and i slept at 2.30 am.

But what really attracted my interest this week was the idea of psychological impressions. In part, this was the background theme of the movie i watched, but the concept made more sense to me after i watched the movie, and it was in regard to the movie itself: i couldnt help but to remember the visceral (if u dunno what this means it means visual and apparent and sensate) details everywhere i go. its like the old macdonald's song-stuck in-ur-head kinda feeling. in fact, the impression was so deep i could hardly sleep after that (might already give u an idea of what kind of movie i watched).

I think that there are certain types of events that we as individuals are more sensitive to. then after they occur, we tend to become fixated with the visceral or emotional aspects of the event and if these feelings are negative they can drive us to extremes. take for example a kid who was abused from young. if the psychological trauma he suffered doesnt get aided he would become paranoid or in extreme(r) cases abusive when he becomes older. get what im trying to say?

You do? That's great.

Yea... and guess what? my school's internet screwed around with me, and now i cant do my work with my laptop in school. It just decided to not let me log into my school server acct no matter whether im connected to the server. and there goes any internet sessions in school. pish.

Finally, there's a drama serial on mediacorp TV channel 8 that seriously ROCKS! you should catch it asap if u can. its called Crime Busters x2 and its on at 9pm all weekdays. its funny, thrilling and at the same time.... (hmm whats that word...) plotty? ok lol i was just playing around basically it has good plot.

Catcha later!
