Psychocandy

Today I did my first day as a research assistant at the department of Psychology. It is a part time position, which  is perfect since I work full-time at my "real" job - hawking booze to anyone who wants it. It is also a great opportunity to stay a jour with the lovable world of academic psychological studies, and lets not forget that I am actually getting paid to sit at home and enter data and listen The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Thespian With Wicked Stats

While presenting my report of a fictitious project at an examination seminar in statistics today, the professor thought it necessary to stop me and ask if I had actually performed the project for real. The project was me investigating the correlation between the number of work hours and psychological resilience amongst the population of Buffalo, NY.

MBV is for Winners

While sitting in my study, writing informatics-papers to be able to (within months) collect the degree I started working on acquiring over ten years ago, I keep motivating myself by making a list of things I will allow myself to do once the diploma is on the wall. Today I added buying the new My Bloody Valentine album (mentioned in previous entries) to the mental schedule.
A good thing is that I only have three more papers to write before I have the god damn degree. The bad thing is that the list is unrealistically long.

Motivators

So Far Today...

I have:

• Conjured up two pages on the relation between Carl Jung and The Picture of Dorian Gray
• Baked some scones
• Tried a new pancake recipe

That's pretty much it. It seemed like a lot more as I was doing it. Now I am just preparing for tomorrow's lecture and relaxing to Beat Happening.
