Today I went to my Women Psychology class. As usual, I'm kinda looking forward to it. Today's topic is on 'Growing Up Female II' We did an assessment on how gender identified we were (individually) This is a new personality test which break from the tradition of defining people only as Masculine and Feminine (there are a lot of personality test which limits a person to e.g. high masculine traits must come with low feminine traits and vice versa) but in this test, the masculine and feminine and neutral traits are viewed independently on its own. This means that a person is capable of having high on both masculine and feminine traits. (Do not confuse this with bisexual/transgender. It's plainly on personality traits, not sexual orientation.) So, there are 4 categories: 1. Masculine 2. Feminine 3. Androgynous (high score on both masculine and feminine traits) 4. Undifferentiated (low score on both) Research is done and these are the results: 1. how you fall into whic...

Pride

It's so scary to know that it can creep in without you knowing. Something that you've been fighting consciously. It doesn't come informing you beforehand, It doesn't even shows itself when you look into the mirror; More often than not, you realize its existence slower than the rest, More often than not, you realize its existence after you have fallen into it. It is a constant struggle that requires consistent check in the spirit, something that you hate to see it in other people, without realizing that it first existed in you. Even with a built-in reminder in your heart: to never allow a space for it, it finds its way steadily, right into your life, your speech, your act. Scarier still, it can be You. Telling yourself not to be like 'those' people, trusting that you have better judgment than most do, more often than not, you fail more miserably than you know. No matter how hard, strong, persistent you are, it still welcomes itself, crawling right into its steady...

Being a teacher for the Teachers

Look like I'm meant to be a teacher. There really are quite a few people who've told me that I would make a good teacher and I just laughed it off. I mean, it's not that I've not thought about that. I have actually told people that I wanna be a Physics teacher when they ask about my future plans. But it's not something that I can't wait and excitedly looking forward to. It's just the best option out of the rest for my Physics degree. Remember the psychology testing website link that I've included in my last post? Good link. Check it out! Lots of good and beneficial test. I just did "Career Personality and Aptitude test" Results as below: Education Teachers, Postsecondary Description Teach courses pertaining to education, such as counseling, curriculum, guidance, instruction, teacher education, and teaching English as a second language. It encourages me to obtain at least a Doctoral Degree. Read the top 10 list of education career specified for ...

News-of-the-day

I 've hesitated whether to drop the 'Women Psychology' class. Cos the professor told us that we're expected to have taken PSYC 107 (basic psychology) class and she would assume that we understand all the basics as she teaches and she warned us that the average of the class is a C. wow. that's kinda shocking. I have never taken any basic psychology class and another fact is that I would need a class to help pump up my physics GPA. not to bring it down. but this class really captivates me and I can see that I will look forward to attending it no matter how hard the tests are. After some research and try-outs of different classes, I still settled for this class and tell you what--- No Regrets! :D So today, we learn about the difference between men and women. Prof gave a few simple Visual-Spatial test to us. (Visual spatial ability= the ability to mentally manipulate 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional figures) and she said that research has proven that men are generally...
