more about me.

[reinvent]

So, more about me. I like to talk about myself. I think I'm allowed to, in real life I don't really say much about myself unless its warranted.

Like I said, I'm a college student. I go to the University of South Florida. Not by choice, more like out of circumstance. Some stuff happened in my junior year of high school that made it necessary for me to stay in the state of Florida (but that's a whole 'nother story). I had big dreams of moving to New York and going to Columbia. But, nothing lasts forever.

So right, USF. I go there. I'm a Psychology major, Criminology minor on the pre-med track. It's a mouthful. Right now for me that means that I have aspirations of going to medical school and becoming a psychiatrist. I want to specialize in criminal psychology but I'm open for growth and movement. I love psychology mostly always have, but I'm not a big friend of science. I used to be, back when I had nothing else to do in life but go to school. But alas, priorities change and so do interests and although I've stuck by psychology, science has fell off into the abyss. I try to keep up, but science is really hard for me nowadays.

I'm taking summer courses right now. Technically, I'm a senior but I've only been in college 2 years. That's what happens when you forego a life in high school for academics. I don't regret that though, I'm going to graduate early. I'm taking Statistics, Organic 1, and Issues in Sports. The last one is an exit course, I don't like nor play sports.

To be continued...

oooh psychology! My other half does that at Uni :) and he hates statistics :P

[reinvent]

The thing is. I took psychological statistics when I first started school and I was fine with it. Then, I decided to do pre-med in my second semester of my first year and I have to retake statistics because the previous class doesn't count towards pre-med requirements. So I have a legitimate reason to hate statistics. Which the point to this story, is that I do. A lot.

ph jeeeeeeez that sounds awful! Matt did his thesis on gender differences in spacial awareness and it involved a lot of SPSS stuff, which I don't understand at all - I'm just a lowly archaeologist XD, i dont do graphs or chi squares or whatever they are haha.

Good luck with it :)

What is it you want to specialise in? Pre-med? (sorry, I dont know what that is, its probably called something else over here :P)

[reinvent]

I hate SPSS with a fiery passion of burning, raging hell.

Pre-Med is just a fancy way of saying I'm taking all the prerequisite courses to get into medical school. So I'm trying to be a psychiatrist.

haha, it looks incredibly overly complicated I must say :P

ooooh a psychiatrist, that's pretty awesome! Is it hard to do, like 4 years in med school or something? Over here, to become any form of psychologist you have to do 3years at BA and then go on and do an MA over another year or 2. Lots of hard work.

Yeah I have to do 4 years of med school and then about 3 years of residency so all together it's like 7 years of schooling give or take a year depending on the school I decide to go. If I wanted to be a psychologist I would go do my masters and get my PH.D. But, to prescribe medication you have to go to med school.
