Home Sweet Home

I'm back home in JB for raya! yeay! Got back yesterday around 9pm.

This week was my last week of Behavioral Sciences and so we had our finals yesterday. It was okay. The objectives were tiring to do actually what with 40 questions and each question having 5 sub-ques. The subjectives were quite direct and there was a question asking us to create our own human development theory based on all the theories we've learnt so far(Freud,Piaget,Kohlberg,Erikson). That ques let us use our creativity a bit.

After 3 weeks of BS, i'm quite happy it's over. Learning about psychology is fun sometimes but i find it to be something i like reading about for leisure. I'm not so interested about going to classes for it. Of course some of the topics we covered were fun but there were quite a few that were draggy. Doing the study group thing for this block was a lot of help cause having to learn all the topics by myself would have been boring. Which reminds me- Thanks Nebbe, Ezad, Amir, Afiq and Loi!

Talking about study groups, i realise that it's true what our lecturers told us about how we'd start using terminolgies we'd used in our classes in our daily conversations. Because it's Ramadhan, my study group mates and I would usually break fast together or go for sahur after burning the night lamp. One particular night sticks to mind. We had just finished reviewing the whole syllabus for BS and were at this tomyam restaurant in Dengkil and it was funny how we somehow managed to relate everything we were talking abt to BS, ranging from classical conditioning to exhibitionism and voyeurism to how were in sync with Erikson's Psychosocial Theory. We even got into a whole discussion about how prejudiced we were and if we were ever altruistic. I guess Prof.Hatta was right when he said that BS would make us look at things around us in a different light.
