    SOMEBODY SAVE ME

  • UT LSAMP!

    I just got accepted to the UT LSAMP program Which means they'll be funding my research that I am doing this summer as well as requiring me to participate in some research cuss and discuss forums of some sort...which Im less than stoked about. I'm not a good public speaker and I basically like to keep to myself. I used to be an extrovert...and then college made me an introvert somehow. I guess by beating down my confidence. Hahaha.

     

    Well, anyways, even better than funding my research is that I will also be receiving a stipend of 1,000 for 3 months (the summer.) This is exciting because it means I can work less. And maybe save up for my wisdom teeth removal, fixing Tatiana (my precious car) and paying off some rent so I can be ahead (because shit happens when you're me, and you need to prepare for it.)

  • Self looking glass

    Keeping up with the pace of life is hard. Since we were all young, we were grouped in classrooms full of people our own ages. We were all given the same goals, and judged accordingly. We were expected to move along at the same rate. Those who got there sooner were considered smarter, or better, to some degree.

    I think that this could have had some negative effects on people. For example, when in college... whoever is the farthest at the youngest age must be smarter. Why could we not consider that they may simply have known what they wanted to do from age 2 compared to the others? Why does there need to be a correlation between time spent and synapse density? I don't really think that there is one.

    Again, when people spend longer lengths of time...does this mean that they are dumb? No, clearly not. However, the thought crosses my mind that maybe I am taking more time than I should. I could have graduated twice now... but I wanted two degrees, now I don't know if I even really want to finish my second one, so I will have spent extra time for the same product. But why am I so bothered by that?

    I'm not bothered because I am bothered... I am bothered because of what I perceive other people will think of me. Self looking glass theory is what I believe that is called. Either way... our perceptions of other peoples perceptions matter to us. I want them to matter less to me. I am working on this.
