Today has been a good day \o/
And I am
loving my Masters
And deciding to actually get into Psychology as such.First Midterms went well, and I was pretty happy being acknowledged on the depth of insight by my Professor who now has her PhD just recently. And I was just like her, she commented. All that insight is buried under a ton of wordiness. Which was a comment to her when she started herself.
But the proceeding subjects in Advanced Psychotherapy are a bunch of awesome and fun. Learning about people, their biographies (of the psychologists way back in history who propelled the awesome that works out well today), and how they arrived at their ideas and the therapies being done (alongside videos of them being "acted", and yet they look candidly real), but most of all the importance of Positive Psychology. Better than self-help books and otherwise. Humanism and science combined, and its founder is still alive today.
To learn on how many THINGS he did beforehand (and being the only president of the APA with an overwhelming vote of approval(?forgot the term)), and then read the articles surrounding Positive Psychology from ~halfway around the world of its origin, is very very awesome. And reminds me why I kept on going 'why isn't psychology taught in general. Many people can benefit from this :I"
"Psychology focuses on the negatives; why not on the positives? "What's wrong with you, to What's right in you?"" and a lot more covered. And best thing is everything is given to us for perusal that I'm seeing a marked increase in all my grades and performance because this style of teaching and learning matches a lot for me. It's a lot different and better than the undergraduate school, and very diverse with its people. My class is just 6 people, with 3 of them being early twenties (including myself), two in late twenties/early thirties (averaging 29 years old), and one in her mid 50's. And it is just so awesome seeing the little things we mull over and talk humor about...is the same with people decades older.
Italics because tagalog and direct translations. :v
"<
The feeling when you think you got that multiple choice question but you didn't?>"
"<...
to learn that these people [those psychologists] were just ten years or so older than my age at that time, and doing all that, is very inspiring.>"
And discussing the 1920's and how awesome the modern renaissance would've been if it wasn't for book burning and tons of stuff. >_<
Still awesomely happy to see that there's not much difference in the years, and how awesome Masters is for a lot of people too.
Edit:
Also have a picture of an iceberg, which I stumbled upon on imgur.
