APA

I am very excited today! I just submitted my application to join the American Psychological Association! With my year membership I will enjoy a year subscription to Journal of Family Psychology and Journal of Experimental Psychology:Applied. Both journals are of my choice and will further my interested and knowledge in the specific field I am interested.
By being a member of the APA I will benefit in the following ways...

1. Student loan consolidation
2. Career Services
3. Discount on Computer and electronics and other goods
4. Advocacy programs
5. Informational Resources (online data bases etc.)
6. Networking
7. Not to mention it looks great on a Resume (for a job and Graduate school)

So I will wait and pray that my application gets accepted. As you can see, regardless of the cost, this is a great opportunity for me.

Lord help me

The reality of Graduation is becoming surreal. So much to do, So many decisions, So much money!
...Not to mention classes

No Shittin' Ya!

I have spent 14 hours in front of my computer in the last 2 days!!!

I am taking 4 classes this summer, two of which are a measly 5 weeks long. This is really kicking my ass! I can only imagine how many hours it has been in the last 10 days...

Hence my explanation for the lack of posts.

Brief update:

I am doing an internship with The Department of Children and Families as an Child Protective Investigator. I get to go to peoples homes, who have allegations of abuse or neglect, and listen to the investigator interrogate. I really like it and hope to have a job there when I graduate.

When I graduate..... I shall be completed with UCF in December. On top of the massive amount of school work I have I also get to plan (stress) my graduation.

Last but defiantly not least, My Best Friend Lauren has moved away. Just saying it makes me tear up. Lauren and Hailie moved to Ft. Polk, Louisiana with Darrell and Cisco. I know I have not been a great friend the past however long and I have not attended many events, but I want you to know that I love you and want everything wonderful for you. I will miss you greatly but as you said, we get to talk for free!

Hollie too has moved to Jacksonville, to a naval base, with her husband and two daughters. I wish I could be around for this baby birth. I really enjoyed all the great times we all had together the past 3 year (in particular) and I look forward to more.

The end of the term is here.

I am so tired of studying! I feel so numb!

My finals are approaching. I have taken my first this morning (Psychology of personality) . I don't want to speak too soon but I think I did pretty good preparing myself for it. I have one more tonight (Corrections and penology) than one Tuesday afternoon (psychology of prejudice) and the last one Thursday night (abnormal psychology). Wish me luck! I really want to keep my honors.

Psyc Club

My first club (excluding girl scouts). I had been doing some research on the Psychology Club that UCF has to offer. And after many, many e-mails I decided to join. By doing so it is going to help my chances of getting into Grad school, not to mention, helping the community. This is just going to benefit me so many ways.
So tonight was my first go at it. Let me say that you are reading the blog of the first member of Cocoa's UCF Psyc club as well as the only. Apparently, today was the first day and no one could make it to this meeting. So we will see what this will bring to my ever exciting UCF life.

Ta Ta to the Summer Term

One more class and it is all over for for 20 some odd days!
Last night was the final for my American Sign Language class. We had to stand in front of the class and sign a song. I am glad that I went first because some peoples songs were breath taking. (I did Jack Johnson, Do you Remember?)
So far 2 classes finished and 2 classes passed! One more to go. Wish me luck for my last final Friday night.

A New Beginning

Erase and start over....sometime that is the cure. (At least I hope so)

Saturday I started the quit smoking pill. So I am on day 3 and all I can say is I have never felt nausea like this. It should pass soon. Let's see how I do.

I lost my honors in Psychology this weekend. You can not fall below a B in any psychology class and I am pretty sure I did. It is my own fault. But it is a really big bummer. I really did want it. My whole reason is if I am going to go to a less credible school I should at least kick ass in it. Oh well.
