First day of class for my three psychology classes. Adolescent Development, where our major term project is developing a parenting curriculum for parents of adolescents. HA!! Isn't that a hoot?!
Sexual Behavior and Deviance promises to be an interesting class. You will receive updates, I'm sure.
Psychometrics. Ugh. The psych department has a new professor, and he teaches both Psychometrics and Sexual Behavior and Deviance. I asked him after Sex class if Psychometrics would be fun like the Sex class. Psychometrics is about testing and assessments. The subject is intrinsically dry. The prof seems to be a nice guy, and will probably make Psychometrics as fun as possible. We shall see what's possible.
Tomorrow it's back to Ceramics. We won't get to play in the mud tomorrow, but we're going to do a bit of research and (I think) get our first assignment.
Enrollment is up significantly this year. The incoming freshman class is three times what it was three years ago. Parking is a bitch! I got to school at 7:00 this morning and had no trouble finding an excellent parking place. My first class on Tues/Thurs is at 8:00, so getting there early is great. On M/W/F my only class begins at 10:20. I'm thinking of going to school at 7:00 again tomorrow and spending the three hours reading and studying, or possibly playing on my computer. :) I like the easy parking.
Which means that I need to go to bed soon. I'm very tired, especially emotionally exhausted from the Sproing drama. Again.

My goodness, you are having as much drama and excitement as I am these days! I am back on the internet now and glad to check in with you. Hope the classes are going well.
My son's violence was triggered by the word "no." He had no control over his frustration when his wishes were thwarted. I wish I could give you the magic formula for how he overcame that, but I really don't know. His camp therapist was a genius.
Be consistent, hold to your convictions, and tell him you love him. That last part is the only thing I knew I was doing right. All the rest is trial and error. Prayers for all of you, sweetie.
You have experience with adolescent development so you should do well in that class.
I love convenient parking too.
I think I would have pulled out all of my hair trying to figure out what do with Sproing. I don’t know how you handle it.
With enrollment up so high I suspect the library is a madhouse. I hope there's another place you can hide out and read. Maybe an empty classroom?
I want to hear what Deviance means nowadays.
In my training (back in the 80s) Deviance was more or less defined as anything but heterosexual intercourse.
And it was all signs of neurosis/needed treatment.
You sound busy as I am. I hope school is a satisfactory distraction for you.
