So very cold. Wearing skirt to class this morning was v. bad idea.

Got assigned midterm paper topic for Psych. Will talk about it at length later, as I'm going to need all your help.

I go change clothes now and hope there's something hot for lunch.

Psych Paper Help

So, who-all here would like to help me gather data for my Psychology of Creativity midterm?

For those interested, the final resulting paper will deal with creativity, its origins and its results. (Yes, I do have to be that vague, so as not to bias the test results.) I will be gathering three types of data. The first will involve my administering a psychologically standardized creativity test. The second will be my asking you to describe some of your most prominent creative achievements to date. For the third, I will be asking you to tell me a little about your personal history.

Disclaimer: You, the subject, retain the right to not talk about anything you don't want to talk about. I will not pressure you to go on under any circumstances. The results of the study will be entirely confidential - I will be using aliases in my writeup, unless you specifically request I use your real name. The paper will only be seen by me (obviously) and my Psych professor. It will not be used for publication.

If you have any questions or would like to participate, please comment here or e-mail me at lbenderskaya@bennington.edu. I greatly appreciate all your help.

Don't the people in my fucking house ever fucking have work to do? Ever? Because clearly what the rest of the world needs is idiots running screaming through the hallways. If they keep me from getting my work done or getting any sleep before my hell day again, I'm seriously going to kill someone.

I love art majors, but I bloody hate living with them. No reading or written assignments for them, so whenever they're in the house, they can feel free to make asses of themselves. At least the visual arts people have to spend a lot of time in VAPA daily. The performers have no work at all, unless they're rehearsing. Why, yes, I resent that.

And you know what? I still think it shouldn't preclude them from basic human decency and consideration for others.

You know what? Fuck it. I'm not locking this.
