Other people suck!

So, it's now time for us people who want to do psych honours next year to get off our lazy asses and find a supervisor. This is rather intimidating, I find. To just e-mail a prof and ask if you can be their honours student next year is a little creepy I think. But it must be done. So I e-mailed my memory prof, Dr. Bodner, on Friday expressing an interest in working with him, masked in an e-mail about a course he's teaching next semester so I wouldn't feel like a loser. He e-mailed me back saying two other people had already asked him and to talk to him in mid-November about meeting to discuss the matter. I have to admit, he's being very fair by hearing everyone out before he chooses, but it's nerve wracking! If we can't find a supervisor, we can't do honours. If I don't do honours, that means all options next year and graduating in December. I don't want to graduate in December. I want to do honours. I also want to get the names of those chumps that are trying to steal my supervisor! Ahem... I mean... Oh I'm just worried. I hope it'll be okay, but he said he's only choosing one or at most two honours students. I'm hoping that by taking memory this semester and topics in consciousness next semester he'll realize how not flaky I am and that I'm not an idiot. I bet those other people are all in his 365 class and are totally enamoured with him and don't appreciate that there are other people who've planned their university careers down to the last exam and might get screwed over!!! Goodness gracious. I need to stop thinking about this or I'm going to go crazy. I'm sure whatever happens will be for the best. Right? Let's hope so. If I didn't do honours though, I could go to New Zealand for many months. That would be fun. So much waiting and uncertainty. Sheesh.

Well, I should go do homework so I don't fail. Then no one will want me... Sigh. So many papers, so little time.

Well, I did some testing tonight for my child development class. It went pretty well, but I definitely do not think I want to be a developmental psychologist. Kids are cute, but I don't think I could work with them for the next 30 or 40 years of my life! So I can add another thing on my list of areas in psych where I don't particularly want to work. But who knows, right? Some people ending up doing the exact things they said they didn't want to... Meh... My career is at least 6 years off. No need to worry yet.
On a happy note, 4 midterms down, 3 to go! Yay! And then it will be finals and then new classes! Ones that might not be so boring. But I guess most of my classes are okay. I'm thinking about taking a consciousness class next semester, but it's on Tuesdays and Thursday from 5-6:15. Yuck! But I guess we'll see...
