not to get all self-referential, but I have really been posting pics of me enjoying myself sitting alone in the same sheets reading the same poet since 2017 haven’t I

“To oversimplify the matter, it is as if Freud supplied us the sick half of psychology and we must now fill it out with the healthy half.” - Abraham Maslow (1968, p.5)
I didn’t mean to take a six month hiatus, yet here we are.
It’s good to be back, though.
I’m currently studying Human Development as part of my GDPSY(B) degree, and I’m two weeks into the unit.
This is the second class for 2022 so far. After this, only two more and I’ll be ready to graduate. 👩‍🎓
It has been recommended to me by my student advisor that make an early application for JCU’s Honour’s program in psychology. I think I might? 🤔 It’ll hopefully save me the stress of a big fat exam at the end of a further GDPSY.
And that’s my #studentlife pretty well up to date. How about you?

Honestly, people generally don't want much... They want to eat their favorite food. They want to go to the seaside and smell the fresh air. They want to nap on the grass and listen to music. They want to hold their loved ones in their arms, and be held in return. They want warm clothes, be occupied with a profession/a hobby that does not smother them. They want to feel safe and unafraid. Mostly, they want to live without being ridiculed, manipulated or being forced. And this is why capitalism/modern life overall is so upsetting, depressing and even destructive. Because thinking about how small and simple things you yearn for & how hard it is to even be able to have them really wears you off

I think I can. I think I can. 👩‍🎓

Hello friends,
I'm still chugging along with dissertation research. It's an uphill battle, but today it feels a little easier. Coming to the realisation that I am the biggest hurdle in my progress, development and achievements has been a bit of a big ole head spin.
Studying (living ha!) with mental health "divergences" - for want of a better word - certainly comes with it's never ending challenges. But I am loving how strong I am becoming. It really, truly, has been the most rewarding experience of my life and it's becoming one that I am hopeful I can continue. I know I will in whatever pathway I take but I bloody love studying and learning. It's the greatest privilege of my life.
I'm so grateful to the version of me that followed her gut and went back to school seven years ago. I know I am making her proud and I am so proud of her.
I'm sending you love wherever you are.
Stay safe and be kind,
Love Bean xx

“The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water.” - Sigmund Freud
I’m two weeks into my last subject for the year: Personality. I think it will be one of my lasting favourites. ❤️📚

P.S. Where did October go? 🤔

I know this feeling. Why can’t my assignment write itself?

• 9.19.2021 •
Happy Sunday everyone! I’m working on some homework this afternoon, I’m feeling a bit lost and hoping I understand the assignment correctly. One of the most frustrating parts of university honestly is not always having clarity on your work. I hope everyone is having a productive weekend! 💛

I am researching Bandura’s social cognitive theory of moral disengagement at the moment and I am HERE.FOR.IT. 👏👏👏

I don’t know how we got here, either, but:
Statistics was a hard and painful slog, but I finished with a distinction, so no complaints here;
I quit my job in law;
I started a new job in medical administration;
I’m three weeks into Social Psychology and currently researching my first assignment, a literature review, which may or may not be on minority influence (I haven’t exactly decided yet, even though it’s due next week); and
It’s spring and everything is yellow.
Until next time,
S.xo

Currently researching the first major assignment in my statistics class: A research proposal.
I am looking at the social psychology of loneliness and its relationship to gender, and I have a busy few days ahead as my proposal is due to be submitted by Sunday.
(I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m also confident I’ll figure it out. Chin up, buttercup!).

Right now, life is all H0 and Cohen’s d and p-values, with a bit of t-test for good measure.
[Good thing I have plenty of time on my hands and no excuse to leave the house because lockdown. Thanks covid].

I've added a few more things to my new workspace. I feel so happy with it now. I love it so much when the sun hits it in the morning. It makes me feel so calm.

11 July 2021 …
In the past fortnight I have:
* started Research & Statistics unit as part of my psychology bridging degree.
* had my sister visiting from Sydney, who is now residing with us indefinitely due to a covid-19 outbreak there.
* spent valuable time with my grandmother, who is in hospital with terminal cancer.
* sort of got my head around standard deviations and variance and z-scores (although I need to practice the calculations).
* consumed a copious amount of delicious vegetarian food prepared by my sister.
* drowned my sorrows in g&t.
* studied, studied, studied whilst my sister worked, worked, worked.
* submitted a job application in the public service.
* completed the first of 6 quizzes in my Research & Statistics class (and got a disappointing 75%).
* went shopping for essentials for my nephew B, who has just moved out of home and into his own place (incidentally just around the corner from me).
* set up a study group meet-up for Wednesdays in my Research & Statistics class.
Until next time,
S.xo

I’m currently trying to learn statistics, so of course I’m Austen daydreaming. Fanny Price did not have to know how to calculate variance or standard deviation. Her life therefore would have been easier than mine is right now.
Procrastination is an art form. 🤫

reading and annotating mansfield park. it’s one of my favorite books, and one of my favorite austen novels (is that a controversial opinion?) anyway, bonus points to whoever can guess what inspired my bookmark!
