A Triumphant Return...of sorts...

Hello All,

It seems like months since I last posted, and it probably has been. Sorry about that.
The main reason I've been away is because I've been really busy preparing for university and for my final exams which are going to take place in a few weeks.

So I'm going to keep this short and sweet. As I haven't really been doing much expect studying, its the only thing I can really talk about. Currently I study Psychology, Biology and English Literature.
- For Psychology, I have to learn three topics. It starts with an essay section on Schizophrenia; the different theoretical causes, treatments and issues with treatment and diagnosing patients. Then I have a section on Anomalous Psychology, otherwise known as Parapsychology. This is basically looking into claims about ESP, Psychokinesis, Spirits/Mediums etc. I despise this topic with a passion. I find it to be the most difficult topic as there is not definitive proof, its 'too wishy-washy' for a scientific brain as my teacher says. The last topic is Research Methods; this is just a section about how to conduct and analyse experiments. 

- In Biology, we study a range of topics, this exam in particular focuses on nerve impulses, synapses, feedback, protein synthesis and gene technology.
- In English Lit. I've already completed my coursework which was about gender stereotypes in a range on works including Charles Bukowski and Angela Carter. My exam is split into two sections; one essay about Othello and one essay is a comparison between Doctor Faustus and The Pardoner's Tale, taken from The Canterbury Tales. 



I wish I had something more interesting to talk about, but those are the only few things floating around my head at the moment. 
In my brief spare moments I watched Crazy, Stupid, Love. I really did not think I was going to enjoy it, but I found it exceeded my expectations. If any of you haven't watched it I highly recommend it. Its about a middle-aged man named Cal (Steve Carell) who ends up separating from his wife and how he tries to rediscover himself after meeting Jacob (Ryan Gosling) in a bar one evening. It's a good laugh and quite sweet too, also Emma Stone is in it and I'd watch anything with her in it! 


Soon my exams will be over and I'll be able to talk about more exciting things. 
Hope everyone is doing well and hopefully talk to you all soon!

As always, DFTBA
