Eyup :)
So, by the looks of things, second year has really kicked
in. I've submitted my first essay of the year (the evolution of intelligence)
and my first lab report. It’s amazing how fast I've forgotten how to use SPSS
over the summer, but I’m quite surprised at how readily I've picked it up
again.
We've had our portfolio work assigned for two modules,
Developmental & Social Psychology and Individual Difference. As it turns
out, they are both asking for a couple of shorter essays (500 words) and a CV.
A couple of us have started going to the library at the same time each week so
we can get it done – and to be honest I’m enjoying the work in developmental a
great deal more than I thought I would. We’re doing all sorts of stuff, from
how babies respond to monkey calls to adolescence.
While I am going on fewer nights out because of the work, I
have made an effort to get involved in societies! As I’ve said before, I’m an
active member of LGBT, so lots of socials and society meetings for that. I’m
branching out into sports though, which isn't like me! This week I've joined
the Judo Society (http://www.suug.co.uk/sports/judo/),
so I will be donning my Gi and getting back onto the mat after a couple of
years out. Back to white belt for me!
On a side note, we have an Open Day coming up! It’s on
Saturday 23rd of November, and is across all three campuses. There
will be staff on hand to talk to about course options, campus and accommodation
tours, and plenty of current students (including me!) to talk to about what
life is like here. So if you get the
chance, feel free to book a place on the Open Day online, or pop down on the
day.
Ciao for now!
