farewell ap psych.

Well this is it. Finals are next week, and AP psych is sadly coming to an end. Let's reflect upon all the wonderful memories of first semester.

What I like about AP psych:
is that ap psych really knows how to excite. it goes up down turn around really really blows my mind. aha. if you didn't realize, I was trying to copy a song with that.... yay for my acoustic memory! =) I really enjoyed the section on sleep. I always thought I slept at funny times because I would 'nap' after dinner wake up at 12 then go back to sleep at like 1. I guess I was just optimizing my sleeping time. Before Thanksgiving break, I really like watching Sybil. It was so good =) THIS BLOG IS FUN TOO! playing around on the psych websites - taking the IQ test! haha :D

And then I remember my favorite project and then I don't feel so bad:
I would have to say my favorite project was making the motivational video for next year's class! =) go ap psych! My group members and I tried to be really creative and got our inspiration from PHINEAS AND FERB! woot =) I wonder whose we will see on the VEN >.<

What I didn't like about the class:
Lots of notes, interesting notes, but my hand would tire from writing so much xD I also didn't like the noisy people >.< because it was hard to hear and it annoyed me.

To leave out or not to leave out:
I thought everything was important. Don't leave out anything! =)

IDEAS FOR NEXT YEAR:
Maybe you could set aside some time to watch the motivational videos! =)

FINALS NEXT WEEK >.<;
can you go over the different learning perspectives?!?
Next year, instead of AP psych for second period, I will be having AP Eco!! so yay, I still get to have Mrs. Halfen as my teacher. Kudos to that.

farwell class members of ap psych second period! <3 =)

Random Psych surfing =D

Lateral Puzzle IQ Test
I got higher than expected 7/10 It might be because I guessed on the reasons for some of the questions. I would get the question  right but for the wrong reason. 
Number Correct                 IQ and Percentile
     0-1                   IQ   0 - IQ  90 / 0-25
     2-3                   IQ  90 - IQ  110/25-75

     6-7                   IQ 138 - IQ  150/99-99.9
     8-10                           IQ 150+/99.9+


Brain bashers: 
Read this out loud.
this website is fun! the first thing I went to was the optical illusions page. most of them made my eyes hurt though =/ I also went to the 3-d seeing eye page where you put your face super close to the screen and gardually move away in order to see a picture... sadly I couldn't get it to work. It was probably because it was on the computer and not on acutal paper. There was also this random page called a million clicks. It was basically how long someone would just sit there and click this button until it has been clicked a million times. I clicked it about 100 times just for fun xD Look at the picture first....... did you notice that there are two "the's"?!?! my sister and I both didn't notice. gaah! so weird xD

LUMOSITY!
haha this site has a lot of cool games. I chose the memory game where you have to click which squares had the dots previously in them. I could only get to 10 >.< there was also the "does this look like the previous picture" game. At first I was pretty bad at it and kept getting Xs, but after a while, I got the hang of it and performed much better. so yay =)

the handwriting article is interesting. it seems true enough. Whenever I try to learn something, I write it down. For example, for learning vocab, I made flashcards so that I could write the words and definitions. Sometimes I would rewrite the word over and over again. Writing also helps to learn physics equations xD I wonder if having many different types of handwriting affects the brain's learning capabilities also? I guess it is still different shapes... if you can call letters that? haha. I have so many different handwritings like the my hand hurts from writing handwriting aha.

>.< Narcoloepsy sounds really dangerous and scary. I'm so glad I don't have it. Not being able to see or move or talk while still being conscious would really freak me out. Plus I don't think I'd be able to live my life normally because I'd be too scared to go anywhere for fear of collapsing. I applaud her.
