So the latest chapter in class was talking about habits and learning. Ive realized a lot of the things I've done over the years is because of habits I've learned or picked up. I never ever realzied that some of the stuff I did was even a habit I learned some where along the way. Now the true test or whatever you want to call it is how can I change those habits and learn better and new ones? A lot of people in my class on the discussion broad  have all kinds of Habits and things they would like to change or fix. So far with this class i've learned a lot of things about people and myself that I never knew or even realized. Some if it is small stuff but never the less its still things that I just over looked for one reason or another. To me most habits people have developed have happened over time not just over night. So breaking some of the habits maybe a little hard for people. Like for me I have a couple of habits that I'm going to work on and I also saw some of my class talk about these habits as well example biting my nails. As silly as this many sounds a lot of people have this habit habit for one reason or another. When I bite my nails nine times out of ten it's because I'm nerves or stressed out about something so I end up biting my nails and I don't even realize I'm doing it. Then let's take for example my father and his sister they but have the same habit of picking at their nail beds when they are nerves or mad about something. After reading this area I've watch random people to see what habits people have when they are mad,sad, or nerves. After doing this for a couple of days at work and even with my family a lot of people have weird habits.  Well this weekend im taking my mid term and i'm SO not ready to take that test. I know i'm going to have to study my butt off so I can get a passing grade. With my math final being thursday i'm just a bite nervse with both of them. fingers are crossed that I get a passing grade on them both.

Chapter 6

Okay so the last chapter we had to read in psychology was okay. For whatever reason couldnt really get into reading it though. I know this isnt good, but the first chapter was about  women getting pregnant and how the womens makes everything inorder to carry the baby was pretty cool to read about. I wish they would of gone more into detail on the whole  different stages of the human life. It was cool though to read about the studys they did and and how monkeys did or not react to the fake mothers. When it comes to child reacting to different people I can kinda see how it doesnt matter who picks them up when they are very little to feed or rock them to sleep. Once children get a little older and begin to relaize faces I think its harded for children to just go to any adult that wants to pick them up or feed them. So that study with the monkeys did make me think about how children act when their new borns up until there about 1 year of age. I'm not a mother and I cant relate much to the whole given birth topic in this area. One thing that I found to be really internesting was the fact that the human brian still continues to develop into our 20's which I never knew. I'm in my late 20's and I make me think about myself and how much my mind how changed since I was in my teens and how I better understand what I read and learn. When it comes to parenting they had a whole area on this topic in our text book which talked about two different styles of parenting and how one was better then the other. When I grow up my parents weren't either one of those styles that the book listed which were authoritarian & authoritative. I would have to say my mom did most of the parenting or I should say rule making in my house when it came to rising me. My mother's style of parenting was in the middle of those two because she did try to example and reason with me to find a happy middle ground. If for whatever reason this did not work out and I was still not listening or doing something I shouldn't there would be a punishment that followed. After reading this area one of my friends had a child 2 yrs ago and she let's her son rule her life and he is a beast on wheels. So I say her style of parenting was more along the lines of permissive. Which I was shocked she was that way with her child because when she grow up her parents were very demanding of her and her 7 siblings.Now we have to read chapter 7 and tested for the mid term test. I hope this next chapter is better. Like ive said before I just cant get into this class for some reason. I dont why I find this class so hard and I just cant get into most of the chapters. Hopefully Now that this will be my only class as of Feb 27th maybe ill be able to get more into this class. :/

Chapter 5 psychology

So i just got done with chapter 5 in psychology and for once I can say i got into the chapter and even the discussion board which so far I've had a hard time getting into. this chapter was great and i learned a lot of things from sleep disorders to even psychology drugs. Our discussion board had a really good topic about dreams and cannabis being used to medical use or not. Im a big believer in the use of medical cannabis because of the benefits it has showed that are good for people and even children.  A couple of people in our class seem to disagree with me on this subject which I can totally understand and everyone has the right to agree or not but it seemed like some people were getting a little to personally on the whole topic laugh out loud, but it was cool to see what people write about from there dreams to their feeling on the cannabis topic.  One thing I still don't understand about dreams is that when you wake up from having one for what ever reason and then after say like 5 to 10 mins later you fall asleep again how do some people pick right back up in the same dream theywere having   and in the same place? To me this is totally crazy. After reading some of the post on the board I saw I wasn't the only person who this has happened to . Which I found was cool and so the person and myself got into a chat about this and why we though this was happening were we would get up and then after some period of time go back to bed and pick up with the same dream and neither one of us really has a explain on why or even how. The guy did bring up a good point though which I never though about and he said maybe its because it was the last thing we were thinking about so thats why we picked back up with the same dream. May he is right but then again maybe there is a even better reason for this which is still not answered at this point in time. Other then that psychology is different then I though it was going to be and even kinda weird or hard at times. Like for whatever reason i just cant pick up the reason behind why psychology is the way it is. I guess this wont be one of my stronger subjects in school. Which sucks because i want to learn as much as  I can from this class but i just cant relate to it at all :/

So after reading chapter 4 it had me like WOW i never knew that. well for the most part I knew basic stuff about hearing, the eyes, taste and touch but I never realize how different people or even animals for that matter use all our are senses. I really liked reading that chapter. I found it so cool on how your hearing or even your eyes took the stuff we see and makes sense of it in our brains. I know this is going to sound funny but I never looked at any of the 5 sense as anything more then something we just did. The more and more i hear in the psychology book it how me thinking a little bit different and looking at things differently as well. I had a good think making the Children's book on the Auditory system until i had this mass problem trying to email the project because the file size was to large and the Broward email wouldn't take it :/... so that was just a little ANNOYING.

So when it comes to our 5 different senses I really liked learning about hearing and our eyes. Reason for this is because I have bad vision and my younger cousin is hearing impaired since he was born. So I really wanted to understand as much as I could because of these two things which impact my life everyday. When it comes to me cousin and being deaf I totally took a different look on the whole thing reason for that was because with my project I had to ding into it a lot to make a children's book to example to them how the whole hearing process works. So after reading and then finishing my project for class I totally understand how hard it is for my cousin with everyday life even though he has hearing aids which kind of help with his hearing it doesn't really help 100%. My aunt also sent him to a special school from children who are hearing impaired and now I know why he doesn't like to talk much to people he doesn't know and why he is always looking at people's lips when they speak. I never asked him why he did that or how it was to be deaf because of the fact he has been like this he's whole life and I never though to ask him questions about it until this chapter and project.
