yencilbox.
earlier as i was reading up on my depression article, i realised that if i really do go overseas to study in the future, i might get end up getting depression man. morbid as it sounds but even here at home, i do feel the drop in mood when the sunsets. talk about seasonal depression.haha. if the blogging assignment is for abnormal psych i might just ace it. laughs. i should probably go find out which part of the brain is responsible for obsessive broodings. i'm guessing its the frontal lobe cos thats the part responsible for ocd. not that i have ocd. i'm just saying.
since we're on the topic of ocd, allow me to entertain you with a patient's story in my textbook. i cannot remember his name so i shall call him Mr M. (they always alphabetize them in the textbook anyway). Mr M. has a long history of ocd and that eventually led to depression cos he was frustrated that he couldnt control his obsession. so one day he decided to kill himself by sticking a gun into his mouth. but instead of killing himself, he shot through the roof of his mouth and into his brain, hitting the frontal lobe and lesioning away the
exact part of the brain that causes ocd. and he was cured. and he didnt die. thats uber amazing i say! i'm guessing the physical damage wouldn't be pretty but what the heck man he's cured! and thats the story of Mr M.
anw, socialpsych lecture today was painfully long. and i'm not even saying mental pain, it became physical pain. spent 3 hrs going through what we've already learnt in yr1 intro to psych1 and i'm guessing we took an even longer time today. was so tempted to siam during break but resisted it and got hated by cynthia.suffice to say she was in more pain than me.hahaha. thankGod i was sitting next to her..totally saved my life in more aspects than one. for you who've read till thus far, i can't believe you read all the way through cos i'm basically just rambling and needed something to do to take my mind off anal thoughts. was supposed to go slp it off but its almost 1 and i'm feeling wide awake. think i'll go play sims2 for abit. -walks away-
oh p/s: i've a yellowpencilbox courtesy of tianping and its uber bright. i shall ignore the fact that its acs colours and just embrace the yellowness of it. hahaha. i love my yencilbox!
