geeking out
i haven't posted a blog in a while. here's a quick update about my life before i dive into my topic: i spent the summer taking french, and had so much fun. if all the classes at UW were as fun as my french class was, i'd transfer. all you folks who made it as fun as it was, you know who you are. :) in september, i started nannying a few hours a week for a family with two boys who are 6 and 9 years old. i love nannying, because it helps me to reclaim my youth in ways that i wouldn't be able to otherwise. these boys are quite in touch with their boy-nature, and we spend the small amount of time we have together playing football, soccer, basketball, video games, and anything else we find time for. today, the oldest boy taught me how to throw fade and post routes. needless to say, these kids open me up to a brand of fun i haven't experienced in a while. now that it is october, i'm halfway through fall quarter of my senior year. the major that i designed has finally been approved, and i will be graduating in the spring. PRAISE GOD. and thus begins the transition into the topic at hand. now that i can see the end in sight, and my real goal of graduate school on the horizon, i've noticed myself geeking out a bit more on the things i find super interesting. namely, television. how do i geek out on television, you ask? because i want to go into counseling psychology, there are certain shows that most people would classify as "guilty pleasures" that i enjoy watching, solely for the psychological fascination that it brings me. here's a list of the shows i've been enjoying lately, for the way they make me think: dexter real housewives of beverly hills paranormal state sister wives celebrity rehab jersey shore (yeah, i said it. judge me) again, aside from dexter, i don't watch these shows for the quality content. half the time i'm watching and my mouth is hanging open in shock at the behavior of the people onscreen (especially the reality shows). but i find it fascinating. call me a psychology nerd. i'll own it. p.s. what's the real reason i'm writing a blog post? procrastinating on a homework assignment. duh. ;)
