Post #2 - Story of My Life

MY LIFE STORY (or something in that realm)


Starting with the past...

 | - I was born on August 2nd, 2007 around 5.30 in the afternoon. I was...uh, I don't know, but more than 7 pounds   |   at birth?
 | - My first words were "bird" and "fish" - which are honestly some weird first words, but alright, baby me. This is     |   interesting as I quite like birds and fish as animals in general (as opposed to reptiles or something).
 | - I started walking around 10 months old
 | - I started eating solid food at a little after a year.
 | - I started to read and add/subtract at about 3 years old
(and apparently I was a menace)


 | - I started puberty in around 7th grade ~ age 12. This is a weird question - mostly my voice deepening, though. 
 |/

As for my future:
 | - I see myself graduating in a little more than 2 years, top 10% at my zone school. I believe I probably won't         |   have dropped out of school by then or anything else. 
 | - I believe I will probably end up going to UT, getting a degree in clinical psychology, graduating in the Spring of   |   2027, and pursuing a psychiatric residency.
 | - I don't know if I want to marry? I have no idea who, but maybe around age 30 if at all. It will likely be during the   |   summer if I want to have family able to come.
 | - I also don't know if I will have kids. If I do, though, it will be... after I marry, I guess. Whenever that is. As for         |   names, I would probably have no idea and turn to my mom. I may take whatever she says randomly. 
 | - Jobs I would like to pursue would be positions at psychiatric firms, positions in medicine or neuroscience, or       |   even law. I feel pretty driven towards psychiatry because of the number of friends I have struggling with mental   |   health.
 | - I'd like to retire midway through my 50s. I feel like that gives me plenty of time to explore the world and enjoy     |   myself after learning a lot and working hard.
 | - After retirement, I'd like to travel and stay active. Going around the world to see beautiful things in nature and     |   human infrastructure seems like it would be enlightening and enjoyable. 
 | - I think I will probably die from degenerative diseases, maybe cancer in old age or something of the sort.             |   Perhaps this will be in my 80s or 90s.
 |/

Ah, well. We will see, I guess.

    I love the picture of you in the bathtub! The acronym in the background may be a little unsavory, though... I see you already have some plans for the future! Best of luck to you.

AP Psych - Post 1: Icebreaker

Image
Ok, here goes... Hey, guys. I'm Joshua (or Josh, either works), nice to meet you! First, one thing I am proud of... If anything, it would have to be making it to the All-State Orchestra and going to the TMEA convention (which may or may not have been the reason I was gone for the majority of last week). It was about 4 days and 8 hours of rehearsal per day, which, as you could imagine, was super tiring. Regardless, being able to make it to the upper cusp of the state's violists was super affirming, and the experience was amazing!                                                                                            (sorry, I couldn't get one of me in uniform ~  Me ^ ) Next, 4 truths and a lie?  I have 3 ...

Post 9: A Letter to Future Students

  What is your advice for students taking AP Psych in the future? What was your favorite activity or project? What do you think I should leave out next year? Do you have any suggestions or ideas for things I could do next year in AP Psych? Hello, future psych students. There are so many things I could say about this class, but let's start out with my personal recommendations for this class. 1. DO THE VOCAB. I think the hardest thing grade-wise in this class are the quizzes (and the infrequent tests), so having a double count can be devastating. Sometimes, it also counts as extra credit to help out with any low grades too, so it's generally always a win. It would be helpful, though, to ask if it it's extra credit or a real grade. I had enough points for my daily grade average, but I ended up doing the vocab anyway for extra credit instead of the grade I expected it to be.  2. Don't cram everything into the last day. Spend an hour or two knocking out the bulk of stuff ove...

Post #4 - Senses and Stuff

Hi, everyone, Here's a little crazy fact about some stuff that stimulates your taste buds: WARNING: Some of the stuff you might read about might be... disturbing to squeamish people. It may ruin your perception of some sorts of flavors if taken a certain way, so if you don't want to read this blog, that's totally fine. Now, for the rest of you... Since early colonial times, people have enjoyed vanilla flavoring - in food, cigarettes, and more...but without actual vanilla beans. How is that possible? Castoreum. Or, in layman's terms, beaver rear excretions. From the Takeout ( https://thetakeout.com/what-is-castoreum-in-food-vanilla-1839295396), the substance is NOT excreted from the beaver's anal glands, but thanks to its diet of plant matter, the castor sacs create a pleasant smell for marking territory. For a long time, this substance was used for medicinal purposes and even perfume before people picked up on its use as a flavoring. In times past, people had an abu...
