Alright.. i'm under the Attack of The Insomnia again.This isnt a very good sign because i have an 8 am lecture about the universe,and my classmate is mariane.haha..this is gona be interesting because it's my first time having classes with him.This insomnia, must have been due to the weird concoction my dad gave me awhile ago to curb my gastric mania.

Moments ago, i was on my way back home and i suddenly remembered what Pat had said earlier on in our conversation.He called psychology a "forgotten science" and looks down on those who takes "higher arts" as their major in Melbourne Uni. Ok..that's not very nice of him really; and for that instant, i felt like throwing up. "Forgotten science" sounds like a nicer way to mean pack-up-your-bags-and-get-your-wasted-butts-home-to-where-its-more-useful. It's quite common to find people that have extreme perceptions and impressions of psychology: those who thinks psychology is the explanation to all human behaviours and the door to "read" and control people's minds, and those who think psychology is nothing but a bunch of bagpipes blowing smelly gases. I cant say how much i'd love to punch them in their faces, fumigate their nostrils with ammonia till they realise how much respect they ought to give psychology, and to tell them that we're not some black magic people.(wait, did i say "we"? i'm sorry, i got kinda carried away.i'm merely a psychology student now.)
Psychology involves alot of intuition, that i agree.That is why it is not like any other sciences, because you can't just prescribe a formula or Newton's Law and expect that to work forever and universally. As what Michael Kubovy(1983) once said, "Often formulating something that we all know but have not been able to put into words is a major step in its own right". And i believe that this is what psychology is about.It's like this government that tries to devise a law or policy that would suit everybody perfectly, but finds it almost impossible as every law has its loophole that falsifies its effectivity to engage order in the society. It's failures does not equate to practical extinction, success to enlightenment, stagnation to uselessness, multidimensions to a hoax. Psychology is really more than all that mind reading, but it is not everything either.It's a key to open eyes that only see one picture, the study for meaning of these pictures, so that something nonsensical like the self-mutilation tendencies and anti-social behaviours can have reasons in its own right. And it is the knowledge of good and evil, one that undermines the faith and yet strengthens it too.It's so weird to not recognise psychology, because it's everywhere and its so beautiful. Only if we are willing to appreciate and understand what power it beholds. Only if we are williing to respect the Mona Lisa as not just a woman with its flirtatious smile, but an artwork that requires eternal study to refine the understanding of its Truth.

If you have noticed, i like to skim around the surface and nothin much in depth is covered actually. That's why i doubt i can ever be a respectable psychologist. Parsimony is the essence of psychology: one dot to the other to form a line. And i am often not parsimonious enough because i am easily distracted by my imaginations of what is beyond. I also recognise that my language is my barrier to be parsimonious, that i cant express myself well enough is my greatest deficit. It is quite obvious now as to what my new year resolution should be.
I dont think i can write anymore...i'm getting rusty..my eyes blinkin at 10 bats per minute..my fingers dun belong to me...amnesic of what has happened before...it's 318am..school has started..and i'm gona drive again...
