| hey...wow today i stayed after school for this lecture this psychology professor was teaching...wow it was amazing...his name is dr. aaron t. beck it was soo interesting...me and shilpa were like in awe...it just solidified my belief that psychology is where i wanna go in life...it was so fascinating... it dealt wit cognitive psychology...and negative thoughts....haha it was funny cuz this one part he was doin this lil experiment wit us..and he's like ok close ur eyes and picture this...ur on ur way to the mailbox and you see a letter from the college of ur dreams....the college you have been dying to hear from.....THE ONE! and u open it ... and it says "congratulations you have made it"....and then he's like ok rite at that very moment..i want you to describe what you are feeling....and haha some ppls were like relieved....this girl said surprised haha we all cracked up....someone else said confused...hehe and then he's like ok now i want you to close your eyes...and think of this....after receiving the letter you went home and told all of your friends and family about ur achievement.....then all of a sudden the next day you get a phone call..and they say "you know we're terribly sorry but it seems we've made a mistake we were intending to reach someone else and reached you instead...sorry" now what are you feeling? what do you want to do? hehe and this one lady gets up and says call my attorney! hehehe and i was like devastated...bitter.....this person said humiliated..which i totally saw cuz omg after u told everyone....how terrible....then someone said something that i thought was pretty interestin...they said they felt...normal now....cuz when they got accepted it's like really?! but there was always that thought at the back of ur head of ... no no they must have made a mistake there's no way i got into THAT college...and i was like wow..it's what he's been talkin bout the whole lecture..setting urself up for failure...and how ppl who do that r more likely to become depressed and stuff....oh it was so fascinating....i loved it. he's considered to be one of the type 5 psychologists of america....i thought that was amazing.....he's won sooooo many awards and stuff....wow i hope im even like a 1/3 as successful as he is....you know? he said something that i thought was really interesting....he said that if you get to the point where all u care about is one aspect of ur life...like if all ur concerned about is reaching success....then you will not be happy....because you will be so preoccupied and stressed with that one goal that the rest of ur life will slowly begin to deteriorate...especially relationships....i thought that was so true....but ya u guys should look him up...he's written like over 17 books...i mean the man's like 81! he's all over the internet btw cuz i did a search....alrite well im done sharing my amazement hehe. buhz byez *can't wait till sunday!* btw he made me a copy of this cd he loves.im listenin to it rite now....im so crazy bout that boy ... sigh hehe tonite's song: what would you do by staind |
