Current State of Work

Currently...revising. I've got a few exams coming up, so I've been in revision mode for most of my free days, though of course, with the Easter celebrations, that’s been a little more difficult to do. I’ll be on my way home from my parent’s tomorrow, so I hope to be back on track when the …

What I Do at Uni: Exam Edition

This totally isn't being posted out of order as the first in a series *shifty eyes* *grins* Well, I am in the slow slow process of writing a post about a typical(ish, as every day is different) day at my university, but I thought, having been in the middle of exam season – where activating …

The End Is Nigh

Good luck to all the finalists (I don't know how the system works in other countries, so I guess this is tailored to the UK) who finish their degrees verrryy soon. Me included. 5 exams down, 1 to go. More revision pics. Because revision. Seems to be my life right now. In my gorgeous vintage …

7 Quick Takes: Exam Confidence

7 Quick Takes Friday is hosted by This Ain't the Lyceum. ~1~ Work at things until they’re rote. If revising a certain topic bores you, you're probably at the stage where you understand it. ~2~ Use acronyms, aphorisms, ascriptions.

7 Quick Takes about Schedules, Singing, and Study

Sort of back on schedule, so here’s a summary of my week, hosted by This Ain’t the Lyceum. ~1~ Obviously, the big events of this past week have been heading to Whitby with The Boyfriend last Thursday to Sunday. It’s funny to think that it’s been an entire week already, but the days are passing …

What’s Up, Wednesday? 22/4/15

Well, it's been a while since my last What's Up, Wednesday?. Phew. Nice to have a format, though, so while my schedule's still all over the place, I'll find myself a little bit in these short headings. What I’m Reading Reading several books at the moment, including SPLINTERED by AG Howard (I’m halfway through), ADAMANT …

7 Quick Takes about Human Machines, Squidgy Brains, Null Eclipses

7 Quick Takes Friday of Catholic bloggers’ weeks! Join us! Hosted by This Ain’t the Lyceum. ~1~ Did you get to see the eclipse today? We were invited out of our lecture at 9.30 in the morning— to the face of a blank Berkshire sky. Oh, England. As a friend of mine put it:   …

Mind and World, Part Two: Marx, Adorno, Heidegger

Hello, world, Alex here! Time for this week’s revision post. The exams are nearing with their vicious, invisible claws… Today, I bring you something different from the psychology I normally spout, for, since my first exam is a philosophy one, I’ve been revising philosophy. This piece of thoughts is from my Mind and World module, …

Philosophy, Mind and World

Hello, world, Alex here (evidently, I have been watching too much Vsauce lately…). Time for this week’s revision post. The exams are nearing with their vicious, invisible claws… Today, I bring you something different from the psychology I normally spout, for, since my first exam is a philosophy one, I’ve been revising philosophy.

A Five-Point Revision Post

So, I did some more psychology revision, and, seeing as perception is the most interesting (and I like to claim it as my speciality 😉 ), you can have a short, five-point post looking at the evidence for separate regions and abilities within the visual cortex. How do we know that different regions of visual …
