Last Fall Quarter

It's my first day of my last fall quarter as an undergrad! This is probably over everyone else's Facebook or Twitter updates I'm sure. I've only had 2 of my 4 classes today: Sleep & dream and experimental psych. If ratemyprofessors.com could have an updated website, I'd totally join to review my professors and their classes. Yelping UC campuses-- maybe not a good idea.

Thinking about how Yelp is turning out is scary. They're bribing business owners to join Yelp so those businesses can get rid of bad reviews. I forgot what the consequences were, but the end results of "bad Yelpers" could end up like Christopher Norberg. Poor guy, it's not that I wouldn't take time out to write up a "six paragraph review" about a place, but I wouldn't want to get sued over it. I did end up in a similar situation when someone from a vet hospital contacted me and asked me to "take down my offensive review because I was discrediting the staff". Honestly, if it has to do with the HIPAA or health privacy policies, then don't let medical offices or large institutions post their business on Yelp.

Anyway, I'm off topic. So back to how my first two classes went. Sleep & dream seems like a fun class, we're only relying on one book so I hope this will lighten my workload. My professor sounds like Jimmy Fallon (as pointed out by Charles). Class ended after 30 minutes of introduction. One hour break. My next class is experimental psych, 6 units of pure terror. Just kidding, the expected workload is crazy, but I'm up for it. Our first lab is going to be on the Stroop Effect! That's going to be awesome :). Next week I'll see how child clinical psych is like and ADHD in children at the child development center, yay!
