First week

Finally it's Friday!

Just four days of school and I'm already exhausted. Haven't even started my service work and my part-time job yet... why do I feel so sleep deprived?

PULSE: journal; "Burial at Thebes" pp. 5-34

History: WORLDS chapter 10; "Burma" chapter 1-6

Methods: PRC chapter 2; QRM chapter 1-2

Psychology: Myers chapter 1, 4

Still not in study mode! >_<

I think I like being a Sophomore, but pretending to be a Freshmen is fun too :D

Interesting information from my psychology text:

Life is fastest paced in Japan and Western Europe, and slowly in economically less-developed countries. People in colder climates also tend to live at a faster pace (and are prone to die from heart disease).

Twinning rates vary by race. The rate among caucasians is roughly twice that of Asians and half that of Africans. In Africa and Asia, most twins are identical. In Western countries, most twins are fraternal.

Compared with the average man, the average woman enters puberty two years sooner, lives 5 years longer, carries 70% more fat, has 40% less muscle, and is 5 inches shorter. Women smell fainter odors, express emotions more freely, and are offered help more often. They are doubly vulnerable to depression and anxiety, and their risk of developing eating disorder is 10 times greater. Men are 4 times more likely to commit suicide or suffer alcohol dependence. They are far more often diagnosed with autism, color-blindness, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (as children), and antisocial personality disorder (as adults).
