Yup, you read it right people. I am officially saying good bye to Spring quarter, and I’m saying a BIG HELLO to Summer!!! 🙂 Just turned in my last lab notebook and lab report, which officially marks the end of my Spring classes. Woohoooo!! Spring quarter as for many of us – or at least…

My Savior

My little sister, away studying for own finals in Santa Barbara, really had my back this weekend. She managed to acquire five large cases of Monster drinks which she courteously left in Los Angeles for me. We are talking cases of 36. No- I did not drink all of them. The real act of kindness…

Studying Away

  In exactly one week, I will have finished my last final and the 2011-2012 school year will officially be over. I am really excited to go up to my favorite summer camp, Woodward West, the next week and coach gymnastics. But before that, there is work to be done. I was able to get…

Picking a Paper Topic

As the end of the quarter is nearing, it is time to get working on those final papers. Some students dread them; I personally love them because they are usually in lieu of the final. But, I always struggle with picking a topic! Professors will tend to give very vague and open instructions, like pick…

A field trip to the Botanical Garden

I don’t think there was ever a time in my life when I didn’t love field trips.  Whether they were informative and educational or purely excursionary in nature, I always enjoyed taking a day off from the classroom setting and stepping out into the real world.  On Wednesday, I did just that with my Forest…

My new study spot

This quarter, my two south campus classes are both held in the heart of north campus, one in Dodd Hall and the other next door in Bunche. I have a two hour gap between them on Wednesday, and have discovered my new favorite study spot. With the beautiful spring weather, I like to study outside,…

An Interesting Approach to Therapy

I am not quite sure why my Psychology of Fear class keeps coming up as my topic of choice for my blog entries, but here we go again. In reality, it does dominate my life! This weekend, our professor was out of town, so we had a guest lecturer. I was aware I had to…

Test Taking Continues

Yesterday, I took the CSET Multiple Subjects test: it includes of three subtests spanning over English subjects, History, Science, Math, Physical Development, Human Development and Visual and Performing Arts. It was one of the hardest tests I’ve ever taken. Though it doesn’t go all the way up to the hardest parts of every subject it…

Week 5- Halfway done with Undergrad!

This week brings Week 5! That means that I am halfway done with my Undergraduate  years as a student at UCLA. This is definitely ringing a bell that midterms are coming, papers are coming, graduation event-planning is coming, and graduation itself is upon us. It seems like Spring Quarter is flying by! Next thing you…

Interview with a Phobic

In lieu of an in class midterm examination, my psychology of fear requires an interview of a subject with a phobia with a six page write-up of the interview. This has been quite an interesting assignment. I have very little psychology background knowledge, so I have been doing a little bit of extra work just…
