Learning

So I'm taking PSYCH 401, Clinical Psychology, with a small thought in the back of my mind of at some point finishing my Psych degree. As I attend the lectures, I am amazed how much of what I learned 20 years ago still applies, and is coming back to me. Test construction, test reliability, validity, observational assessment, psycho analysts and Freud, Skinner and the behaviorists,...

The new topic is Ethics, I can't remember we talked much about ethics. Professional duties and obligations, responsibilities, yes. Ethics? Maybe that was another course I just hadn't taken yet?

I quit psychology, about 2 courses shy of my "Propedeuse", whatever that equals to in North America - looking at the programs, it seems to be about a Bachelors. Reading about rats with wires sticking out of their brain, or cats with their visual cortex removed make me sick to my stomach, and I couldn't do it anymore.

I'm hugely enjoying the course. And amazed at what I still remember.

And one would think, that someone with a memory like mine, would remember to remove the bit of paper from the bottom of the BBQ pork bun. Which actually doesn't taste quite as bad as one would think.
