The Only Funny Thing in My Psych 101 Textbook

This was from my junior year of undergrad (the Spring 2008 semester), but I wrote this down and forgot about it until just now:

"Sexual motivation was unaffected, although damaged to the cerebellum presumably would have made copulation awkward." - p. 20 of Research in Psychology: Methods and Design (4th Ed.)

*Note: Psych 101 = The only required upper division psych course at UCB...the dreaded stats class that really isn't so bad...it's just a pain.

*Note 2: Apparently I already quoted this HERE, but oh well.

Lea Michele

I love Lea Michele's (from Glee and Spring Awakening) voice and personality. I really like the top part of this dress too (the bottom was feathery):

Laugh to Keep From Crying

Kinda dramatic title, but that's life as a grad student. lol

Seriously...I've been seeking sources of comfort and amusement to keep myself from going crazy from stress and exhaustion. Here's something funny that happened yesterday in stats lab about this scatterplot from a computer program made of data points in the shape of stars (pretty cool):

Teacher's assistant: "Now what do you notice about this scatterplot?"
Class (at the same time): "There are stars."

Yes. That is exactly the answer she was looking for. And the shape of the data points is so important. HAHA!!

*Note: You can also make the data points into hearts, triangles, etc.

I'll try to paste the scatterplot here someday.
