I Brain You?

When a catchy, new song plays on the radio, it usually sticks in my head for quite some time. I may even walk around the house singing it nonstop. A song about psychology that I attached is the complete opposite. It is titled, “The Psychology Love Song”. The voice of the man singing it is a bit…oh how can I say this kindly…BAD. However, the informative lyrics are quite useful. Although we haven’t talked about some of the psychological aspects he sang about, I recognized some vocabulary. At the beginning of the song, he sings of how our brain really is what loves, not our hearts. In recent reading in the “Psychology” book, David Myers also explains that our brain is what truly falls in love. We all know that this is of course true, but the heart still remains that symbol of love. Really, I can’t even imagine what Valentines Day would look like if brains were everywhere instead of hearts. Hm, I heart you…or I brain you?

So far the course has been decent, no complaints from me. I expect to have tons of information thrown at me throughout the rest of the year. Hopefully I can handle it. This is actually my first AP course so I’m not quite sure what to expect. The Moodle quiz made me realize that everything will be very knit-picky and I really need to know every single detail from both books. I know I’m not a very good test-taker so the AP test is definitely something I’m dreading.

It’s almost ten on a Friday night.  I had a long day. After I’m done posting this I’ll probably pack up for our dance competition tomorrow. I’m sure it will be an even longer day, but I’m anxious. Anyway, I can assure you this, “The Psychology Love Song”; not on my top played list.
