Intro post

[capuchin]

Hey, I just signed up for an account here. I had one, I think, for a little while when this board first started but let it lapse. I finally have some free time this summer so I thought I'd check it out again.

A little about me: I live with my boyfriend and two cats near the Detroit Medical Center,

I'm an undergraduate at Wayne State going for my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology, with a minor in Philosophy. I want to go to graduate school for primatology.

I spend most of my time "working" (I don't actually get paid) in various labs, and am currently trying to set up a study in Brazil next summer for my senior thesis, studying deception behavior in capuchin monkeys.

Most of my free time is spent watching really bad movies on tivo :grin

They are--I went to Brazil about a year ago and the place we stayed in had a mini zoo with capuchins. I got to play "catch" with a corn cob with one of them...

Bad movies are the best :grin

My favorite excuse for watching tivo when I should be studying is that it actually helps my grades because I cease all thinking for a couple hours and in turn recharge...

Hah, I used that excuse when I was taking my Kant class and working on my term paper. People laughed at me but I actually got a good grade on it, which was no small feat for that class

I think sometimes when you're doing a task that's very mentally exhausting that you get to the point where continuing to work is just counter-productive so doing something relaxing is the best thing you can do...

Welcome aboard.

Kant huh? Do enough 'thought experiments' for your lifetime? ....er, I guess maybe you weren't doing his morals system like I was. Nevermind.

Hah, yeah I definitely did. The class was on Critique of Pure Reason, though I actually liked his ethics better when I took it in my intro to ethics class. The Kant class was a really good experience though, in terms of the mental discipline, and it's helping me a lot in my advanced applied stats class that I'm taking presently...

HEY!!!!!!!!! You and I should carpool! I live right next to the church, St. Josaphat's. I mean literally right next to it, in the rectory.

Thanks :grin

To answer some of the questions I didn't cover in my intro:

Where from? Pennsylvania originally, I've kind of lived all over the U.S. though (California, Arizona, Texas, various parts of the midwest, etc.)

Work? Lab rat, basically. I'm a research assistant in a cognitive neuroscience lab studying the effects of aging on the brain. I'm also developing my senior thesis, which is going to be on primate social behavior. I'm looking at the Detroit Zoo but may wind up doing it in Manaus,Brazil next summer if I can get all my clearances. I also volunteer as the secretary for psi chi (the national honor society in psychology) where I do a lot of stuff like process memberships, maintain the mailing list and various administrative type stuff.

Kids? No kids and not married--though I live with my boyfriend who I've been with for about five years

Hobbies? Watching movies, I also like to read a lot, and I spend a lot of time writing

Other Stuff? I think that's about it =)
