Week 6

I really enjoyed AP Psych and everything about it! I found that reading the chapters was not a chore, but it was actually quite interesting. I loved Ms. Halfen's enthusiasm and all of the fun videos in between notes that we had. My favorite project had to be the soundtrack, because I really have a passion for music and it allowed me to express it in an educational way. In choosing what to do during review week, I think I would like to watch the video about the woman with 16 personalities. I'm so glad that I took AP Psych this year!

Triggers and Knee Jerk Reactions During the Holidays

The pathological relationship never lies dormant during the holidays.

This article explains how the holiday season can stress a lot of women out. With shopping, decorating, and caroling to do, this time of year can be a little less than wonderful for working moms. The woman who wrote this article did a study on women during the season and found that many women were not only stressed, but also sentimental.

The Sequel to It's a Wonderful Life
This article talks about the rumored new sequel to the christmas classic, It's a Wonderful Life. The author explains that this is an affect of what they call to be the "copycat" syndrome. He claims that the writers of this new movie have simply run out of ideas, so they played on the idea of nostalgia because it is something familiar.
