Bling of an Eye
Yes indeed. The year has whizzed by and coming up next, we have the Trinity Ball [brought to you by Trinity Student Committee and sponsered by (insert name here)]. Anyway, enough about the ball. I've been slogging almost the entire week because of the ball. Arghz. Today's psych tute had to be the funnest one we had so far. We did experiments, all of which were damn funny.
In the first experiment, we had to pair up. The first person had a map and had to go ask a random stranger about how to get to the medical building. Then he/she is supposed to run off for her/his "bag". The first person would then swap places with the second person, who would approach the same stranger with a bag. He/she would then continue to proceed as if nothing had happened and prompt the stranger to give directions. Basically, the aim of this one was to see if strangers noticed that the two people had switched. HAHA. Of course most of them noticed, but most didn't say anything, just gave the second person a weird look. LOL. So damn funny. Only one pair got away with it. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. And the rest of us were like glancing furtively at the active pair, sitting innocently on the lawn... ... ...
We only did the second experiment once though. One of us was supposed to carry a pile of papers through a busy corridor, then a partner would run up from behind and knock the papers from his/her hands. The experiment was to see if anyone would help the "victim" pick up the papers. Ian said that people were more likely to help if a girl dropped the papers instead of a guy. LOL. POWER TO THE WOMEN! ;) Well, so we did the experiment, and oh man, there was this guy who was only five feet from Mel when she dropped the papers and all he did was glance in her direction and walk off. THE IDIOT! All of us were pissed, even Ian. But the girl and guy walking behind him DID stop to help pick up the papers. SO RUDE. Bah. Haha, for those interested, the experiment was conducted at that busy place where you can walk straight out of Melbourne Uni and reach the tram stop.
All in all, a fun day, muhahahaha. Oh wait. Not really. Spent ONE AND A HALF HOURS DURING HOI COPYING STUFF. That was sick. Child labour man. I mean, instead of us wasting pen ink and slaving away at our notebooks, they COULD have just photocopied the, what, 5 sheets of printouts for us??? Sigh. Gonna have to do HOI during the Melbourne Cup days. Thank goodness for the races. LOVE 'EM. Except for the fact that women always truss themselves up in weird hats with feathers, like peacock-posers. Reminds me of the song:
Yankee Doodle went to town
Riding on a pony
He stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni
Yeah. Pony = racehorse. Town = Melbourne. Feather cap = as is. Hmm. Well go figure, it's dinner.
...is what I said. Savvy?
