parenting 101:

tonight was my first parenting class.
honestly, i was very nervous. i had no idea what to expect. was it going to be full of mothers/expectant mothers? did i somehow end in the wrong place? everyone's reactions to me taking a parenting class have been a bit annoying and discouraging.  no, i'm not expecting anything in the next few years. can't someone take a parenting class just to be prepared? well that's not exactly why i'm taking it either. i have to, but now i know why. it's more of a children psychology class.

very interesting indeed. yes, the class was three hours long, but fortunately enough, it did not seem that long. once again, the class was full of mostly freshmen and sophomores. it's becoming a bit discouraging as well, but i know i have to get through these classes in order to get into the classes with all the seniors. i'll get there.

so we had a full blown lecture tonight. it was very interesting. the teacher has two masters in children psychology and has done her fair amount of research and experiments on the subject. now, she's even doing a PHD. so i trust she knows her stuff. we have to do a semester long research on corporal punishment, developing a side on the subject. i'm excited to see exactly what stance i'm going to take and why. i'm pretty sure i know where i stand, but who knows, that could change like my many major changes. my name is Indecision after all.

summary of tonight: i may develop a deep interest in child psychology. graduate school?
