Rants

Professor Welkowitz started the class off great by handing out chocolates. It was just what I needed after my rough morning. After that tasty treat the class went on one tangent after another... it was all quite interesting especially watching Welkowitz rant!

Somehow we were got on the subject of John Irving's book Cider House Rules. Which was odd because I caught the movie on television this past weekend. Funny how things always seem to come back to psychology! So yea John Irving seems to incorporate political issues into his writing, which led us to seeing how many people in our class are registered to vote, to who voted in the last election to watching Welkowitz rant... funny how things all work out..

The last part of the rant I saw before I had to excuse myself because of an appointment was about a McDonald's commercial. The people in the commercials, according to Welkowitz, are in a manic happy that is not normal for any person. I quote " No one should be that happy... I got a quarter pounder, I'm going to develop obesity and die young.." Now come on isn't it exciting to know your fate lays in part to what you eat?

So as I ran from class in order to catch the shuttle so I didn't have to walk in the rain to my car, I thought of how much it would suck if I missed it. Thankfully I made it to campus safety before the shuttle, so as it slowed to the front of the building I walked to the curb and watched very confused as it drove past me to the end of the street and continued on its way... the best part, it splashed me as it went by and the driver even waved... yea that makes sense.. so I was cold and wet walking to my car... it was a great afternoon

Now my hot chocolate is done so I'm signing off... hope you all had a better day than me! Bye all!
