oddly enough, i was required to create a blog which monitors my thoughts, feelings and opinions throughout this semester, as part of one of my units at uni. it was such a strange piece of assessment, - very different to the traditional assignments i am used to such as essays and speeches. nevertheless it had to be done so i set up a wikiversity account and put together my 'e-portfolio' for the subject of social psychology.
i have to admit, i enjoyed it. i'm the long-winded type who talks jibberish for several minutes before i actually get to the point. plus i enjoy talking as much as i enjoy writing. this assignment gave me the freedom to write like i talk. moreover this blog didn't have the anal connotations attached to marking schemes the same way that many other psychology essays unfortunately do. i was pretty much free to explore the course content and relate it back to my own experience.
social psychology is such a unique unit in that it encompasses a vast array of issues from prejudice and the social self to aggression and prosocial behaviour. these are just some of the topics i explored in completing this blog. despite the fact that i winged it a bit, i feel like i made it my own. it is more personal than some of the other students' blogs, and at least it provides you with a little bit of insight into my existence (probably only for the topics i thought were interesting). anywho if you are bored and want to partake in an activity only a tad more exhilarating than playing a game of netball, then read my social psychology blog.
before i sign off, i just want to mention that my raps are currently 3-0 with wins over philly, golden state and the bucks. bosh had a phenomenal week with averages of 26ppg, 10rpg and just under 4apg. he's deserving of player of the week honours. some might say that i am on bosh's nutsack, and they are probably right haha. i think that after winning the gold in the olympics, bosh has come back more focused than ever. he is more poised, more confident, and more determined. he is playing better at both ends and has showed tremendous growth thus far. i think the whole olympics experience has really helped him to become a better leader.
hmmm i guess this entry is going to be longer than i expected haha. anyways i have to say the addition of j.o. has been great so far. he's doing exactly what we expected him to do - amazing defense, decent rebounding, and enough of an offensive threat for defenders to double him. this is great because with both bosh and oneal on the floor, it creates more space for our shooters. i also have to say that bargs has played well in the last three games. he really must have bulked up in the off-season because he looks so much bigger now. bargs had a great offensive outing with 19 points against the warriors where he really impressed me with his aggressive play. the last three games, he hasn't just sat on the perimeter waiting to shoot a 3, nor has he looked like he doesn't belong in the post. bargs has been playing great defense as well. he has 7 blocks in the last three games! amazing!
everyone's been doing their thing. jose has been doing what he does, plus he saved our ass against the bucks last game. i was really impressed with roko during the sixers game. parker and kapono have been shooting the lights out. a.p.'s defense against the warriors was particular exceptional. i could go on all day about how promising this season is looking but it's still early days. i definitely do not want to jump the gun, and despite our current record, the raps still have a lot of work to do. the sixers and warriors outrebounded the raptors by 14 and 10, respectively. these kind of rebounding numbers are atrocious, plain and simple. rebounding is an area which the raps have needed to address for the last few seasons. hopefully we can turn that around in the upcoming games.
currently the raptors have a few days off to rest then it's motown at home next game. let's keep up the good work and get that w. raptors all day motherfuckers!
I'm off to bed.
it's 10 in the morning and I haven't slept because I've been doing this crazy social psychology blog.
peace suckers.
sincerely,
nix to the uno
