taperoo2k at 06:44am on 14/02/2006I will need to do these courses to gain a degree in psychology:
An Introduction to the Social Sciences: Understanding Social Change (DD100)
Discovering Science (S103)
Biological Psychology: Exploring the Brain (SD226)
Child Development (ED209)
Exploring Psychology (DSE212)
Human Biology (SK277)
Cognitive Psychology (DD303)
They all add upto 360ish points (courses have points which are used to gain a degree). That's the mountain i will have to climb. It'll take me 5-6 years to get a degree. Which is not bad really, considering it's a distance learning University. Gives me a structure to my day and a goal to work towards.
Something i've been lacking in recent year's.
I've ordered the good study guide and i shall probably get the essay writing guide as well.
I just need to brush up on my english langauge skills (something i used to be good at, not a genius by any means).
I can't see myself as a clinical psychologist though. Far too close to home as the phrase goes. I have my own evil ends for wanting a degree in psychology. Mainly to understand how the mind works and see if i can translate that into helping myself find a way out of depression.
If all goes well i shall start either Discovering science or the introduction to social sciences in october of this year or failing that this time next year. It all depends on how quick i am at registering for the courses.

As for research psychology, i have been thinking about that.
I have always been told that i have a very analytical mind and that I am methodical in my work. I've taken my time over deciding what to do. Some people would have me just do computer related stuff. But i don't want to. It's not challenging enough and i have wasted too much time on this blasted machines.
Anyway time for me to take my medication's and have a day's snooze. They knock me out for 16 hours or more. Not ideal, but i needs my sleep after staying awake for pratically 2 days straight.
