PsychoPages

This is new for me...I've never tried to look for good pages about psychology just for fun. Anyway, when I read the assigment inmediatly came to my mind this page: http://www.apa.org/. Here you can find ANYTHING about institutionalized psychology. APA is an american organization of psychologist, and maybe one of the strongest in the world. There you can find the latest papers and publications, a varied list of psychological topics, news, journals, "APA style" norms to present written material, well...almost anything about, and I repeat, institutionalized psychology, its theoretical points of view and fields...just one thing, most of the publications aren't available for free.

The other page's the complete opositte of the previus one (and that's the reason I've chosen it): http://www.lacan.com/perfume/index.html. It's is bizarre. This page is the result of a fusion beetwen posmodern art and lacanian theory...spoooooooooky!!. It has no structure, so you just have to ramble around clicking links. There you can find artworks, a blog, poems, conferences, some essays and "happenings" of the "Lacanian Ink", the society this page belongs to.

Caipirinhas and Daiquiris

Weekends are THE moment in my week when I get to do the things I actually enjoy. When we’re in regular classes it’s difficult to go to a bar, see a movie or just stay home and do nothing, because my schedule doesn’t allow me to do a lot. Anyway, our campus has been on strike and “students-occupied” by the last two weeks, so there are special activities, forums and assemblies. For example, this Friday I went to a lecture about the educational crisis, and the gests were Carlos Pérez (a physicist and a philosopher) and Mario Sobarzo (OPECH). The subject it’s interesting, and the discussion between them and the audience was very rich. That night a friend of mine, a former music classmate, invited me to a party in her new apartment to catch up and drink caipirinhas, I don’t get to see or talk to her a lot, so we stayed up all night!!

This Saturday was a very “musical” day. I always have piano lessons that day, right after lunch. I didn’t study a lot this week, so the class was just ok…I need to dedicate more time to it!!!!. Then, at night, I went to a concert in the Baquedano theatre because the played Schuman’s Piano Concerto, among others things. Edith Fischer was the pianist, I’ve never heard her so I didn’t know how it was going to be…but it turned out that she’s great musician with clean technique and a sensitive and moving interpretation. In the concert, Camila (my best friend) and I came across Carola - quite a surprise!, I haven’t seen her I a long time- so we went to Bellavista to drink Daiquiris…mmmm, delicious.

Well, it’s Sunday now and, as usual, I’m in my pyjamas doing all the things I didn’t do or read during the week, I bet you do the same thing in "fomingos"...
