It is a week until HSC starts and what am I doing?

Let's take today as an example.

> Wake up at the glorious, unearthly time of 9:30am
> Eat, watch TV, some 3u, play with my emails until 1. At which point I tune in to my beloved TVB series.

> Module A X] *Feels accomplished*
> Shower, dinner, TV.
> Looks up fanfiction, at which point discovers the concept of 'flashbulb memory'
> Spends half an hour looking up case studies on said concept, before giving it up as a lost cause and resorting to pestering bloggers with emails.

> Decides to stalk the LiveJournal of one of these bloggers.

> It is now 11pm T.T

If I say I should be studying, you're all just gonna give me the look that says then-do-it-and-stop-talking-about-it. Thereby, I will say I REFUSE. Till tomorrow. Which will probably just look like today. Bleugh. I try.

I wish to blog about the most interesting thing that I've learnt about for awhile. Even with all the amazingly (sarcasm) interesting content the Board of Studies can throw at us, yes, I managed to find something more interesting to me.

Why am I so interested in this thing called 'flashbulb memory'? (It's a memory which is particularly clear because it is created with a significant event). Well, ladies and gentlemen, this might and will bore you, but it would seem a memory study was conducted after the 9-11 attacks. I'm waiting for the day a detailed file appears before me but from what I've scouranged from articles and the likes, it firstly asked for peoples recounts of where they were, what they were doing and such on the day of the attacks (Autobiographical vs event memory). These were recorded. Then, some years after (I think there were several tests, some 1/2, 1, some 3, some 4 years after) the same people were asked again what they were doing. The shocking thing is, many of them had memories that were corrupted, giving answers which obviously clashed with what they'd said before. In the short term tests, miscalculations of time in these flash memories were influenced by the proximity to the twin towers.

I'm extremely eager to get my hands on a report about this. The psychological consequences are amazing, extending even to the point that people's construction of memories impacts on actual memory, corrupting truth. Now you're probably looking at the screen thinking Lisa's lost it. And I'll admit what you already know, I'm a bit tipsy, alcohol does that XP

If you can't tell I'm joking, if you think I actually drink, you've been listening too much to Thomas' ramblings that I am an alcohol addicted nutter. I, with great dignity, refute any such claims.
