Happy Valentines Day


(12:28:14 PM) Jeff: how's it going?
(12:50:49 PM) Me: Hey
(12:51:00 PM) Me: Was just eating lunch.
(12:51:15 PM) Jeff: what did you have
(12:52:11 PM) Me: Sweet Italian sausage with noodles and a four cheese cream sauce.
(12:52:23 PM) Jeff: cool
(12:53:47 PM) Jeff: when you were a undergrad did you ever use a system called CPR
(12:54:48 PM) Me: cardiopulmonary resuscitation?
(12:55:01 PM) Jeff: lol no callibrated peer review
(12:55:22 PM) Me: No
(12:55:54 PM) Jeff: ok ok we use it in astronomy and we grade other studedents work and get graded on how well we grade
(12:56:39 PM) Me: I see
(12:57:55 PM) Jeff: I made a 94 but my professor is just going to give me a 100 so my class grade right now is a 100
(12:58:39 PM) Me: Why is he going to give you 100 instead of 94?
(12:59:07 PM) Jeff: just because he can lol i don't know the reasoning behind it
(1:00:07 PM) Me: Seems like you would care more if he decided to give you a 90 or 88 instead of 94.
(1:00:13 PM) Jeff: he said if we made a 70 or above we get 100 if below a 70 a 0
(1:00:32 PM) Me: I see, you didn't mention that before.
(1:00:51 PM) Jeff: he has a weird grading scale.
(1:02:29 PM) Jeff: Im learning lots of cool and fun things in psychology
(1:05:41 PM) Me: Such as?
(1:07:48 PM) Jeff: depression, Unipolar and bi polar , euthymic, cyclothim, diasthymic, and major depression, as well as spent three days talking about suicide. Now we are learning about pain disorders and stomatoform disorders
(1:09:21 PM) Me: I've always felt that suicide is one of the coolest/most fun things to talk about... /sarcasm
ha
(1:09:39 PM) Me: Depression...that's depressing
(1:12:29 PM) Jeff: well it's interesting in the fact that we don't know much about suicide we can't quite understand it. The only real way to study it is to let more people commit suicide but ethics will not let psychologist do that. they have to intervene. We were learnign about electroconvolsive therapy in how it helps snap people out of suicide because it reactivates the part of the brain that wants to live
(1:13:21 PM) Me: Morbid
(1:15:15 PM) Jeff: on valentines day he told us some sad stories from when he worked in the er as an emergency psyc consult and at the end he was like happy valentines day have a great day with this note of suicide
(1:15:38 PM) Me: wtf
(1:16:05 PM) Jeff: I have weird professors this semestter
(1:16:16 PM) Me: Yeah, sounds like it
(1:19:16 PM) Jeff: I do find this stuff interesting though but it's because its my major and i really like learning why people do what they do and how they think . My professor said with this knowlege no we cant diagnose people but we have alot of back ground that we should be able to recognize symptoms in people and know whats going on with them
(1:21:36 PM) Me: Well that's good that you at least find it interesting. The challenge I guess is to become good at it.
(1:25:08 PM) Jeff: yea true . we are learning a about the dsm guidelines but thats it its just a guideline peoples symptoms don't have to follow what the dsm says. so it can be on the difficult side
