One week in Brighton

Some of my work today.

I have been in Brighton for a week now, and I really like it. Even though I haven´t been studying for a long time in Sussex (only 2 days with lectures), I think I will like the course a lot since I already love psychology. This weekend I have been working with the material we learned in the lectures at the end of last week. It goes really slow because I want to make sure I understand everything and all the words. But as long as I get to practice my english at the same time, I don´t mind using a couple of hours to process and rework the lectures. Today I was reading and writing about Freud, who is the first person a lot of people think about when they hear the word psychology. Once I heard someone say that you either like Freud, or you don´t. And I decided that I really like him. Even though someone think we shouldn´t emphasize his theories too much, he made a major contribute to psychology. I think people often tend to talk about the fact that Freud focused too much on sex. If people interpret Freud and look past all the sexual metaphors, I think many will find his theories interesting. And also probably understand why I think he was really important for making the research focus more on the unconsciousness.

This weekend my old school has a reunion for the students who went there last year. They have a choir which each year contains the new students. I joined the choir last year. I only did it for the fun, because I can´t sing!! And it was really fun. So this weekend it is not only a reunion, but also the last concert with the choir from last year. I couldn´t be there because I am in England, but I wanted to join and meet everybody! Even though I have met people in England, I miss my friends from Norway so much!

Last night some of my flatmates and I where just staying at home. We went outside to watch the fireworks from Brighton though. I am not completely sure why there were fireworks by the way. I ran in to get my camera and managed to take a few pictures before it stopped.
