This week I am preparing for my travels over to lincolnshire to meet 4 of my friends. Lynn and her mother, Alice. Daisy and her mum Nichola and Mark who is a long-time friend of Lynn. To be honest, I see Lynn more like a sister than a friend. I think I’ll probably see Mark like a brother too. Lynn is very good at guiding me when I need it. We also end up being daft too! It’s going to be so exciting giving Lynn and Alice their gifts. I love hearing reactions of joy when people are given something they like.
On a serious note though, I’m trying to rebuild my singing technique and learn some new repertoire so that I can once more enter the Manx music festival, as well as perform in certain places. I haven’t really sung in public much so yes, I’ll be a little nervous. I would love to be a professional singer, but would love my career in psychology too. However, there are things or rather, people, who are trying to hamper every bit of my efforts and it’s seriously not worth their while, because no-matter what they try and throw, I will always win. I will not be beaten down by idiots! They think they’re winning, but no one is interested in their silly claims. But they’re too silly to figure that out for themselves. Perhaps they need telling. But yes, My fifth year at university starts in October. It’s going to be interesting, as it’s a forensic psychology module, talking about how people in custody are treated as well as victims of abuse in all varieties. Not just that, I’ll be studying things like serial killers I expect. There were studies conducted in the past, detailing the fact that the amygdalae of those who kill are wired differently to ours. These studies were conducted analysing MRI scans and FMR (functional magnetic resonence imagery) It’s all very interesting.
As well as all that interesting stuff, I’m testing a google pixel, which I have just updated to android 13. So far, it is proving to be extremely responsive. The lookout app by Google is able to analyse images with text in them, which is also very good. I’m anxious to install IOS16 as well when it comes out, to hear what the different voices sound like. All in all the next few weeks are going to be emotional, but enjoyable!
