A Wakeup Call

I got a wakeup call today during one of my classes. I gave quiz for the class last Tuesday and today when I got my quiz back, I got 14/20, which is close to C...shiiittt!!!

I was never this bad, and then what did I do to go this lower?

Well, I thought I know this subject, Human Behavior, from my practical knowledge and I can do it, I don't need to read so much and blah blah blah... :-(

I was living in denial; it was a total case scenario of Defense Mechanism. I learnt this term in Human Behavior class today. I knew this term but not the way I learnt today. It is from Freudian Theory of Psychoanalytic. It has four parts under it but let’s not go too much in to theoretical part. It basically means when a person have some kind of shock or Repression, Regression, Projection, Reaction Formation, and Displacement then either they get adaptive or maladaptive...wait, I did get in to some theory hee hee...Oh well!! SO when person go into adaptive or maladaptive mode, they react to things different than 'normal' people do. For example: I chose a Professor Angulo for my Human Behavior (HB) class but when for the first day I went to my HB class, without information we found out that our professor was changed to someone else. I rejected this new professor right away without giving him chance to teach me or prove his abilities to me. I ignored the readings and studies for HB class for two sessions after my first session. On the fourth session we had quiz, which I did try to prepare but with an attitude. I gave quiz and as you already read, I got a very low grade...oh yeah; this was a wakeup call...a call to tell me that WAKE UP TROJAN & STUDY!!!

So as a result of the wakeup call which I got in the class today, I automatically started thinking more and paid better attention in rest of the HB class. Henceforth, I understood what was getting taught and regretted that I haven't been studying properly for HB and I DO need to pump up my game...No more excuses :-)

Conclusion: The Freud's theory which he wrote in 1920s still exist and works on people like moi =)
