Books, books, books

I am so sick of these books!

[Nat]

The top one look quite colourful and I do like the Indigo and Violet of Management of Mental Disorders 1 and 2.

I did have a really big yawn after reading all the titles though.

[robinwarner]

wow...you sure got your hands full.. come out and visit us.. PLE:ASE

[Nikkers]

Get a Kindle then you wont have to look at the books ...lol
at least I know that when they finally find out Im as crazy as everyone thinks I am ,, you can help me!!! lol

[Kathy A]

@natsnell - I yawn every time I look at them!

[Kathy A]

@robinwarner - I would love to Robin.....maybe one day.

[Kathy A]

@nikkers - funny girl! If you're crazy, I'm crazy!

[Maryellen Bauer]

Nice photo....but it doesn't look like light reading.

[Michael]

Hmm I am afraid if I say anything, I might incriminate myself..lol

[joey d.Muli]

at least they're good as props !!:)

[Nathalie]

You gotto study that? What a pile! :-)

[Kathy A]

@maryellen - definitely not light reading at all
@eos30me - ha ha!
@jodimuli - I knew they would be good for something
@niara - Unfortunately yes, I'm studying my Masters of Mental Health at university.

[Nathalie]

@kjarn Good luck with that! Looks like a sh*tload of material...o_O

[Kathy A]

@niara - thank you very much. It is a huge shitload!

[Jon Calumpit]

Thats alot of science books. Im reading one right now. Anatomy and Physiology. Im studying for my exam later today.

[Lacy Kent]

You're brain is gonna get a major workout and your eye balls are gonna hurt! But.....it seems you are quite the smarty. :)

[Kathy A]

@calumpit - I hope you did well in your exam Jon
@lacedxxoo - thanks Lacy. This course sure is working my eyes and brain.

[Bill Dodsworth]

Haha, funny comments. These would put me to sleep in all of 3, maybe 4 seconds!!

[Kathy A]

@bill_d - hence my difficulties :-)

[Alan Warren]

I'm sure you're doing wonderfully in your studies, Kathy. Some of the books I found most boring at uni are the ones I always refer back to as I semi-recall something I slept through and need to brush up on. Now I find them plenty interesting :)

[Kathy A]

@brizmako - thanks mate. I'm sure that reading them when I want to is going to be a lot more interesting than when I'm forced to!

[Alan Warren]

@kjarn I think that's the key, Kathy. When I was studying, I tended to skim & scan. Arts texts are written in a pattern - "This is what this chapter is about / This is me explaining what the chapter is about / That is what the chapter was about". Reading the first few paragraphs until you find a repeat of information, then the last few paragraphs for a summation - I could get through a lot of print in a very short time and know where to go when I needed it for a reference. Some of Karryn's biology texts from her Masters are written the same way. I'm not sure about practical/forensic psychology, though. Them's dudes be crazy! ;o)

[Kathy A]

@brizmako - some of my books are written like that but unfortunately most aren't! Just a minor point but I'm studying psychiatry not psychology.

[Alan Warren]

@kjarn Look at that, it says so right on the books, too. I guess that means you're going to be able to prescribe rather than just counsel :)

[Kathy A]

@brizmako - that is the ultimate aim. I have been a mental health nurse for many a year, am now doing my Masters in order to lead on to nurse practitioner which is a nurse able to prescribe.

[Sam C-R]

GEEZ!! what a mouthful of titles there!! props to you for doing your masters though... i really should study... something or other! :)

[Kathy A]

@sam_cr - that's exactly what I thought until I started. I'll certainly persevere until I'm finished but.................never again!

[Naomi]

That fills me with dreaddd. Revision sucks. And mental illnesses are scaryyy.

[Kathy A]

@naomi - revision does suck Naomi. Mental illness is only scary because its misunderstood I think.
