I am currently writing an essay for my child psych class on proposed changes to the DSM-IV TR; I feel like they have been coming out with the DSM V for ages. Specifically I am looking at Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). I almost started reading the psychopathy stuff again, but then I remembered it had to be applicable to children (psychopathy cannot be diagnosed in people under age 18).
And I just heard someone's phone buzzing in another room. These walls are thick but not insulated at all. Last year I could feel when the person in the room next to ours leaned up against the wall, but it was a quite dorm.
Really, I don't understand; one (or two?) of the guys in my hall get drunk and hang out with friends on the weirdest days. Sunday nights. Wednesday nights. Don't they class the next day? Or do all five or so people that gather have schedules that leave both Monday's and Thursday's free? Maybe it would be less annoying if I liked their choice in music...
sorry, complaining. I was running fever last night and most of today. I woke up in the middle of the dark and thought I was going to throw up until I dumped a mug of water on my head. It cooled me down enough to fall asleep. I reserve my right to complain today.
I got my absentee ballot for MA in the mail! First election I will be participating in ever, and both the Presidential elections and the MA senate elections are not too clear in terms of outcome. There are some questions I have no information on, like who to elect for sheriff. The ballot measures are intresting too (or you, know, some of them are). Here they are:
1) Right to Repair: A YES VOTE would enact the proposed law requiring motor vehicle
manufacturers to allow vehicle owners and independent repair facilities
in Massachusetts to have access to the same vehicle diagnostic and
repair information made available to the manufacturers’ Massachusetts
dealers and authorized repair facilities.
A NO VOTE would make no change in existing laws.
2) Death with Dignity: A YES VOTE would enact the proposed law allowing a physician licensed
in Massachusetts to prescribe medication, at the request of a
terminally-ill patient meeting certain conditions, to end that person’s
life.
A NO VOTE would make no change in existing laws.
3) Medical Marijuana: A YES VOTE would enact the proposed law eliminating state criminal
and civil penalties related to the medical use of marijuana, allowing
patients meeting certain conditions to obtain marijuana produced and
distributed by new state-regulated centers or, in specific hardship
cases, to grow marijuana for their own use.
A NO VOTE would make no change in existing laws.
