Extra Credit

I'm here tonight seeking extra credit. My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to chose a theory that interests me and spend the next 2 weeks incorporating the core concepts of that theory in my everyday life and interactions, and to journal about that nightly.

The good news is, I've decided to kill two birds with one proverbial stone: work toward some extra credit and alleviate my guilt about not providing T.L. and Delmer something to comment on. The bad news is you'll probably be reading more about Adlerian Theory than you ever hoped to. I find everything about the material I'm learning fascinating, but you may not. I asked Dr. Parsons about injecting humor on a project in another of his classes and was told no, so I'm not sure how I'll approach this assignment.

If it becomes too dry, at least my readers will have a sound substitute for Ambien!

  1. Alderian Theory? Are you kidding? This sounds fascinating and right up my alley. Why, I recall when Kirk, Spock, Sulu, and a crew member in a red suit beamed down to Alderan back in the 60s. It was a fascinating planet and I'd love to hear more about the inhabitants' lifestyles, habits and any theories they might have.

  2. Okay, I'm here and I'm posting. Adlerian Theory? Geez, that is tugging at my memory... I know I've studied that. Why can't I remember it? Oh, well, the old reliable Google will find all for me. Anxiously awaiting an update on how the extra credit assignment is going. Or is that what's been causing you to feel overwhelmed? If so, it's extra credit, let it go...

  3. How could I forget Adlerian Theory? Smack me, please. I so live by the idea that people's lives are governed by their need to overcome their own negative self-perceptions and that we repeat the patterns learned in childhood until we find a new way to live. Not that I buy into all his theories 100%, but I do think he had a lot of good points. Okay, feel better now.
