No quiz this time... this time I have stuff to write!
During my study break in the library today, I decided to give my mind a break from all the psychology I'd been reading and started to look at my characters for my novel. I began drawing out the family relationships each character had and as a result of my concentration, I sort of lost track of time... say... 45 minutes? I know, I'm so bad.
So I calculated which characters had families with decent incomes and which families would be rich, how many people lived with each character, how each character interacted with their family, etc. Quite a bit of work that I thought was important, but so worth it :) It makes the characters easier for me to identify with now so I can further develop them when I actually write about them.
And, since I was in the middle of studying psych, I was even more capable of interpreting why each character would act this and that way due to their home environments and genes and whatnot.
So, technically, I'm applying what I'm learning into something fun and useful for me in my future! GO ME!
Still, I could've done 45 minutes worth of studying instead of being creative... Stupid imagination getting in the way of my studies... lol
