Studys are boring to read about

So in the last few days I have participated in many a study. I have to for my research methods class but hey they still are not bad. I got a free muffin in one and I was starved!!! That one was weird because it supposedly measured if sugar effects how well you do certain tasks (judging how much water in a bottle would fill several cups or judging the diameter of a circle without a ruler) but so far everyone I talked to was in the muffin group and while I could statistically show how impossible this is I wont because statistics was last semester(though that doesn't stop me from doing the math and not telling you). Anyways you had a coke can, water bottle and sobe bottle as well as the little cups. At the beginning of the experiment(the researcher/grad student left while I performed it) the researcher told me to throw out my materials and the instructions on the computer(where I put in my answers) also told me to do this. I wondered if it was actually a study about following directions because seriously I could have had like ten snickers because and they never would have known. It didn't make a lot of sense for how it was measuring sugar intake and your ability to perform tasks. So I ask my classmates who participated if they threw out their stuff in the trash cans provided which were empty for all of us when we entered the room. They did and we mentioned how it was weird they didn't reuse at least the bottles. I took my materials. The things is there where two trash cans, one a little smaller than the other but they were not labeled so I assumed they were not recycling cans. I wanted to recycling my stuff so I took it. The researcher was very clear that I was to dispose of that stuff. My class mates think I ruined the experiment somehow.
Another experiment I was in involved filling out questionnaires then writing out a sexual fantasy in explicit detail. Oh yeah that is what it involved. So it was a bit awkward doing this in a room full of mostly stranger. To top it off in the middle of writing a horn honks. Not like a car horn, it was like a bike horn. Like the kind a clown would use. We all kinda laughed and I said it ruined the mood. The last study I did was purely filling out surveys mostly about attitudes toward homosexuals, relationship violence(including straight and gay couples) and stereotypically masculine and feminine traits. So the whole thing was fine till the end where there was a girl and guy section. I go to the girl section of course and it has things like "Do you find men more sexy when they are in control or when you are in control of sex?" and you had to pick one... n/a???? The thing is the rest of the questionnaires were totally gay friendly till this last one were half the questions made no sense for me. The thing about studies is you really need to answer everything and so I go up to the grad student(who was this very nice seeming chick) and ask her what to say as I am a lesbian. She says that is just what she hates about that part of the questionnaire(that it is not gay friendly) and asks me to just assume the man in all the questions is a woman. She later explains it was the only reputable scale for what it was measuring(reactions toward stereotypically masculine and feminine behavior) and gave us tips for how to study for our Research Methods class as our prof is really really hard. This is not the first previous student to tell us this. Awesome.
Other than school I don't do much. We had a circus meeting last night and I am excited about doing more shows. My b day is next Thursday but that doesn't mean much other than that I am driving to Tucson(which I can hardly afford) to see Mariah cause she wants to see me. Ah well she sounds excited and that is what counts.
