Midnite oil....

Posted by Ty

I have been burnin midnite oil for 2 days. If you count today, will be 3 days then. In case, you were wonderin. I was studyin for Fin 400, Fin 490, and Health class. I am studyin! Can you believe it? Wahahahaha... Hopefulli I did well for my Fin 400 so that i can redeem myself from the previous exam. 10 out of 16 and it is below average. Hai..... Today, Fin 400 exam was kind of easy. I finished it in 20 mins and spend other 30 mins checkin all the answer. The exam, in a way, it's easy and the answer is straight forward. but you never know. Cant wait to see the result.

I read an interesting chapter on human sexually. The chapter's call "Love, Intimacy and Relationship." I know the title is caughtin for most of you. lolz. Half of the chapter, discuss about the triangular theory of love. According to Robert Sterberg, The theory characterizes love in an interpersonal relationship on three different scales: Initmacy, Passion, and Commitment. It is interesting, the “amount” of love one experiences depends on the absolute strength of these three components; in order to have a perfect love, you have to have these three componets.

Intimacy alone = liking (true friendship without passion or long term commitment)
Passon alone = infatuation (passionate, obsessive love at first sight without initmacy or commitment)
Commitment alone = empty love (love without passion or intimacy)
Intimacy+ Passion = Romantic love (Physical and emotional attraction without commitment)
Intimacy+ Commitment = Long-term committed frinedship such as marriage.
Passion + Commitment = Fatouous love (Shallow friendship)

So which one are you if you in love???

PS: Cant wait to spend my spring break in Lake Tahoe with my sister and friends.
