Making this brief, but funny.
For my PSY100 class we need to participate in at least 4 experiments, where we (ME) are the lab rats. So sign up was last week and well spots were running out and times were limited by my schedule. I quickly signed myself up for four, one each day and thought I was done with the whole ordeal. Today I was checking out what if any had certain criteria which I vaguely remember seeing. So I looked and saw that for my Thursday experiment that I needed to be: 18-35 years old [CHECK], right-handed [CHECK] and male with European background. [UUMMMM NOPE?] I swear I didn't see that when I was signing up and now I need to cancel that experiment and wait for more to come up because that was my forth one. Seriously, I didn't see anything about being a white dude, I read that I must not use hair products on the day of but other than that I thought I was in the clear for this experiment. Well yah that's my story for today. I thought I would share it with you my fellow scholars since life shouldn't all be serious; there will be these moments where all you can do is laugh and share it. Hope that made your day/night/whatever slightly better because honestly things like this only really happen to me :)
EDIT!!!! This is the email I received after I signed up for this experiment. What in the actual fuck do I do now?

There is so much confusion with university. I'll just show up that day and if I see alot of guys then I know I'm definitely in the wrong (or right, depending on how you look at it) place.
