I reckon the reason they r psch students is that the people u meet whilst travelling are usually people who r interested in other people (meeting them, their culture, practises etc.) so r more likely to do a person related subject. also many people learn to twirl whilst travelling. i did (and i was a sociology student).

Count me in. Just finished my Master's in Psych and I love to meet new people.

glad u got that - i re-read it and i wasnt very elloquent was i?so, do you specialise in pyromaniacs?

haha! not a psycology student as such but have just started my first year of Zoology and have taken an additional psycology module...

It is probably just that a lot of people are psych students. No offense, but I actually have a little game with myself where I try to guess if someone is a psych student or not. Some observations from a trained scientist:If anyone ever askes you to guess what their major is, say psych as your default answer - you'll be correct more than half the time. If you walk by a class and it has a dissportionate number of cute girls in it, it is most probably a psych class. (I'd be interested to know if that is true outside the USA too)[This message has been edited by vanize (edited 23 October 2001).]

Ah, I see you're testing my hypothesis for me! APB you already know I'm a psych student...but for the rest of you, yes it's true. Oh, and of course I am very cute Firefairy, I agree with the travelling link. I reckon loads of people learn to twirl when they travel, I had certainly never seen it before I went travelling a few years ago.But if anyone else asks if I am going to read their minds, they get a smack in the mouth!Princess xxx

Great thing about the psych degree is that I was one of a very few males in my undergrad classes. It was saaaweeet. Firefairy, unfortunately I specialize in Industrial/Organizational Psych with a minor in pyromaniac tendencies. Not too many ladies there though :-(------------------"We do not inherit this Earth from our ancestors, but merely borrow it from our children"

what college offers courses in pyromaniac tendancies? sounds like an interesting subject to learn about. at my university we formed a fire performers club.

Tis is pretty interesting. I am majoring in biology with emphasis in marine biology, oceaography minor. Not exactly psych, but still sciences. I never thought about a link between spych students and poi. I think it's pretty obvious the link between culture, people and poi though.

For me, yeah I spin & do Psych.Though the rest of my spinning friends do many and varied things - from engineering to nursing. Most have got the travelling spirit though, so I'd say that's a bigger link than the psych.vanzie,Ratio of girls:guys in our year is about 3:1. Odd that.

Thanks APB, you're very sweet I love the internet... for all you lot know I could be a big hairy forty year old biker bloke!There are only about 10 men in my whole year. As for my school course, Animal and Machine Intelligence, well that's a whole different ball game...Oh God, don't start me on ball games again...!FP xx

be a student, why would I want to do a silly thing likt that for jokeperhaps you could widen that to humanities and arts. I think creative occupations are conected too, I'm a retired chef. I think there is a link between travelling and twirling too. Cassandra is the only one to agree with me online about this so far.Are there many other non-students here??? ------------------Your parents were wrongFire is good Play with fire

Sorry Melissa, I intended the "minor in pyromaniac tendencies" as a joke. Would be a cool course to take or teach though! I went to UNC undergrad and worked in the Chemistry labs all 4 years. I'm surprised we didn't burn the place down. But we do still have access to chemicals for colored fire (ie. lithium = red, potassium permangenate = purple). Audax, I agree with you about traveling and twirling. Seems like most spinners are very open to interacting with and experiencing new cultures.
