Hi, i'm alexander. I was born in Greece 26 years ago, lived in Canada for 10 years (don't remember much though) and then back in Greece until last August. I finished high school when i was 20 (took me some time ha?) and decided to study Psychology so i can answer all the mysteries in my head, you know, why i'm like i am, how can I manipulate people, thing like that. After 5 years in the University of Crete, yes i studied on an island, i can't say i got the answers i was looking for, actually i think i have even more questions then before! The truth is that Psychology was very interesting but methods pretty much sucked. During my studies i had an internship as a school psychologist, it was great but i couldn't imagine my future in a job where i had to get up at 7. After that i started my thesis titled "Childrens drawings as an indicator for emotional and cognitive disorders". After 8 very difficult months of research and a huge fight with my professor i started my second thesis (well, i never finished my first so i don't know if i can call it second) titled "Adult attachment and parental behavior: Relations and the role of individual differences". After dispensing, calculating and analysing 200 questionnairs and coming to no conclusions, i realised that psychological methods couldn't give me any robust results about behavior. Surveys and questionnaires weren't efficient for me so i decided to try something new, cognitive neuroscience. Just started so i can't say much, although it seems that methods in cognitive neuroscience have some disadvantages as well. As for my future plans, well, i have no idea, not even sure if i want to be a researcher! Anyway, other than that, i like Holland, though not knowing the language is a disadvantage. None the less, it's seems like a great place, very different to Greece in many ways, especially the weather. Well that all for now, tune in next week for more!
