cognitive dissonance.

bio march exam -- done. it wasn't mind boggling but i'm not overconfident either.
psych exam tomorrow.

so yesterday, like a charm, just when i spent the night before writing 10 reasons why i shouldn't care, i received a text. for the first time ever, i ignored.

all the while, all i could think of was the "theory of cognitive dissonance": when 2 or more cognitions contradict each other and the person experiences an uncomfortable state of tension, and becomes motivated to reduce this dissonance.

i say i can't ignore anyone, but yesterday, for the better good, i did. cognitive dissonance. the only justification i can come up with to support my contradicting behaviour were the 10 reasons i came up with the night before.

and i guess those were really good 10 reasons, so good that they kept me from texting back. (:
