Edible

Good morning, patrons of the GradCafe (GradCafé?). My (user)name is Edible, and I know nothing about applying for grad school. I'm so overwhelmed by the prospect that I sought out a place specifically to discuss it. This setting felt more appropriate for such a conversation than the usual professional wrestling forums I frequent. You know how it is: Great place for enjoying glorified carny entertainment with toothless hicks, but pretty mediocre when it comes to expertise on higher education. Still, props to the toothless hicks for figuring out how to communicate using the fancy word machine. So, here's the skinny: Undergrad in psych with two years down (less one course) and a major average of B+. No research experience. No knowledge of how to seek out graduate programs. Nobody that springs to mind as somebody I can ask for a reference. Very few redeeming qualities at all. I know what you're thinking. "B+? Surely he can't be serious." Well, I am. And if you're going to call me Surely, make sure you spell it correctly. Anyhow, I recently overcame some serious motivation issues. I'm clean. I swear it. About the B+: I'm better than that. No, really. I'm actually what most people would call "smart." Whatever that means. I can kill any coursework dead when I want to and am at the moment highly aroused with the notion of research in psychology, especially that of the social persuasion. So, let's assume I take my next two years (plus one course) of undergrad, including an honours thesis, and just kill it dead. What else should I be doing to ensure my best chances for graduate school admittance? How do I best go about researching grad programs? For further help, should I tie down my academic advisor and waterboard her? In the realm of grad school admissions, I am a virgin. Take me now. Also, apologies if this is in the wrong part of the forum. It seemed too general for most other sections. Such is burden I carry for knowing nothing.
