testing

oh, man, today there has been so much back and forth about whether or not we have to take next thursday off. it really boils down to whether or not we are actually part of the campus. i'm taking friday off anyhow, so i don't care too much, but i would always prefer to choose the days i take off.

i've decided to make my mom a little gin-and-tonic basket for mothers' day. i talked it over with my sister M, who agreed that while it might seem a little trashy, it's better than getting her a generic gift. she's caring for my dad right now while he undergoes chemo, and i don't think another bar of lavender soap is going to be a big hit.

i went back to the career counseling center on tuesday. maybe most people feel this way (how would i know?) but i love to get back results to those tests. it's comforting to compare myself to the rest of humanity and find that i am, indeed, a strange person. i have to admit that the results this time made me a bit nervous. the tests imply that i would be happy as a lawyer or an actress. too bad both those careers seem as though they take your life away and leave you with nothing, well, not the things i think i want. (see why i need help deciding this?) i've got some ideas about how to work it all out. at least i got confirmation that i should not be an economist.

anyway, getting these results led to having a dream that i was on a scientology cruise, and that i took one of their personality tests. the results were awful, and i was devastated that i'd let them trick me.
