| The best weekend ever? Well, not quite up there, but it has been the
most relaxing and low stress weekend that I've had in awhile...
Hopefully i Learn from this and stay ahead in my studying so that I
don't fall behind and have more stressful weeks...
by the way... I just want to say thanks for those who have sent me a lil note during my times of duress  It was much appreciated if I couldn't tell you in person...
THANK YOU ALICIA!
See... now EVERYONE knows!!!
-------------------------------------------
and by the way for those who have read my personality test... and seen
that my highest scores are in 4 categories... lets discuss them
(definitions are from the website i took the test at):
Physical Security - feels they have sufficient financial and material resources
(obviously I just don't want to be cold or hungry....)
Vanity - uses
looks to get what they want, arrogant, self-absorbed, believes they can
get what they want because of how they look, believes in success
through appearances, cares about how they look to others, believes
looking good is more important than comfort, feels best when others
find them physically attractive, believes other people are envious of
them, superficial, feels best when admired, attentive to appearance,
spends a lot of time thinking about what is attractive, feels they are
better looking than most people, competes for the spotlight, self
promoting, feels both superior and defective, likes to manipulate
others, seductive, likes to be popular, used to getting their way,
reckless with money, wealth seeking, does things primarilly for the
benefit of themself, does not like to be friends with people who are
physically unattractive, tends to wear tight fitting clothing if
female, desires more attention, assumes most people like them
(so
there is soo much in that one... I just highlighted the ones that I
felt BEST reflected ME and what I was trying to get through in MY
intent in blue.... and you
know I'm right... oh and the black ones are so untrue, I don't believe
or think people are envious or think I'm better looking... I take that
as fact!  )
Materialism
wealth
seeking, prefers extravagence, superficial, believes the bigger the pay
check the more important the person, competitive, selfish, preoccupied
with money, believes they deserve to have whatever they want (sense of
entitlement), seeks status and power relative to peers, believes there
is nothing wrong with marrying partly for money, disdains financial
insecurity, avoids losing status and control, looking good is more
important than comfort, believes in success through appearances, second
place is not good enough, manipulative, has a need for applause, not
generous, loves to win awards, does things primarily for own benefit,
gets angry when they don't get when they want, used to getting their
way, prefers instant gratification
(as you can see a lot of things overlap... and I don't know...
isn't all of that good stuff anyways? And I'm a nice person... and
Money isn't everything, but if you have enough, you can buy it all!)
Narcissism
use
their looks to get what they want, is able to plan and work towards
goals successfully, loves themself, optimistic, sparkling, achiever,
self promoting, self assured, success driven, thinks they can charm
anyone, ambitious, elegant, thinks they are better looking than most
people (which they may or may not be), believes that they are special,
more a leader than a follower, believes that other people are envious
of them, loves to win awards, fits in most places, seductive,
purposeful, believes in success through appearances, assertive, goal
oriented, would love to have buildings and monuments named after them,
believes they deserve all the good things they have, likes to be popular
(alright... this one is just tooo easy... besides a lot of this
Narcissism is already covered in Vanity... and Materialism covered in
Physical Security... so its only like 2 things...
So well... besides my next top four were Extraversion, Intellectual,
Interdependence, and Mystical... all GOOD stuff about ME right?)
----------------------------------------------------------
Haha... hope you all enjoyed the laugh... time to get ready for bed so I can survive the 6 hours of classes I have tomorrow...
on a more serious note, I'm restarting my on-again-off-again
relationship with Jim... I'm over some personal pain so I guess I can
go see him again... It won't be anything as serious as it has bene in
the past though... probably more like several time during the week
we'll hang out and such... and maybe a sometime during the weekend
too... Although I go through a lot of personal stress and pain with
Jim, our relationship always personally makes me feel stronger. He's
always there for me and I guess its up to me to pursue him...
oops... I spelled his name wrong.. . it should be G-Y-M... and I guess I personified a place too 
Haha... have a good one folks... hope you enjoyed the long read!
Smiles!

| About halfway through my busy schedule... well just one more BIG thing
on my agenda.... hopefully the Stats midterm goes well... I dont really
know anyone in the class so its kinda tough. But the Professor
gives good practice midterm examples and stuff so hopefully it
shouldn't be too bad of a strain on my test taking.... Study study
time... and eats at Buffalo Wild Wings with the football game on TV...

| Some Random Personality Test I took... do I think its scientific?
I dunno... I'm not sure which version of what test they used...
Advanced Global Personality Test Results

Stability results were moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.
Orderliness
results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly
organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense of
flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun.
Extraversion
results were high which suggests you are overly talkative, outgoing,
sociable and interacting at the expense too often of developing your
own individual interests and internally based identity.

and managing others, dominant, makes friends easily, does not like to
be alone, assertive, hard working, finisher, optimistic, positive,

| Wow its been awhile....
San Diego was a blast.... I was there for a week, hanging out and
catching up with old friends and meeting a whole host of new people
too! All this revolving around the premise of flag football
woohoo.
My funniest/racist moment for that weekend would have been when we were
getting on board the boat on the boat cruise and my friend Shon says
"They (white folks) tricked us to getting on a boat a couple hundred
years ago and now I can't believe I'm getting back on." hehe...
After that boat cruise I felt really queasy and just didn't enjoy it as
much... when getting off the boat, everyone asked me what happened and
if I was okay... to which I replied "Yeah, being on a boat just brings
back memories of 16yrs ago when I first came to this country..." \
This past weekend, Jim Sptizig came up and visited. We went to
the Homecoming Purdue football game (since he's an alumni from here)
and the bars in Lafayette too. It was fun, Purdue actually made
it a close game after awhile and had a chance to win it.. but blew it
with an Interception (surprise, surprise). Jim was awesome as
usual, and now his lucky ass is headed off to watch the Colts game
before he leaves Indiana....
Ah, Monday... Got out of a damn midterm and I'm tired out already...
Its about time for me to just head on home and vegetate. Maybe laundry,
or maybe just a lot of vegetating... Meh, whatevers. I'll
probably head up to Chicago this coming weekend to hang out with the
guys from football and possibly go on a date on Sunday? *crosses
finger*... it seems everytime (once before) I think I'm gonna have a
date, the planning just falls through.... oh well...
What other random statements are floating in my head?... hmm.... eh...
nothing I can think of right now... but its truly time to go home, buy
some bleach, and vegetate.... (i dont know where the hell bleach came
from but I need it to clean!)
Smiles!!!
