� Some Sites I like � I'm reading |
hehe new place to hide It's pre ten am and I have already finished the two buildings I wanted to get through today. I plan to work on my readings a bit but I don't know how long it will take until I feel too guilty and head back to the office. I found the best lab EVER though and that is where I am writing this from, WEST HALL. yes, west has a tiny little lab in it next to the place I obsess about swimming in, the Marine Testing Lab that is built under West Hall. Yup, we're resting on a cold tank of water. but guess what? next to nobody uses this site, i can tell because the keyboards are letting me type and they aren't clogged. :D oh yeah, I should mention that going between the home keyboard and the school ones sucks because I have an ergonomic that everyone hates but I love and now I am being a little too conditioned to type on the normal ones...sucks but true. oh ya, case you didn't notice, I did add an oral donations link, feel free to give the gift that keeps on giving! *sigh* I did do an update this morning but I lost it. It mostly rested on the fact that D called me out about the lack of contact and I wrote her back and told her what I was worried about, the philosophy and the mother issue. It bothers me to tell her but i am worried that I am dragging her down and I just can't handle listening to anyone's strong beliefs anymore. I don't want to tell her that it is garbage or anything and I am glad that she is exploring, but I don't want to drag her down and I can't handle listening to the New Age stuff. I am attracted to her personality though when it shines through so I can't write her off like spk can. I kind of wish that i could but I do have some feelings for her and it's complicated. I hope that she tries to understand my point of view but if she can't then she isn't the girl for me anyways. I do want to thank spk for listening to my rambles yesterday though, it really helped. I was teary eyed and emotional and stuff so I needed someone to talk to, and yes it's weird, but I haven't seen him in a few days so I miss him holding me and snuggling up to him before we fall asleep and all the cute silly little rituals we have. PMS can occasionally be a wonderful thing. The only other news in my world is that one of my classes was cancelled and I am debating between whether or not I should impale myself with my work next year or take it easy so I can write a kickass thesis. My advisor will be teaching a grad class that I was debating about getting into on sexuality. The only downside to taking it would be the extra work because it is a 600 level course. The description lists that the writing is only weekly papers 1-2 pgs, which are hard to write but not impossible, and discussions. The reading will probably be huge but part of me wants to attempt to do it. At the moment, I snuck into LGBT studies but that meets at 11am and might interfere with work. The grad class meets from 4-7pm on wednesdays. although it would suck, because I would be in class six hours straight that day, I am considering doing it. I will have no social life at that point but i will have a good foundation for my career. oh yeah, i have decided to be a feminist sex worker. I don't know what all that will entail at this point but it should be an adventure. and an adventure with huge amounts of exploration is what i want out of my life. hell, I always wanted to be Cousteau and I regret that most of the earth has been explored. I am not fit enough to go into space or anything so I will explore what interests me about mankind and I know that sex will always be an adventure... that's it for today! daphne Ok, I had to add this later, I took a brain test through Mind Media and it seems that I am perfectly balanced on all sides, right and left, and between auditory and visual learning...does this make me perfect or a freak? I took the spark's gender test earlier this week and it had me pinned right in the middle so it pooped out woman because more women take its tests...getting kind of funky. :) here's what they said about me. the good news is that this does explain what I have been saying all my life, I am equally good at everything and thus have no destined career path. you are one of those rare individuals who are perfectly "balanced" in both your hemispheric tendencies and your sensory learning preferences. However, there is both good news and bad news. A problem with hemispheric balance is that you will tend to feel more conflict than someone who has a clearly established dominance. At times the conflict will be between what you feel and what you think but will also involve how you attack problems and how you perceive information. Details which will seem important to the right hemis- phere will be discounted by the left and vice versa, which can present a hindrance to learning efficiently. In the same vein, you may have a problem with organization. You might organize your time and/or space only to feel the need to reorganize five to ten weeks later. On the positive side, you bring resources to problem-solving that others may not have. You can perceive the "big picture" and the essential details simultaneously and maintain the cognitive perspective required. You possess sufficient verbal skills to translate your intuition into a form which can be understood by others while still being able to access ideas and concepts which do not lend themselves to language. Your balanced nature might lead you to second-guess yourself in artistic endeavors, losing some of the fluidity, spontaneity and creativity that otherwise would be yours. With your balanced sensory styles, you process data alternately, at times visually and other times auditorially. This usage of separate memories may cause you to require more time to integrate information or re-access it. When presented with situations which force purely visual or purely auditory learning, increased anxiety is likely and your learning efficiency will decrease. Your greatest benefit is that you can succeed in multiple fields due to the great plasticity and flexibility you possess.
