I am the dancing queen!

ROTC today was total hell!! I was flight commander and managed to screw up many, many times. I learned a lot though so it's all good. Then after announcements the Colonal gets up and says he has some awards he needed to give out. So first he "honors" one of the POC and declares him Mr. Fred Estaire (sp? I think i frenchified that). And then he decides he can't leave out the girls! And he asks me to stand up. Then he says how he had a few members of the Cadre comment on my skill on the dance floor as well. Oh Jeremy! I had way too much fun being rediculous and dancing with you lol. I really need to step it up with ROTC. I just tend to learn by doing with this sort of stuff. Oh guess what?!! I passed my PFT. 22 push-ups, 42 sit-ups, and get this! I improved my run by almost a minute in 5 weeks! 1.5 miles in 12:44!!! Wahoo!! Who's the bomb! lol. So C/Tangen and I have decided we're going to max everything next time! The only thing I maxed was the waist mesurement but that's all genetics I think. Anywho, gonna take a quick nap before rehearsal cuz i don't want to do work. Vale!

Changes

So I've spent my entire life chasing something absurd. Something i thought I wanted. Something I thought would be fun and interesting. But now I'm here actually doing it. Talking to real Egyptologists. And they're boring! I'm just too rambunctious and loud. I'm not sure when this happened but it has. I want to give something to someone. I just feel like being an Egyptologist would be a really selfish thing to do. I'm the only one who would benefit from it. And I just can't see myself spending the rest of my life researching. I want to go on an adventure. Do something that means something. I did this busy persons retreat this week where I met with a spirtual companion for half an hour every day and I spent a lot of that time thinking about all the gifts that god has given me. I guess the biggest is that i can make people smile. I remind people that it's ok to be silly and have fun sometimes. I care too much. And I was trying to think of something that would use all of these skills. I really don't want to work in an office. I want to be out going somewhere. Hands on kind of stuff. I have an appointment with my priest to talk to him about it. And I'm praying about it a lot. I have a few ideas but nothing I want to say out loud. Rachael makes fun of me because of how much i care about what you say out loud and what you don't. i don't know, saying it out loud makes it real and I'm not sure if i'm ready to make that step yet. I am changing directions and that I've said out loud finally and it's going to happen. (Oh and Elise if you're reading this do not tell mom and dad, I'll do it!). Well I should get to work! vale!

Elmo You scored 41% Organization, 78% abstract, and 74% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables. First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean. Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type. Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself. You are mostly organized, more abstract, and more extroverted. Most people either love or hate Elmo. I hope you love Elmo, because that's who you are. You are both somewhat organized. You have a good idea where you put things and you probably keep your place reasonably clean. You aren't totally obsessed with neatness though. Elmo has the same basic approach. His place is pretty tidy, but he doesn't spend all of his time cleaning it up. You both are abstract thinkers. You definitely are not afraid to take chances in life. You only live once. You may notice others around you playing it safe, but you are more concerned with not compromising your desires, and getting everything you can out of life. This is a very romantic approach to life, but hopefully you are also grounded enough to get by. Elmo's whole life is based on fantasy and his imagination. In the beginning he was a regular character, but now he spends most of his time in this fantasy world. You are both extroverts. Elmo likes to talk talk talk. He'll talk with people, goldfish, tables, whatever. Without interaction with others he gets very sad. You definitely enjoy the company of others, and you don't have problems meeting new people... in fact you probably look forward to it. You are willing to take charge when necessary or work as part of a team. The other possible characters are Oscar the Grouch Big Bird Cookie Monster Ernie Snuffleupagus Kermit the Frog Grover The Count Guy Smiley Bert If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also if you want to tell me your favorite Sesame Street character, I can total them up and post them here. Perhaps your choice will win!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 12% on Organization You scored higher than 97% on concrete-abstra You scored higher than 79% on intro-extrovert

I need to change the music on my shuffle. There are way too many sorta happy/sad slow songs and it's really making me drag. All I want to do now is sleep and forget about all the stuff I have to do tonight. I miss having time to stop and breathe. I should get back to work. Vale!
