The Little Prince quiz

LIIIIIFFFFE

I've been pretty freaking busy lately. The junior portfolio review is just around the corner. On top of preparing for that I'm also trying to get stuff done for my actual classes (most of those assignments are also going to be put in the portfolio). Uugh... it's a very stressful time. They're only choosing about 40/75 students to go on to the senior sequence for next year. This is like life-changing stuff here. I honestly don't know what I would do if I didn't get accepted to the senior sequence. I have no plan; I'm not really good at anything else other than Japanese and I feel like I've forgotten way too much to get back on that horse. I can't not get a degree, though. That would be worse than anything... I dunno. I'll probably have to make some sort of backup plan. I'm not setting myself up for failure or anything, I just want to be prepared for the worst. I'm honestly not sure of my standing compared to my fellow juniors. I know that there are certainly a few people who are way better than I am. I just hope they're all not planning on going into the new media concentration. But at this point I would just be really glad to get into any of them. The thing is that I really, REALLY don't want to have to stay behind for another year. I'm trying to use all of this for drive for trying my very hardest... I just want to turn it all in already. Once I've finished everything it's out of my hands and all I need to do is wait nervously for the results... but at least it would be one less thing that I would actually need to put copious amounts of energy in. I'm pretty glad I never got around to getting a job this year... I think it would have been way too hectic. I probably never got around to getting a job because it was already hectic enough on it's own I just never had time, lol. This year has been going by really fast, though. Only about a month of school left!

Here's a to-do list... I think this is it but I might be forgetting something. Hopefully I remember it before it's due, lol...

1. Finish (paint?) altered book (DUE MONDAY)

2. Fix how-to (fix link (onClick2 on last page) and slight jump in beginning) (DUE TUESDAY)

3. Write portfolio review essay

4. Fix process book for review

5. GET PORTFOLIO THINGS PRINTED (Monday) (Do I need screen shots of new media assignments?)

6. Make lease signing appt. with chuckanut

7. Finish first sequence of typo assgn. (DUE TUESDAY)

8. MEET WITH KENT AND ANOTHER TEACHER FOR PLAN OF STUDY (What do I need...?)

9. Buy portoflio

10. Storyboard for future animation project to put in portfolio (remember not to make it readable only to you)

Aaah... I think that's all that I can do at the moment... although if I sit here long enough I can probably think of 10 more things to add on... But now I'm going to go to sleep...

I come bearing quizzes

9 - the Peacemaker

Thanks for taking the test !

you chose BX - your Enneagram type is NINE (aka "The Mediator")

"I am at peace"

Peacemakers are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union with others and the world around them.

How to Get Along with Me

• If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like expectations or pressure.
• I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advantage of this.
• Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit.
• Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge me gently and nonjudgmentally.
• Ask me questions to help me get clear.
• Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery.
• Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings.
• I like a good discussion but not a confrontation.
• Let me know you like what I've done or said.
• Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life.

What I Like About Being a NINE

• being nonjudgmental and accepting
• caring for and being concerned about others
• being able to relax and have a good time
• knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around
• my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good mediator and facilitator
• my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and now
• being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe

What's Hard About Being a NINE

• being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive
• being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline
• being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally
• being confused about what I really want
• caring too much about what others will think of me
• not being listened to or taken seriously

NINEs as Children Often

• feel ignored and that their wants, opinions, and feelings are unimportant
• tune out a lot, especially when others argue
• are "good" children: deny anger or keep it to themselves

NINEs as Parents

• are supportive, kind, and warm
• are sometimes overly permissive or nondirective

The power went out today from about 10am - 7pm. I was unexpectedly productive during this time and actually got a comic page done (FINALLY after like 2 months of ignoring it). Then I had a pho dinner with Ainsley and Laine and then we had ice cream (it's a tradition).

Yesterday was Ainsley's birthday and she had a decent amount of people over and we watched Twilight and laughed at its horribleness and a few people drank a little. I didn't because I'm still very much in the mindset of, "Drinking on a school night is bad." But it was a lot of fun and we basically have the exact same friends so it was a very nice time. ^^ We also watched The Secret of NIMH which, as always, was amazing.

GAWD, I swear. I need to start going to bed at like 9 because when it turns into nighttime and I get tired I get SO FREAKING DEPRESSED. Buuuuh... whatever. I'll go to sleep now to avoid anymore DESPAIR.
