Myers-Briggs

The Myers-Briggs test was very interesting to me. It said I was Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging. I feel that, according to the descriptions, they are very accurate on who I am in how I think and act.
Introvert-Energized in the inner world of reflection, need space and time alone, will have fun at a party if they can talk to one person all night,work on individual projects, to observe and absorb in class and keep a low profile.
All these things are quite correct about me,and there are a lot more that fit me as well, plus some that don't fit me.
Sensing-Rely heavily on their five senses to take in info, like clear guidelines, outlines and specifics of what is going on, ask who, what, when, where. This is, again, right on the dot for me.
Feeling- follow heart rather then head,strive for harmony in relationships, value kindness, feel rewarded when helping others.These are very true for me. Recently there has been a little tension between to friends of mine and I am having a hard time accepting that all that was wonderful before can't stay that way forever. I have tried to harmonize the relationship but it hasn't work and I doubt it will get much better.
Judging- Try to order and control their world, decisive and well organized, plan things, meet deadlines and work on one thing at a time. This works for me as well because if I wait till the last minute on something I go crazy so I try to start things early rather than later.

Gattaca Post

Gattaca Response

I loved the movie. I loved how it was science fiction yet not too futuristic. It shows us what will happen, in the not to distant future, if we don't stop using genetics. I think that since we already have "desiner babies" the obsession of genetics will grow. I really don't like that fact if you aren't smart enough you can only be a janitor. The whole, "you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up" will be lost or they will to change it to "you can only be this when you grow up because you have these genetics."
The whole movie gets to me because I want to go into space one day. I won't have to worry about the genetics, but being healthy and fit and just me. This brings me to the underlying message in my pont of view,I find the message to be, if we as the human race don't change our view of messing with genetics then this will happen. It may seem that we are happier but someone will always want more and will try to get what they want.

All in all the movie is amazing.

Photo Essay of My Fist Semester at ASU

Pictures of life at college so far



Me and My wonderful roommate,
Beth at our first college football game.













Just chilling in the dorm taking really random pictures.
Beth is the other picture taker.









Hanging out around campus. We were not in our "backyard" but it was still a really fun night.

Beth and Mary









My attempt of panning the car. It didn't really work I tried so many times.









The four of us( I was taking the picture) chilling near the weeping willow tree. That was an amazing day.
Beth, Mary and Eric










We were on the parkway and we were going to take sunset pictures but we came across this place.






When I walked onto the bridge I saw this. My friend said it looked like heaven. It was so pretty.




As time went on it got dark and we ended up driving to this place. We took a number of exposures of this tree but this one turn out the best of them all.

This one is about alcohol or not

We were told to write about alcohol or drugs. All I really want to say is you can have fun with out putting anything in your system.
My friends and I are a good example of that. We have fun but are always completely sober.
A few weekends ago we were going around campus acting like fools and it was really, really late at night. If you had seen us you might have thought that we were drunk, but we weren't. I love how I can hang out with them and have so much fun with out anything at all.
I find it sad that many people have to do something to themselves to have fun. But of course they don't really remember it in the morning. I would hate to not remember what I did the night before.
That is all I have for now, goodbye.
