Brainless again. Lost track of which week's schedule today was and was late to my Shakespeare class because of it, which I'm feeling stupid about. Then proceeded to bomb the pop quiz the teacher's been hinting at all week, mainly because since I thought it was the other schedule I'd anticipated having first block to study before going to take the quiz. Oops.
Finished today's physics test twenty minutes early. This makes me nervous since the teacher's been mentioning all week that it'll be a long test, she let people start a bit early, and she warned us several times that if we got stuck on a problem the best thing to do would be to move on, since otherwise we wouldn't have time to finish. Nobody else was done at quarter past two when I passed mine in, after checking answers twice. Did I skip a page or something? (Of course it could have something to do with the fact that the course I took last year also covered this material, so it's all review for me...)
Tried to give the Essay of Doom to my counselor, with the explanation that though I was pretty sure it was fine grammatically and structurally I wasn't sure if it was quite appropriate for the whole collegey scholarshippy thing. He didn't listen much, I think, and recommended I show it to an english teacher and ask for an opinion. Which I did, because I hate arguing, and it can't hurt right? Requested that last year's teacher take a look at it since I figured I wasn't in this year's teacher's best graces at the moment. (see above re: stupid + late). But any problems with the essay I'd figure were only having to do with the venue, which presumably a counselor would know best about. Oh well. Bleh. Anyone want to see the silly thing? Let me know and I'll post it up here sometime, maybe.
On an entirely different note, this is fascinating.
And on yet another note:
Plus-- Brief Analysis
The name of Alison gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. There are times when you experience inner turbulence at your inability to say what you mean. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. You find pleasure in literature, in poetry, and in your ideals and will turn to them when you feel you have been misunderstood. You are deeply moved by the beauties of life, especially nature. Because your feelings run deep, you must guard against the ups and downs, being very inspired one minute, then moody, reserved, and depressed the next. Your reactions to people vary according to how you feel. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature.
