But I don't want to go among mad people!

So I saw this on Kris' blog and his personality diagnosis seemed really interesting so i wanted to see what mine would come out to be. Here's what it said after taking the quiz. I'm happy with that, but I dont think Im much of a leader. I don't know why the quiz thought that.

"You are a WECL--Wacky Emotional Constructive Leader. This makes you a People`s Advocate.
You are passionate about your causes, with a good heart and good endeavors. Your personal fire is contagious, and others wish they could be as dedicated to their beliefs as you are.
Your dedication may cause you to miss the boat on life's more slight and trivial activities. You will feel no loss when skipping some inane mixer, but it can be frustrating to others to whom such things are important. While you find it difficult to see other points of view, it may be useful to act as if you do, and play along once in a while.
In any event, you have buckets of charisma and a natural skill for making people open up. Your greatest asset is an ability to make progress while keeping the peace.
Of the 32330 people who have taken this quiz since tracking began (8/17/2004), 6.1 % are this type."

Interesting stuff...anyway Ive been incredibly stressed the last few days because the weekender was filled to the brim with events going on the entire time and then i came back and realized that I had two midterms today. yay! So I pulled an all nighter last night studying for my french and art history midterms. It's such a relief to have them over. So much of my last week has been hinging on these tests and now that they are over I feel so great. I think I did pretty well on my art history midterm. It was essay format comparing various greek, egyptian, and roman classical sculptures and I knew all the slides she put up. I was glad I knew everything, but left the lecture hall with my left arm killing me from digging in really hard with my pen when i was writing and not stopping to give my hand a break. My french midterm was another story though. I think I did ok on most of it, the paragraph part and where you have to fill in with articles and possessive articles, but i always seem to fuck up on the oral. Like, I wont understand one word in the sentence that the teacher's saying and itll make it so i can't understand the sentence at all. That happened with two questions today and Im REALLY kicking myself about it. Grrrrr, stupid french! What is it about me and language that just don't click? First japanese (which was fairly impossible for me), now french. There are people in other countries that grow up speaking 5 languages fluently and I am completely retarded and unable to do more than one. But now that my tests are over I am ready to go out and have a little fun. Thursday we have a BBQ & Beverages thing with ZBT, then Sigmma Chi exchange friday and Disneyland with my family on Saturday. I still need to find a date for our ADPi invite on the 8th, it's kind of knawing at the back of my mind. I want to go see Jon Brion again.

One thing that made me smile was the delivery i got from my parents at Monday night dinner last night. It was incredible. They somehow found out about the Greek Escape store and sent me this big basket full of candy and then this gigantic, hot air balloon type thing. I felt like I was going to float away carrying it home. It's now in the living room taking up a ton of space. And they sent a card too which said "Just because". I really do have some of the best parents around. I've always felt so lucky to have this super close relationship with my mom where we can hang out together and have a great time as friends and not so much as the quintessential mother daughter relationship. My dad is awesome too. I mean, my mom hated the idea of me getting my tongue pierced but she let me do it anyway because she had confidence in my own decisions. I can't help wondering if the whole dynamic would be different if the whole thing didnt happen to my sister, but my family is the greatest just as it is too and I cant take it back anyway. They are always there to send me little notes or call to say hi and i appreciate that a lot, even when im stressed out and yelling at them.

Ok, time to unwind after a horrible day of midterms with an episode or two of sex and the city. yay seasons 1-4 on dvd!!
