Seven Things

Finally, a belated response to Half'n'half's tag.


The Best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.--Robert Burns

1. I like quotes, whether famous or unknown. I also like making lots of plans about every move I make in my life; I carry around a 2yr pocket size calendar where I jot down things I'll be doing tomorrow, next month, even next year and beyond. It helps me organize my life and I'd be totally lost without it. Of course things don't always go as planned--the last week and a half of my life has been like that. But I'm learning to let go of minor details and focus on the overall picture.

2. I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive. Not like Jack Nicholson in "As Good As It Gets." I'll make the bed as soon as I get up, wash my hands frequently, and stack the dishes in the sink neatly if I'm not washing them right away. Just habit.

3. Another compulsion: a hot cup of coffee after I get up. I don't want to have a conversation in the morning till I've at least washed my face, brushed my teeth and drank a hot cup. Major points to anyone who brings a hot mug to me in my room.

4. When I like a song, I play it over and over and over again. Like ten times in a row or something. Then I usually forget about it.

5. My favorite horoscope is Yahoo Astrology. It's fun to read, and some of the personality traits for my sign are so right on.

6. One of my worst fears is to be stuck or trapped anywhere or in anything. I need to move around freely. Yet stability is also very important to me.

7. I'm a very private person so I tend to keep a lot of things to myself. But I reveal a lot of things in a humorous way.

Finals

It's that wonderful time of year when we get to do final exams and hand in end of sem essays. 1 down, 4 to go. Then I'm getting the hell out of here for the summer.
