| Senile at 20!!! |
Man, talk about when the ink well dries up... I think the same thing has happened to my brain. The barrage of new info on torts, insurance, and property have taken up some of my precious memory balls that i can't seem to remember things i've done or things i'm supposed to do 5 minutes later after thinking about them. (yes it's that bad!) I'm too young to be senile! Take for example this morning, right after cramming some SCRA tidbits into my brain, i had already forgotten:
1) where i put the notebook i was writing things into
2) what time my class started
3) why i was taking a bathroom break when i didn't feel like i needed it
I actually took a time out and sat down on the toilet lid to think things through again. The scary part is when you're trying to recall something and your mind just goes blank and you have to consciously kick yourself in order to recall what exactly you were trying to recall.
Suffice it to say that it took 15 mins to remember that:
1) I put the notebook under the stack of xerox readings for the day
2) My class started at 2 (after looking at my form 5)
3) And that i was in the bathroom to brush my teeth.
Funny part is, after remembering these things, i had already forgotten what the cases i read were about!
good thing i found my notebook!

Found out about this test from The Paradox
My Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 38%
Visual : 61%
Left : 66%
Right : 33%
Rachel, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You probably tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.
Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is organized and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference, though, has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can overwhelm structure and logic and create an almost continuous state of uncertainty and agitation. You may well suffer a feeling of continually trying to "catch up" with yourself.
Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor. You can "size up" situations and take in information rapidly. However, you must then subject that data to being classified and organized which causes you to "lose touch" with the immediacy of the problem.
Your logical and methodical nature hamper you in this regard though in the long run it may work to your advantage since you "learn from experience" and can go through the process more rapidly on subsequent occasions.
You remain predominantly functional in your orientation and practical. Abstraction and theory are secondary to application. In keeping with this, you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern and only then work with the "larger whole."
With regards to your career choices, you have a mentality that would be good as a scientist, coach, athlete, design consultant, or an engineering technician. You can "see where you want to go" and even be able to "tell yourself," but find that you are "fighting yourself" at the darndest times.

| Whatever |
Sometimes when leaves shake
their fingers at you
and point you down a dark path
You have not any idea
where such trails lead
But the shoe itches to go, to run
And the hands tense in anticipation,
and maybe fear.
The body learns and reacts automatically
even when the head cannot decide,
nor the heart believe.
It needs neither thought nor argument
and only moves by wild instinct.
Fly swift my feet and do not
let the mind catch you.
Else, you'll be back where you started.

| The Song of the Audience by Neil Gaiman |
Let us call now for the makers of strong images,
Let them come to us now carrying their quills and sharp razors
Let them gash their arms for ink and let them limn.
Look at them tracing their desperation, the makers of strong images
Look at their ink clotting brown and black on the parchment skin
Look: they render us down there limb from limb.
Like dreamers they will reduce us in the rendering,
Like ash and fat to soap we are reduced to our essentials
(Like a shadow who stares at us with eyes of flesh).
Let them entertain us, the makers of strong imahes.
Let us toss them copper pennies. But let us not forget.
They make the images. We give them flesh |
