You enjoy structure and work best when you can devote your attention to one task at a time. You also work well with abstract ideas and can visualize theoretical situations.

It's been a rough week. I've had some problems with a class that I'm taking, Honors Islam, and have finally made the decision to withdraw from the class ASAP. I signed up for the class as an afterthought: it would kill one of my honors religion requirements. However, upon working through the first weeks of the class, I discovered it was a lot different than what I had expected: the professor is okay, but VERY demanding, the reading has been cumbersome and uninteresting, and the scheduling of the class - MWF at 9:00AM - couldn't be worse (well, maybe it could be...MTWRF @ 8:00AM...) The class, believe it or not, has brought down the rest of my life into a rather depressing valley. After I made the decision to withdraw, my mood immedately rose, and since Tuesday, the week has been in an upswing. My academic career should be okay: I came into La Salle with 22 credits, have 70 accumulated now after 2 years, will have 82 after this semester (with the drop) and still have 2 years / 4 semesters to hit 120+ credits.
So, if you've seen me lately seemingly in a funk, thats why. I feel 100% better, finally..."I think it the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain." from here
In happier news:
Tonight is the Mr. & Ms. La Salle Pageant. If you're around tonight, come on by - Dan Rodden Theater @ 7:00PM - it always proves to be a good time. There's always some interesting talents presented, and some laughs. I'm taking care of the lighting and some general technical advising (curtain pulling) 
I have my Phase 2 RA Interview today right after my 10am class. Last year I was extremely nervous, and scared. This year, its the exact opposite. I have no worries about how I come across, not because I don't care, but because of some inner confidence thing. I have no idea what the questions will be like, but it doesn't matter. I think my experiences this year doing what I did will come through no matter what I say. I hope. (also from here)
My father's birthday was Thursday...Happy Birthday if you're reading, Dad.

The weekend is almost here, and I cannot wait! 2 excellent, free days. Yay.
