It's not so much creativity

As motivation! Hmmm, they got about 75% right - not bad. Always thought I was ambidextrous!

Mind Media Brain Persuasion Test:

"Emily, you exhibit an even balance between left- and right- hemisphere dominance and a slight preference for visual over auditory processing. With a score this balanced, it is likely that you would have slightly different results each time you complete this self-assessment quiz.

You are a well-rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, you are logical and disciplined, can operate well within an organization, and are sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. You are organized and goal-directed. Although a 'thinking' individual, you 'take in' entire situations readily and can act on intuition.

You sometimes tend to vacillate in your learning styles. Learning might take you longer than someone of equal intellect, but you will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those other individuals. You will alternate between logic and impulse. This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so you may experience anxiety in situations where you are not certain which aspect of yourself will be called on.

With a slight preference for visual processing, you tend to be encompassing in your perceptions, process along multidimensional paths and be active in your attacking of situations or learning.
Overall, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are, perhaps, a little too critical of yourself -- and of others -- while maintaining an 'openness' which tempers that tendency.

Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity may not be in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, obvious and the more functional "

In other news, had a loverly time on Saturday, but sadly have confirmed that I don't much care for the third installment of Lord of the Rings *duck.* Hugh Jackman's Oklahoma! on the other hand is still...*shiver of delight.* Sadly, Chicago on the CD player is not aiding the blocking of Sighing Softly to the River (hmmm, can't think WHY! ;). Noticed that I have to have the Bergomask finished by Tuesday - augh! How how how precious? No, you can, dearheart. Nearly done blocking. Nearly there. (Then I realized: I was thinking out loud again.) Reading the same parrotted essay forty-five times is NOT delightful. Off to read the same parrotted essay only thirty-five times next. Danced to All that Jazz - good work out. I do so like things with definitive beats. Coldplay doesn't do enough with their drums. (And the ghost of James Joyce rises from his grave to strangle all those who follow in his footsteps.)

Mood: Snerk. No, they can't take that away from me!
Music: "They Both Reached for the Gun" from Chicago
Prayer: Jesus, I trust in Thee!
Edited to Add: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH! Beginning the "tough subjects" Monday: aka Marriage for Sophomores and Abortion for Seniors. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH! I know I have all my materials ready, but after such a long absence, it's always a little unnerving to step off into territory that hasn't been covered since last year. But it'll be fine. There's a comfort in having bungled through the mine-field of high schoolers on "issue subjects" before and survived. Must keep Ch.'s method in mind. Seemed to work well. Now, will I have to take his class? Ugh. Well, Lord, Thy will be done - but I'd be glad to keep my free. Will miss...well. Anywho, good thing I printed off all those abortionfacts.com info last year. Files: good stuff. Remembering where you PUT your files: even better. Lord, bless my students! Amen!
