(no subject)
It's been a long time since I've posted anything meaningfull to my LJ. I've even stopped posting links, though I'm still creating a pile of them to post in some future time.
This weekend has been an interesting one as I've managed to see two of my friends that I've barely seen/spent time with since the beginning of HS, and almost never seen since beginning of college. (Once per year short catch-up sessions just aren't the same). People change a lot in 5 years at this age. There was no way I would have predicted this future for them. On similar topic - big thanks to herbie and Matt (Who must look like an Adam).
In other news, my thesis is done, but the workload isn't easing up because I've become a slacker. After writing 27 page thesis (with figures), I need to revise it considerably for the three advisors that I have. Thankfully only Chip is being very liberal with the amount of work he wants me to do.
The part I really dislike about this end of the year is the fact that for the first time in over 6 years I have no plans set for a summer. Every year before this one I have worked the summer at a job (or research job), but this year I want to relax. However, that still implies having some type of plan for the summer, which seem to be lacking. I've planned so far a 2 week vacation at the beginning of summer and then I have to start work sometime in middle of August. (I still need to get back in touch with my employer about details)
This means that I'm right now trying to come up with something that could take up about 2 months in the middle of summer that wouldn't involve me sitting in my room at home and playing XBox/computer games. If anyone has any suggestions - I welcome them.
Your brain: 0% interpersonal, 100% visual, 40% verbal, and 260% mathematical!
Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy
doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than
average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing
about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers.
Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 0% on interpersonal
You scored higher than 86% on visual
You scored higher than 73% on verbal
You scored higher than 99% on mathematical

That meme seems to imply that I'm a scary, non-communicable geek. I thought that I have made some progress this year on the inter-personal communication.

Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:
- Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%.
- Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%.
- Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.
