...But I'm Pro at Pretending to be a Ninja!
It's weird being called a "strong personality," but also vaguely enlightening. I self-depricate a lot and I pander to people, but when I really stop to think about it, I do have a distinct voice, and I'm pretty firmly committed to the things that I believe. Mostly, I'm held back by fear of failure and rejection, but I'm honestly starting to get used to the rejection thing. I don't really think I'm strong, but then, I'm a little too close to have an objective opinion. I always assumed the phrase 'He doesn't know his own strength' applied to physical strength, but it can work in this situation too. Kara's a pretty smart person, and I wish I talked to her more often.
I know my voice is something I'm proud of, and I guess I can't afford to get too offended when someone doesn't like how I say things. Some personalities just clash, and when all of your strategies don't work, you just have to walk away.
This morning I slept through my alarm for (I think) the first time this semester. Quiz day, of course. But Hsieh holds quizzes at the end of the class and I was only twenty minutes late, so that at least turned out okay. I had a weird dream about my workplace getting remodeled, and I felt out of place and in the way as my coworkers were all doing stuff around me. One of our computers caught a virus and complained very loudly and suddenly, which scared me a bit. I don't think that was my alarm going off in real life, but I do wonder if it was my internal clock telling me it was about nine o'clock. Sadly, though, it wasn't scary enough to actually wake me, so I resided in dreamland for a little while longer.
