You scored as Jigsaw. You are Jigsaw. You dont enjoy killing people at all. You instead love to see how far people will go to live. However if it ends in a bloody death, you still sleep with a smile on your face.
You are intelligent, and know how to outwit just about anyone. And that spells bad news for anyone who falls into your games of death and torture.

Which Horror Killer are You?

School is about to get ridiculously stressful. There's only 5 weeks left of it but that means that I have only five weeks to research and write 2 papers, finish up a bunch of Paleography assignments, put together four more presentations, and write some program notes. I'm not entirely sure about my ability to do all of it in time.
Friends at school tell me that I've been illusive and I think they're right - somehow I've tricked myself into thinking that if I lock myself away I must be being productive; ironically, I'm infinitely happier when I'm around other people. I've been more responsible with deadlines lately but not as responsible as I'd like to be. Perfectionism is paralyzing.
My SSHRC didn't go through. I'm not sure why it didn't and I'm not sure if I should ask at all. It could have been my GPA (approx. 3.5 when the minimum qualifying GPA at McGill is 3.7) but I suspect that it might have been my choice of topic. I researched the shit out of the whole application process even going so far as to solicit successful proposals, analyse their writing style and apply it to my own - there's no possible way I could have put forward a better application.
A McGill psychologist recently told me that grad students have been shown to procrastinate more than undergrads. She told me that it's linked to perfectionism which completely makes sense. Lately I've been noticing the human side of my "collegues" - they panic, put things off, worry, and become discouraged too. I seldom consider that when I'm under the competition gun and feeling like they're superhumans.
I haven't really organized my thoughts above but for once I'll let myself let it go. I don't know my future after this weekend and I don't want to.
