Purportedly a Total Brainiac
I just have some unintentional knack for making people fussy with me =P heh
Wasted the entire day yesterday doing generally nothing at all. Developed an insane headache all of a sudden but it went away fairly quickly. Found a new favorite flower: the orange gerbera daisy. I bought two artificial ones at Hobby Lobby when their stems were half-off last week, and have them on the desk here. There sure are a lot of cuties at Hobby Lobby, too. Discovered that a guy I'd met once before works there, met him at a friend-gathering of sorts (mostly friends of a mutual friend) and we hit it off somewhat well considering we both speak French, although he is insanely better at it than I am. I can come up with a good response in French after like 4 minutes of figuring out what was just said in an "oh, duh! I should've known what that meant way faster" reaction =P
This week I hope I can get scheduled for two shots, a tetanus update and a Hep-A shot for the upcoming Kenya trip. The trip still seems half-and-half as far as whether it's on, although I know it is still full on, because I keep getting mixed impressions about whether the civil unrest is just overblown or really is something to avoid. In some articles, all the stores are closed.. but in others, tourists aren't having too much trouble with it.
Or leader dude, who will be making this March trip his seventieth short term mission trip, says he has near-daily contact with a bunch that are over there and they keep emphasizing that it's still OK to come down it seems. He said it's largely an issue between two major tribes that have a disagreement on a recent election tally, but that both tribes recognize the dire importance of missionaries and foreign assistant (like tourism) and have no issue with visitors bringing aid, since both tribes benefit. They agree than tourists and missionaries are off-limits from their political issues, so it seems like safe passage is very plausible. The lead guy also noted that our lodging is guarded by security personnel, so overnights should be no worry.
I'm considering making some sort of atypical eBay auction for messages that will be written in a notebook that will be taken to Kenya with me and then shredded and thrown into the landfill. They can be confessions, prayers, proclaimations of love, etc, and charge like $2 for each message, to help offset the costs of the trip. Good idea? Bad idea?
You Are a Total Brainiac
You're amazingly brilliant. Some would even say genius.
You're curious, thoughtful, analytical, and confident.
You take on difficult subjects because you want to... not because you have to.
No field of knowledge is too complicated or intimidating for you.
You've got the brains to do anything you want.
It's possible you end up doing everything you want.
