It's true








Aspiring Librarian
You scored 55% on knowledge of librarianship.
You're getting there - you know more than most people about libraries. Maybe you're starting Library School and getting yourself ready to take over the profession. Or maybe you already work in a library but just don't know some of the history and details. But, you're more of an aspiring librarian than a full-fledged librarian.

Test!












Snuffleupagus

You scored 52% Organization, 48% abstract, and 42% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables.


First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean.


Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type.


Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert.
By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an
extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was
somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more
about herself.


You are somewhat organized, both concrete and abstract, and both introverted and extroverted.



I bet you didn't think you were Snuffleupagus. Let's find out why.



You are both somewhat organized. You have a good
idea where you put things and you probably keep your place reasonably
clean. You aren't totally obsessed with neatness though. Alloyius
Snuffleupagus (and all Snuffleupagus') is not sloppy by nature, but he
moves so incredibly slowly that it is impossible for him to be totally
organized.


You both are about equally concrete and abstract thinkers. You have a
good balance in your life. You know when to be logical at times, but
you also aren't afraid to explore your dreams and desires... within
limits of course. Snuffy generally has very basic interests, but he
explores his abstract sensitive side when he plays his snuffleflute.


You both are somewhat introverted. Originally Snuffleupagus was very
shy and was only Big Bird's invisible friend. However as he has aged he
has started to build new friendships with new characters. Like Snuffy,
you probably like to have some time to yourself. However, you do
appreciate spending time with your friends, and you aren't scared of
social situations.


The other possible characters are

Oscar the Grouch

Big Bird

Cookie Monster

Ernie

Elmo

Kermit the Frog

Grover

The Count

Guy Smiley

Bert


If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also if you want
to tell me your favorite Sesame Street character, I can total them up
and post them here. Perhaps your choice will win!

Thanksgiving holiday

Woo-hoo!

4 day weekend, baby!

So far this week I've:
Sucessfully roasted a turkey
Cleaned the downstairs, with help from my mother and sister
Hung out with Gorman, Ethan and Tess, and Clare, and some random friends of Gorman
Cleaned my room
Bought a printer
Unclogged a drain

I feel so...useful.

Now, cleaning the landing.

Photos from Wyoming!

Hey there boys and girls!  Just got my photos from Wyoming

developed.  They're somewhat uninteresting, because, well, wyoming

and Field Camp aren't all that exciting.  But who cares?





This is the lovely Jen, throwing an apple, in a van, somewhere on the outskirts of Yellowstone Park:

This is the Camp Director, Bob, doing his "sexy" pose, and apparently floating in mid air.  As geologists are want to do.:

Yours truley, in front of what I believe to be the Grand Tetons.

Filler entry

I've changed the template for the blog again. It isn't particularly good, but it should do for now. And never fear, for those of you who check the blog only for the links to other people's sites, they are still there, albeit under a blog test about theologans.

Not much going on in Ryanania. There's a dog living in the house who I haven't mentioned. Her name is Leela, because we found her at the orphanarium. She's a Jack Russle terrier/Beagle mix, and looks rather like a skinny beagle on stilts.

Which is nifty. I have some photos somewhere, and maybe I'll post some later.

My final, actual graduation from Washu is coming ever closer, which is very good. For those of you who say "Isn't the August graduation date the 15th? Aren't you graduated now?" -- don't be silly. That would make sense. And the last thing Washu seems to want to do is make sense. My graduation will probably be finalized sometime in very early September, and that's when they'll mail me the diploma. But it will have an August 15th date on it.

Well, that's it.
