Fed Challenge orientation wasn't thrilling as such - lots of powerpoint presentations. New York was an interesting place to be today, though. If you saw an economist in a bright pink tie on the news this evening, you saw Mr. Malin, who is a professor at NYU (we think?) and a rather engaging speaker - even if he is just delivering a powerpoint. :P

The incidentals - trains, lunch, strolling around Manhattan, stopping by Ground Zero - were all pretty good. I am slightly sulky because I didn't get to inform the team of the alternative hypothesis of the buildings collapsing, but I suppose most people brush off conspiracy theories, even if they do seem disconcertingly irrefutable.

Adam used the word "arduous" in regular conversation. Who does that?

Anyway. I am tired, and I have homework, which sucks. I do not want to do homework. I want to sleep, and cuddle, and revel in the fact that I am no longer walking around New York City. But there is physics and stat and German to be done. And life is cruel.

A study in Erin's personality, and its change over time: approximately one year ago, I took a quiz on D&D alignment, and got the result in this post.

Just now, I took the same quiz again, and got this:

You scored as Neutral Good. A Neutral Good person tries to do the 'goodest' thing possible. These people are willing to work with the law to accomplish their goal, but if the law is corrupt they are just as willing to tear it down. To these people, doing what's right is the most important thing, regardless of rules, customs, or laws.

Okay. So. The last twenty-four hours (give or take) have been interesting.

Yesterday, I made myself abstain from napping. Ironically, yesterday was the day that this little study hit the media. Regardless: in order to stave off sleepiness, I went on a walk on the bike path and froze my fingers, and muchly enjoyed bopping to good walkin' tunes on my iPod. There is (or was) black ice on the bike path. Paying attention was critical.

I made hot cocoa when I got home, which was excellent. Naturally.

Anyway. I slept. Not enough, but then, I never do. Woke up, went to school. Mostly unremarkable day at school - Herr Carosella gave me a scholarship application, though, and I should do that. I should research that. I don't actually know what it's for. :P All day, the buzz was of tomorrow, and of school, or the very plausible lack thereof. Dear God, I need sleep. I would like a snow day.

Got home. Had maybe fifteen minutes before my mom got home and whisked me off to St. Peter's, where I had my U of Chicago interview. My interviewer was a really nifty pathologist. His office was stacked with innumerable slidemounts of tissue samples, arranged in a chaotic-yet-organized sort of way. The walls were covered in his own abstract paintings, tribal artifacts, assorted abaci, and - most of all - military history stuff. He seemed to get the impression that I would do exceptionally well at the University, and said he would write a good recommendation, and I quote - "if you don't get in, it won't be my fault."

Drove back to Niskayuna in rush hour, ate at Friendly's, went to the econ meeting. Sive was exasperated with me for forgetting everything I ever knew about economics. But I remember now. So all's well. Looks like we have adequate participation to actually do the competition, although I am still dubious, as neither Adam nor Melissa have shown any real signs of commitment yet. And I wish he'd let Max join in. Oh well.

Anyway. Got a ride home with Caitlin Horgan, promised I would never subject her to such torture again, and was intrigued to see a vaguely familiar-looking blue Civic in my driveway. Walked in, encountered very familiar white sneakers in the mudroom, and was pleasantly surprised by one Frank Ferraro, in my house with a single rose of my favorite variety and a Valentine's Day card written in Spanish (to counter mine, written in German). He is still sniffly, and he froze his hands thoroughly to drive over here and back, and he is wonderful, and I love him.

I finally gave in and poked about on Wikipedia during lunch today. I looked up Odin, and variants thereof. I like him. I like him a lot. His name is derived from a word which appears to have originated from something involving spiritual excitement, and has diverged into two separate meanings: fury, madness, violence, bloodlust, et cetera, and. . . poetry. Tell me how wonderful that is for Odin. Come on. You know it's fantastic.

"If Samuelson’s book has one take-home message, it’s that societies must promote economic growth now and for all time. With growth, we are all better off. Without growth, we cannot afford to help the poor or to clean up the environment. We must get richer by pumping more oil, mining more ore, chopping more trees, consuming more widgets, so that we have new wealth to tackle climate change from burning more oil, to restore habitat damaged by logging, to help people displaced and poisoned by mining, to dispose of broken widgets. Welcome to the growth treadmill."

You Can Change Your Life... With the Right Tools

The problem is, you don't know where to begin when it comes to change.
And you're likely to backslide the moment things start getting tough.
This isn't because you're a bad person, you just need more support and encouragement.
Take things slowly, change a little at a time, and don't beat yourself up if you slip.

Got two letters today, one reminding me yet again that I'm a National Merit Finalist, the other informing me that I'm not a Thomas Wolfe Scholarship finalist, which is fine. I think it is something with the W's; observe the precedent of United World College. If (by some strange stroke of luck) I get into and go to Princeton, I will almost certainly not get into the Woodrow Wilson school, because it has not one but THREE W's in it.

Even without the scholarship, UNC Chapel Hill is the least expensive school I've applied to. :P I think I'd take a certain amount of pleasure in going there and discovering the Thomas Wolfe scholar who beat me out, not to exact terrible revenge so much as to learn what sort of personality has the kind of writing portfolio the English Department folks are looking for. It could be highly informative, a testament to human nature. Or something.

I shall not sleep. Instead, I shall think upon what I will wear tomorrow, and practice the poem, and damn it, so sleepy. :(

Well, I survived today. I think I underscored myself by a lot on the goofy math competition, but that's not entirely surprising. Physics went fine, and I can make up my polisci balderdash tonight.

And tomorrow, I am John Donne. Rawr.

Ironic: the five news journals I wrote last night are effectually work ahead, since I'll be at the goofy AMC thing during polisci. Not that I'll do well, because I'm tired from staying up to write news journals.

And physics quiz.

BUGGER.

WHY DO I LIKE RADIOHEAD SO MUCH LATELY?

So far, I have collected five votes on the ideal mode of dress for my poetry recital: three for "nothing" and two for "something black and slinky with a conspicuous red accessory." Any other thoughts? :P

SO MANY POLSCI JOURNALS TONIGHT.

ERIN'S HEAD ASPLODE.

Speaking of asploding - physics quiz tomorrow. Bugger all.

Were I a responsible human being, I would put the next hour to good use by working on polisci journals. Am I reasonable today? I cannot say.

So this is what I intended to blog before Blogoogle went all "OMG UPGRADE" on my ass:

Your Love Type: INFP

The Idealist

In love, you crave a long term, harmonious relationship.
For you, sex doesn't come quickly - it takes time for you to open up.

Overall, you are supportive, nurturing, and expressive.
However, you tend to be shy and protective of your personal space.

Best matches: ENFJ and ESFJ
What's Your Love Type?


Maybe. :P

PFFFFT!

You Follow Your Head

You're rational, collected, and logical.
Generally, it takes you quite a while to fall in love.
In fact, you've even been accused of being very picky.
While you're cool, you're not ice cold.
You just know what you want, and don't mind waiting to get it.
Do You Follow Your Head or Your Heart?


Sure. Right. WHATEVER.

What Your Dreams Mean...

Your dreams seem to show that you're a bit disturbed... but nothing serious.

You may have a problem you're trying to work out in your sleep.

Your dreams tend to reflect your insecurities.

Your dreams indicate that you have very conflicted feelings.

You have a very vivid imagination and a rich creative mind.

You secretly want to hide your dreams from your waking mind.
What Do Your Dreams Mean?


I like the picture especially. It is so like me. :P YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY INTERNET-DIAGNOSED PSYCHOSES.

Lawful Good Half-Elf Monk Cleric


Alignment:
Lawful Good characters are the epitome of all that is just and good. They believe in order and governments that work for the benefit of all, and generally do not mind doing direct work to further their beliefs.

Race:
Half-Elves are a cross between a human and an elf. They are smaller, like their elven ancestors, but have a much shorter lifespan. They are sometimes looked down upon as half-breeds, but this is rare. They have both the curious drive of humans and the patience of elves.

Primary Class:
Monks dedicate themselves to persoanl perfection throughmeditating and study. They distill the essence of thier selves into powerful abilities and feats. They are spiritual without holding to a diety and have faith in the order of things.

Secondary Class:
Clerics are the voices of their God/desses on Earth. They perform the work of their deity, but this doesn't mean that they preach to a congregation all their lives. If their deity needs something done, they will do it, and can call upon that deity's power to accomplish their goals.

Erin slept! From 6 to 9:30! Oh man. I am unhealthy.

Tomorrow, I wish to be sloppy and red-clad at once. How will I do it? I suppose we will find out.
