Seriously, I wish I had a magic machine that would create the perfect school schedule for me each term, without me having to try to figure it out. It would make life so very much easier.
While we're at it, let's just have it plan out the next few years for me. There are simply too many options, decisions, and things to fit into place.
It doesn't help that I analyze each possible decision and worry over my decisions. It's funny, my friend and I often talk about how we over-analyze things and worry over the little details, and just today in my practicum class we learned more about different personality types. I completely saw myself in nearly every example of the personality traits for the "analytical" personality. It was actually a bit scary how much like me the descriptions are. I'm thinking about buying the book that the personality profile is based on (Personality Plus by Florence Littauer) because I find it all fascinating in a scary sort of way.
Now, where can I get that magic machine...

I read Personality Plus last year. I don't really like personality 'study', as it seems to just give people a license to be jerks. But - my co-worker insisted I read it, and I really liked it. What I liked best was that it described all the personalities in the first half of the book, and the second half described what weaknesses to avoid with each type! The funny part was, I was going through underlining stuff and putting exclamation points next to everything I liked, and then I got to my type's weaknesses and it said, 'you're too forceful, even when you write you use exclamation points and underline everything!'
That is funny! It's crazy how accurate (and eye-opening) the descriptions can be. I know with me, some of the strengths/weaknessses were things I hadn't really thought about but described me perfectly. I think I will have to buy the book.
