25 Things...

remulaSo, I feel really bad for not updating my LJ in forever.. I miss updating so much. ;_; It was a stress-reliever and a chance to get everything else, but I'm always so busy now.. And when I'm not busy, I'm too tired to compose a post, so yeah.. But I'll try my hardest from now on!
I have a midterm to study for, but I did this earlier today on Facebook, since everyone else was doing it, so yeah...
I'm not gonna "tag" anyone here, but take it if you want (that is, if you even read my LJ anymore, haha).
Once you've been tagged, you have to write a note with 25 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose some people to be tagged, and they have to do the same.
1. I'm an INTJ. I pretty much agree with everything that it says except for the part which says that INTJs are good at decision-making, 'cause I'm very indecisive at most things.
2. I've never aspired to be an architect (and I don't think I'm really good at it) -- being an architecture major just kinda happened and I've spent too long here to not finish it out. I figure I can always get other degrees when I figure out my true calling.
3. When I was a senior in high school, our teachers gave a unique award to everyone in the school ('cause it was a small school and they all knew us). Some of the awards were like, "Most Likely to Wear a Pink Shirt" and "Best Girl/Guy to Bring Home to Mom" and things like that. I was awarded "Most Likely to Take Over the World and Perfect Attendance". I thought it was weird that there was technically two different titles for my award while everyone else just got one. Also, I was slightly embarrassed and I still can't figure out if they meant the taking over the world thing in a good "oh she's smart" kinda way or in a "she's so evil way".
4. The guys in CTA (my school) always said I was evil, but after receiving the award stated above, they started asking me not to kill them (and stuff) after I took over the world.
5. I was in ROTC in high school for three years and was also part of the Unarmed Drill Team.
6. I was valedictorian in high school. My valedictorian speech was about procrastination, lol. Obviously I am unable to follow my own advice to not procrastinate.
7. I wanted to be a writer for a long time, but I don't think I could ever be an English major. Also, now that I'm in architecture, I think my writing skills have gone downhill...
8. My goal in life is to write a book. About what, I'm not sure, but it will happen someday, so you guys better buy my book! XP
9. I'm a planner. I love planning and scheduling things. I could find a job where I could plan and not have to talk to people all the time, then my life would be set. Too bad mostly all planning jobs require you to interact a lot with people...
10. I love making lists. To-Do lists are the best, in conjunction with making schedules to get things done. Unfortunately, I have a hard time completing my to-do lists on-time, even with all the schedules I make.
11. I'm pretty sure that I should have chosen to major in engineering. Almost everyone tells me that I think like an engineer or that I look like an engineer (how can you look like an engineer?). I would get offended except I know it's true.
12. Although I'm pretty good in technical areas (except physics -- I suck at physics), my grades in college have disagreed with me. If you saw my rows of C's (and a few scattered B's) for math, physics, ARCE, etc.. you would probably think I would be no help what-so-ever in those subjects, but I actually understand the stuff -- I just suck at test-taking. I'd probably need to review it for a few minutes though, if I haven't done it in a while, but I can usually figure out how to do it, especially if it's math.
13. I like being organized and having everything neat and orderly, but if you saw my room, you would think I was a complete slob. Fortunately (or unfortunately for me), I'm only a slob in my own personal spaces.
14. I'm a pretty passive person until people go too far and piss me off -- then I'm pretty scary. Lucky for everyone, I have a pretty high tolerance for what I am willing to accept from people, so the scary side doesn't come out often.
15. I hate public speaking -- I would much rather be in charge behind the scenes. Someone else can be the public figure for me.
16. I have a tendency to take too many classes, even though I know that I can't really handle it without having my grades suffer. This could partly be due to the fact that the one (and only time) I took 12 units, I had my worst quarter GPA ever. But mostly I think it's because I want to learn everything and I figure I'm paying for the quarter anyway, so why not maximize it?
17. I'm taking Mandarin (with credit by examination this quarter), but I really suck at speaking. On the other hand, I'm awesome at reading comprehension. XD Unfortunately, I think that learning Mandarin is making my already limited Cantonese even worse.
18. I'm obsessed with listening to music. I have over 20GB of music on my laptop, but I'm always wanting more.
19. I have never really traveled, ever. Going to SLO was the farthest I've ever gone from SD. I've never even crossed the border even though it's like 30 minutes away from my house. In my first year of college, we went on a field trip to SF and that has become the farthest I've ever gone. In October, I went to Arizona for an AIAS conference, but I don't really count that since I didn't really get to spend much time there since I missed my plane in the beginning and had to leave earlier than everyone else.
20. People always say that I have too many things open on my computer. I just think it's more convenient to have up the stuff I use a lot anyway, since I won't have to re-open it later.
21. I love to read, but only for fun. Reading for class sucks and even if the book is good, I would still hate reading it at the time because it's for class.
22. The only wish I've ever had related to being an architect was to design my own house so I could have a giant library. I want to fill it with a ton of books, but books are expensive, so I need to make a bunch of money first.
23. I think being ambitious is one of the most important character traits to have. It's hard for me to respect someone if they don't have the drive for success. This is probably why I like Slytherin the most in the Harry Potter books. I still firmly believe that Slytherin is the best, even though JKR didn't really redeem them much in the end (she's sending a bad message to kids, damnit!). This is also why Albus Severus Potter must be a Slytherin! XP It would be unacceptable to me any other way.
24. I love watching anime and I was pretty much obsessed with Gundam Wing for a while. Even though I know some people might think that it was boring because it was very political, more about character development, and not really the same as the other Gundam series, I still think it's the best one.
25. My all time favorite anime (and manga) is Hikaru no Go. If you haven't watched/read it, you must because it's just that awesome.
Back to study-age!
Will update soon! (I hope!)
