Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back to the arms of grace"

This summer at Navy Camp, we had to take the Meyers-Briggs personality test.  I came out as an ESFP (extroverted, sensing, feeling, perceiving), and basically, nothing in personality type seemed to fit me (it's called the "diva" personality), ( Read more... )

Not a whole lot new in the world of Amanda.  There have been vast amounts of reading... and that's about it.

Highlights of the prior week:

• Seeing the B&N Twins again.  I missed seeing them, their tandem bike and their "creative" outfits
• Lunch w/Garry, Renee and PBL Jen.  I have determined that Garry is just weird.  Sometimes he acknowledges my ( Read more... )

I've been thinking about this a lot lately... mainly because I'm supposed to be studying, and daydreaming and contemplating what goes on in my head is much more fun.

I've decided that if there was an opportunity for me to have a relationship (purely hypothetical, there is no guy), I wouldn't know what I want.  I know I definitely don't want to meet ( Read more... )

Phew… ok, I’m in need of a major update here.

( My Summer Vacation (Up to OIS) )

I'm here at Navy camp and still alive... exhausted, but still alive. So far I've done push-ups until I've collapsed, run until it made me sick, saved a sinking ship, put out a fire in full fireman gear and used my uniform as a life jacket. Plus we have at least 5 hours of class per day. I'm completely exhausted, but the people are nice, so I'm ( Read more... )

Randomness...

Gah!  I have been sooooooo lazy lately.  I just can't motivate myself to study.  I just want to sleep!!!!

On that note, I've developed "Second-Year-Syndrome," while still in my first year.  Second-Year-Syndrome is where you think you have all the diseases that you're studying...  like right now, we're doing thyroid, and I'm pretty ( Read more... )

From a guy who went to OIS (Navy Camp) last summer:

"You will have a Chief and an officer assigned to your company (group of fellow HPSP'ers), my company had ~30. The Chief is a 'Red Roper' the Navy's version of a Drill Sergeant. They will be in direct control of just about every aspect of your life for the full 4 weeks. The average day is as ( Read more... )
