Brain Dominance

Last weekend, I took a brain dominance exam to figure out what part of my brain is,of course, dominant although I have always believed my left part is superior than my right part. The result was a balance between the two. Below are the questions and my answers plus the results:

Find a piece of paper and note the characteristics which apply to you.Then look at the answer key and check to see which characteristics are left brain (L) and which right brain (R).Sum them up and discover whether you are left brain or right brain dominant.

Left brain individuals are analytical, articulate and to the point. They like identifying details and are more logical than intuitive. Left brained people have good communication and persuasion skills.
Right brain individuals are intuitive, creative and imaginative. They are flexible and are concerned with the bigger picture rather than details. They are impulsive and spontaneous and do not like time limits. They have difficulty explaining ideas verbally and prefer illustrations to verbal instructions.

Amazing! I didn't expect it would be a balance. Looking at the explanation above, I agree. I am articulate. I prefer speaking to writing. My verbal communication skills are more enhanced since I have always been exposed to that kind of environment rather than writing. On the other hand, the attributes I have on the right part of my brain is my spontaneity and seeing the bigger picture that I fail to see the details in between and yes I DO NOT LIKE LIMITS, admittedly.

Back to Pressure- I missed it!

So, finally here's one that is actually talking to you, not some poem I had written or what-have-yous. Honestly, I already created an account about 3 months ago under a different user name. It would have been wise for me to use that instead of having to create a new account again and go through the whole process. Sadly, I forgot my password. (What's new?)

Anyways, it's All Saints Day today yet I took the day to rest instead of going home to Baggao and visit my loved ones in the cemetery. I have a very hectic schedule. I work as a college instructor at the same time studying law, so i hope you could imagine how hectic my schedule can be especially during those days where i have to fly from St. Louie to CCT since i only have 15 mins before my law class starts. Whew! believe me it's such a nice feeling when I arrive and my professor is not yet in. Euphoric! Thank Goodness, I was able to survive my First Semester with not much "me being late" episodes. I just don't know about the grades,though. No results yet. My fingers are crossed. I hope I made it. College of Law is entirely different from college, the pressure is doubled and it is aptly described "sink or swim" that at times I entertain the thoughts of quitting yet at the back of my mind, I live for the pressure. I feel incomplete without it. It is,as if, the only thing that I am sure of and has control over.

Come Monday ( 03 Nov), another semester, another endeavor.
Wish me luck!
