5 down, 3 to go

Exams are just cruising by. I had a practical exam yesterday in the morning, and now I don't have another exam until the 21st. That exam doesn't cover much material, either. I took yesterday and much of today off from studying. I've watched five movies in that time, and I plan to put on one more and possibly study at the same time. I also played Sudoku for a couple hours. As you might guess, I do not feel very motivated to study right now!

This morning I went to a little seminar about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. It is a sort of personality test that looks at your preferences for how to do things. I came out as an ESFJ (Extrovert Sensing Feeling Judging) type. Last time when I took it (in 1988) I came out as an ENFP. Last year I bought a book about personality and communication in health care. It used MBTI types. Now I'll be able to go back and look at that book, then experiment a bit on my clinical placements this summer. Speaking of which, I made my living arrangements today for my placement in Regina next month. I'm going to stay at the hostel at the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre. It's going to be quite convenient, and will cost me approximately $300 for the five weeks (gotta love cheap prices for students). I'm looking forward to getting away for a while!

I'm INTP, but close to the middle on the T/F and P/J scores. Even fairly close on I/E. Hard to classify, but hopefully reasonably well balanced :-)

Good luck on the rest of your exams. I still have more than a month before mine start, but no classes left. Very odd.
