Tests @ MindSay



 

   
What's the meaning of life? Spiritual Growth! We are tested and then we grow.
This prayer, revealed by 'Abdu'l-Baha, is great for everyone, all the time!

"O God!
Refresh and gladden my spirit.
Purify my heart.
Illumine my powers.
I lay all my affairs in Thy hand.
I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved;
I will be a happy and joyful being.
O God!
I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me.
I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life.
O God!
Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself.
I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord."
                                                        --'Abdu'l-Baha

This is my new motto for life! From it i have created my own daily affirmation:
"O God!  I lay all my affairs in Thy hand.  I am a happy and joyful being. I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord."
 
 
   
 

My "Sense of Humor"
I am taking a graduate writing class which is basically grammar 101. I hate grammar. Anyway the prof is that cute guy and I am currently taking all three quizzes and the midterm back to back on line and question 8 states:
Which is correct:
A: At the store I bought: silver bullets, a wooden stake, and onions.
B: At the store I bought the following items; silver bullets, a wooden stake, and onions.
C: At the store I bought silver bullets, a wooden stake, and onions.
D: At the store I bought, silver bullets, a wooden stake and onions.

Of course the correct answer is A but I feel compelled to e-mail him that none are correct because he should have purchased garlic and not onions.

I wonder if he does this on purpose considering how he's written other quiz questions. It's a little frustrating because he will have question on citation forms but he doesn't specify which thing he's using MLA, APA, or whatever so... I'm really just stabbing in the dark. I'm going to bet MLA.

FYI I got question 8 wrong... if anyone knows which is correct please let me know. Was it supposed to be C?

See and now I second guess things all the time... question 15:
Which is correct:
A: Please read the gospels for nest time: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
B: For next time, please read: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Is B correct because it's just correct or was A supposed to be correct and he accidently typed "nest" and now both are wrong and I just don't know why B would be wrong?? I'm putting B.

Haha "Our tutors are well trained." or "Our tutors are well-trained." haha I wonder what it was like being well-trained.

This is a prof after my own heart. One of the midterm questions is:
Which of these choices correctly completes this sentence?
If I _______ you, I ______ kill myself.
was; could
were; will
were; would
was; will

Lord all mighty the next one is better:
Choose the correct sentence"
A Americano is my favorite drink at Starbucks.
An Americano is my favorite drink at starbucks.
The Americano is the favorite drink at Starbucks
Americano is my favorite drink at Starbucks.

Though I think this should be said, "The Americano is my favorite drink at Starbucks" but it's not a choice.

Ok so I got a B on the midterm, I think that's well enough to have tested out.

Additional humor is added by the knowledge that I was somehow put in the Korean Only section of this class (we have a huge Korean student population here) A lot of his questions use phrases and idioms specific to American culture... I wonder if it makes the tests at all culturally biased. He had some questions where you were supposed to rewrite the sentence so it was correct and for like 5 of them it was stuff like, "Toby works in human relations at Dunder Mifflin, a paper company." or "It is true that wolves are the number one threat to office workers of north-eastern Pennsylvania based midsize paper companies."

As a ps I just got an e-mail from my dad it was just a reminder that he and Valary were taking Travis to school this week. It was sent to my sister and cc'd to my brother and I... does that tell you something or what?
 
 
 

   
I'm not QUITE an anarchist

You scored 85% Social freedom, 90% Econ. freedom, and 85% Polit. freedom!

I have decided to take a leaf off the Political Compass and not put categories in my test, let people figure out by themselves where they stand with my help. However, I will provide a general guideline to what the scores generally represent. On the social axis, a low score represents social conservatism. It represents an affinity to conservative values such as nationalism and cultural conservatism. A high score represents a rejection of such values for more progressive ones such as cultural liberalism, multiculturalism and internationalism. On the economic axis, a low score represents a desire for tighter control of industry, and perhaps abolition of private capital ownership in favour of worker ownership or government ownership of the means of production. A high score demonstrates a desire to let market forces sort economic problems out by themselves, with little or no help from the government. The political axis is the one that probably not a lot of you have seen before. It measures to what extent you favour the government being carried out by bureaucratic State institutions, and to what extent you want it carried out by the people, either in the form of collective local governance (Direct democracy, citizen's assemblies, workers councils...) or by individuals via the marketplace and charities with no government involvement. A minarchist would want the State government reduced to only its most basic functions, while an anarchist would want no state governance whatsoever, its functions completely taken over by the aforementioned institutions. Libertarianism isn't an ideology of conservatism or progressivism. It isn't based on an idealized version of the past or a more modern outlook. Both can fit quite comfortably within libertarian philosophy. Libertarianism is nothing more or less than a philosophy of state non-intervention.

This is all well and good, but where is the cool picture?  What kind of cheap-ass test is this if I don't get a picture of something?
 
 
   
 

Hola mi compadres!
When was the last time I actually updated this blog? Eh, whatever...

I'm done with Finals and finally back home. Just started work yesterday and I'm going to keep on working everyday until March! I'm going to study abroad in Germany 2008!!! AHHH! I'm so excited! I got my acceptance letter and it's pretty much official now....ahhh..I'll be in Germany for 6 MONTHS!! HOW EFFING AWESOME IS THAT!?!?!?! Finally...I've waited so long for this...

So what's new with everyone? I'll find out one way or another! :D
 
 
 

   
Finals week, yo.
Monday: Socio exam at 8:30am, Hist exam at 3:50pm. Oi. I hope I don't screw up in History. I need to at least get a B out of that class....jeez, it's been such a bitch this semester.
Tuesday: Final critique in 3D at 10:30. Write up to go with the project is also due. I'm thinking of bringing in some snacks for a little "party." I've really enjoyed the class and made a lot of new friends. The people in there are awesome and I'm going to miss not having Travis as a professor next semester.
Wednesday: FREE day thank God! I'll need it to catch up!
Thursday: Last final! Yay! Final critique in Drawing (mondo huge self-portrait is due. Eeep!) at 3:30. Jeez...I'm going to miss Ira after this semester. Thank goodness I haven't had enough time to fall hard for him. I don't need to be in that state ever again.
Friday: Party hard with Greg, Donna, Sis, [possibly] Mama, and me. Yeah it should be an absolute blast.
Saturday: Mama walks! Woohoo! I need to figure out something nice (but warm--50 degrees is too effing cold, people!) to wear.
Sunday: I'm not doing a damn thing if I can help it. Lazy days are here to stay.

At some point next week (hopefully Monday) I'm going to Ryan's gift off at the post office. I know it's cutting it close to the end of the semester but in all honesty I don't really give a damn if he gets it in a week, a month, or if it even goes to his box. Who knows? Maybe I'll have the wrong addy and it will get sent to someone who will appreciate it. Either way, after that my hands are washed of him. No more.
