Ten day break starts on Saturday. Thank God! My brain was beginning to feel like mush. I have it all planned out. I’m going to wash all the dirty stuff that piles up even I try to wash every week. Then I’m going to clean my room, and file all the loose papers that are heaped on my desk. Then I’m going to clean my wardrobe and line it and everything. I need to wash my sneakers. But I am not just going to work on empathising with the helper. I’m also going to start studying for the my intro to organizational psych test so it isn’t as much of a surprise as the first one was. I had studied, I had, promise, but when I finished with my student number and looked down. Number 1 was gibberish, number 2 mandarin, number 3 Shakespearean English and then finally number 4, was in English. I beamed, maybe only the first questions were hard to weed out the weak. I had smiled too soon. Number 4 was in modern English but it was multiple choice and not nice multiple choice. Lemme give you an example

Nice multiple choice

What is facebook?

a. A cow
b. A story about faces
c. A social utility that connects you with the people around you
d. This is not the answer


Mean multiple choice

What is facebook?

I A social utility that connects you with people around you
II Similar to hi5, tagged, etc…
III An online thingamajig that connects you to a variety of other people through different types of networks, including schools, jobs, countries, etc
IV Something that makes Mark Zuckerberg rich

a. ALL
b. I, II, & III
c. II, III, & IV
d. I, II, & IV

That confused me. I had the right answer at the beginning. Oh well, psychometrics is not something I ever intend to make my money from. Going back to that test… I’m gonna go in guns blazing next time, rock the lecturers out of their horn rimmed spectacles. Dude, they make glasses look so uncool! Even my aunt finally styled up. No seriously, she just wore the same pair from 1987 or so till 2007. I'm sure they were pretty hot but so was MJ. She finally styled up, got a nice pair, they even get dark in direct sunlight. Tints! That’s what’s up!

And I’m buying myself a huge slab of chocolate, and a book. I need an incentive. They will sit on the cleanest part of the room, my pillow and I will not touch them until my laundry pile loses the resemblance to an obese five year old. Wish me luck!
