the Helper
Test finished! |
you chose CX - your Enneagram type is TWO.
"I must help others"
Helpers are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs.
How to Get Along with Me
- Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific.
- Share fun times with me.
- Take an interest in my problems, though I will probably try to focus on yours.
- Let me know that I am important and special to you.
- Be gentle if you decide to criticize me.
What I Like About Being a Two
- being able to relate easily to people and to make friends
- knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
- being generous, caring, and warm
- being sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings
- being enthusiastic and fun-loving, and having a good sense of humor
What's Hard About Being a Two
- not being able to say no
- having low self-esteem
- feeling drained from overdoing for others
- not doing things I really like to do for myself for fear of being selfish
- criticizing myself for not feeling as loving as I think I should
- being upset that others don't tune in to me as much as I tume in to them
- working so hard to be tactful and considerate that I suppress my real feelings
Twos as Children Often
- are very sensitive to disapproval and criticism
- try hard to please their parents by being helpful and understanding
- are outwardly compliant
- are popular or try to be popular with other children
- act coy, precocious, or dramatic in order to get attention
- are clowns and jokers (the more extroverted Twos), or quiet and shy (the more introverted Twos)
Twos as Parents
- are good listeners, love their children unconditionally, and are warm and encouraging (or suffer guilt if they aren't)
- are often playful with their children
- wonder: "Am I doing it right?" "Am I giving enough?" "Have I caused irreparable damage?"
- can become fiercely protective

| I had the most random person today tell me that I look like I've lost some weight. One of the guys T works with in the furniture business told me that today! I was wearing my running zip-up jacket and baggy jeans, and he could still tell. Makes me super-happy on one hand. On the other, however, I think - gosh, was I a porker or what? Sigh.
I did notice, however, that I can see my cheekbones again! My face is still chubby when I smile, but goshdarnit, my cheekbones are coming back. I've missed them.
On the school front, I bought my books this morning. One of my classes isn't using a book, one is using reproduced material that is not ready yet, and my grand total was still almost $550. Shoot me now. I think that's my record.
Only a few more months to go, guys! Woohoo! | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| | I got a B+ on my A paper! Woohoo! I didn't do as well in Secured Trans, but I'll take it. I'm still nervous about Admin and Income Tax. Ugh. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| I LOVE not having to get up and study. I LOVE not having to get up and take an exam. I LOVE not having that knot in my stomach, knowing that I should be working on something. Yay for Christmas break!
Hope everyone's having TONS of fun! :) Merry (early) Christmas! | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| It sucked. It shouldn't have been hard, and I don't think it was that hard, I just couldn't get it together. I rocked part of it, but just blabbed on the rest. I don't like 8 hour finals - gives me way too much time to overthink things and screw around. I'm a sprinter, not a marathoner.
Oh, well. It's over. One more to go. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| So I knew that something had been missing in my life lately, I just couldn't figure out what it was. After many weeks of pondering the issue, I realized...
red sparkly nail polish. That's what been missing. My toes are now red, sparkly masterpieces. I am now happy. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| Well, admin's now officially out of the way. I don't know how to feel about it, except that it's done.
Right after I finished the test, I checked my email to find that one of our fellow students has been recalled to the Army. He has to report next month and will be going to Iraq. He doesn't expect to be home until July 2007. Keep him in your thoughts, because I'm sure this is a really stressful time for him and his family. I can't imagine being thisclose to graduating and being yanked out of law school, on top of everything else. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |

| | Well, Tiffany's is sending T home an hour and a half early, due to the icy road conditions. They were a man short for today, too, so the roads must be bad. Irene (from Victims for EK and EM) said it took her an hour and a half to get home this afternoon, where it usually takes her 10 minutes. Ugh! | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |

| Did I choose to take the essay exam for Admin? I know I'll probably do better, but studying for and taking a multiple choice exam just sounds so much better right now.
Did I mention this test is closed-book, closed-notes? Ick. Yuck. Blech. Torture.
Okay, returning to the E&E EK was nice enough to lend to me! :) | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| I LOVE my hair! I finally got my hair done yesterday, and I'm very happy. It's a lot darker than before, but it's pretty darn close to my natural color. I think. Feels good to have some color again!
Okay, off to Fred Meyers to order some contacts, and then back here for STUDYING. Only a few more days, only a few more days.
Hey - question for those of you who have taken Victims. Do you have to take it off-campus, or can you go to the seminar rooms? I've never had an 8- or 24-hour final! Augh, my first. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| Ack. I was meaning to take Victims today to get it out of the way, and I just don't have the energy to take it. I still have Admin and ST to take, too. Blech. Writing my paper and darn income tax really screwed up my final schedule. And my motivation.
Oh, well. I should probably study for Admin today, anyways, since it's closed-book and I opted for the essay exam. What was I thinking? LOL.
Good luck to everyone "examing" (from EK) today! :) | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Aaugh. I'm off to take my tax final in a couple hours. I swear, the more I study this crap the less it makes sense. Why in the world did I take this class???
I can't wait to come back home and take a nap. Sigh.
Hope everyone else's studying/final-taking is going better than mine! :) | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| Frosting! That's why I can't study. I've been missing my comfort study food - frosting straight from the can.
Well, no worries. I'm now loaded up with frosting. Haggen's didn't have my favorite (vanilla with chocolate chips!), but I'll live.
Now off to cram more tax..... | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| | Congrats to everyone I know who passed the MPRE. I'm just so glad it's over, and we won't have to worry about it later. One down! Yay! | | comments: 8 comments or Leave a comment |
| So my A paper is done. I emailed it to my prof at 11:55 pm. Woohoo for making deadlines. It's not my best piece of work, and I barely had time to proofread it. But it's done!
Now onto studying/outlining for Tax. That'll be fun-filled and action-packed. LOL | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| Sigh. Our washer has been sounding funny, and acting funny, for the last couple of weeks. Of course - who's had time to deal with it? Until last night, when it decided to flood in our washer/dryer closet. Which is upstairs, of course.
Luckily, my Sears hero was able to come out this morning. What caused the disaster? A stray bra underwire punctured the drain hose. He has to special order a new hose, because of course it's so new they don't have spare parts just lying around. When should it be fixed? Monday. Sigh.
Moral of the story - bras are killer. | | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment |
| how one piece of mail can make you want to throw up.
T got his discharge certificate from the USMC in the mail yesterday. Unfortunately, the return address was the "Mobilization Department". Even though I logically know that he's officially out and cannot be recalled, that piece of mail still made me want to throw up. Heart racing, I opened it (yes, I've been known to open T's mail before - LOL) and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw what it was. Weirdly enough, though, it was also a half-sigh of sadness. I know that T's going to feel sad when he sees it. It's just the end of an era in our lives, an era that I know he still misses.
Getting that piece of paper just takes me back. To when he was deployed the first time, and middle-of-the-night phone calls were a good thing. He would call me at 3 am from Thailand, Singapore, or Australia. Poor Kacie wouldn't even care that the phone inevitably woke her up, too. I would get up in the morning and check my email every two minutes until I heard from him. His second deployment was harder. It was right after 9/11, and I never knew where he was. I heard from him less often than before, but still on a regular basis. I was so busy with finishing up my senior year that his deployment flew by. He surprised me by coming home just in time for my college graduation - that was such a great weekend.
After his last deployment, middle of the night phone calls still make my heart pound. I absolutely hate the doorbell. Just thinking about that deployment makes me cry. I am still so grateful to Mandi and Mark, who wouldn't let me be alone the first few nights of the war. I remember getting a phone call from another wife, who had just heard that ground troops were headed in. I remember going outside, looking up at the sky, and thinking that somewhere across the world - my husband was headed across the border.
As we were walking into Starbucks this morning, both of us saw The Oregonian. The front page is an article about the ten Marines who were killed in the last day or so. Both of us saw it, looked at each other, but didn't say a word. Both of us are grateful that he's home, that we're together, and that he's fine. I was just talking to EB about this the other day - that sometimes he drives me so crazy that I jokingly wish he would be deployed again. Then my heart stops and I realize what I'm saying - we spent 4 years waiting to be together. Everyday of those four years, I wished that he either wasn't deployed or was out. Now that I have what I want, I need to be more appreciative of it. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| Yep, I'm ready for a break. This past weekend was spent churning out something close to an A paper. While it's nowhere near done, I at least turned in a semi-decent first draft. I think.
Now I'm dealing with reading for class tonight, where I will most definitely be called on. I'm trying to read for class tomorrow, which I probably won't even make it to because of my trial. Then I need to start trial prep for a case that is crazy. Literally crazy.
I want a break! I want sleep! Thanksgiving cannot get here quickly enough. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| Listening to Christmas music might help me write this paper! I'll try it out. Keep you guys posted.
Man, you can really tell when I'm trying to avoid homework, huh? I get a little LJ crazy. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| As of right now, I still have a huge portion of my paper to do before Monday. So I go to school to pick up all of my books (because, of course, I didn't feel they were important enough to actually bring home with me...stupid). I go to my locker. My mind blanks. Completely blanks. I've had the same locker (and combo) for the last 3 years. I've used it, on average, 10 times a week. Yet - all of a sudden I can't remember my freaking LOCKER COMBO. How brain-dead am I?
After trying to figure it out for a good 15 minutes, I remember that I gave the combo to Em last year right around finals. Since my brain is still completely dead, I decide to go for the long shot and call her, hoping that she still has it. Miracle of miracles, she still has the email. Woohoo for Em! Woohoo for getting my locker combo!
My theory? I'm so against writing this darn paper that my mind deliberately blanked out any information pertaining to it. LOL
So here I am, still not writing my paper. But at least I have my books!
Thanks, Em! :) | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
