Week 3

In English last semester I took the Fascinate Profile Quiz, which was suppose to help me understand myself better. This quiz said that I am an avant-garde, which I still don't fully understand. It said that an avant-garde's mind works quickly to develop solutions and bring new ideas to the table. The profile also said that I get bored when forced to follow the same routine. This particular quiz also gave suggestions of things I might need to work on. One thing it suggested was that I need to stay a little more grounded and focus on the here and now.
This quiz did make me stop and think about who I am and what I need to work on. I took this over six months ago and think about the things it said I should work on. When I was first told I was going to have to take this quiz I was less than thrilled about it. While some of the things it said about me weren't accurate, it has still been helping me better understand my strengths and weaknesses.

Week 1

Today we had my niece's first birthday party. It is so hard to believe she is one already. It seems like just yesterday I was going to the hospital to meet her. I get the pleasure of watching her every Monday while her parents work and it is the highlight of my week. I love watching her grow up and learn new things. She is developing her own little personality and from what I can tell it is going to be a good one.
My favorite part of all kid's first birthday parties is the smash cake. It is always interesting to see if they are going to just stare at it or do what my niece did today and demolish it. It is so cute watching them stick their little hands in the cake and see how excited they get when no one tries to stop them. I heard some of the kids at the party telling their parents that it looked like fun. I kept waiting for one of them to start doing the same thing with their cake.
