beaver

sorry its been so long since i've updated... once staff training started, time seemed to disappear!! its been fun though. lots of intro stuff to the rules and the basics of worldview stuff... always good to review. last night we took a personality test and i am a beaver. this means i'm organized and i think that there is a right way to do everything and i want to do it that way. beavers also desire to solve everything... hence the math major :) they do not like sudden change and need reassurance. so comment on my blogs to reassure me. my strengths are high standards, order, and respect while my weaknesses are unrealistic expectations of self and others. it also said i was too perfect... but whatever. i thought it was pretty accurate. there are not a lot of beavers here, but there are a lot of otters. those are the silly ones that love to be the center of attention and make everyone laugh. this is fun because that means i don't have to be much of an otter at all.

anyway, if that made any sense then congratulations because i'm still thinking about it! we have also been reading some C.S. Lewis essays about getting along with others. one called The Problem with X and the other called The Sermon and the Lunch. look them up and read them if you're interested or just really bored cause its summer :)

we just finished lunch and are about to do some MORE cleanup work... we made all the beds yesterday and it was such a blessing to have so many people helping! not that they had a choice... its just that before there were only four of us and now there are over 30.

we are going to the park tonight for BBQ dinner and "play" haha this should be fun. maybe its supposed to be like sports time or something. i still don't know what work crew i'm going to be on, but i think they take into account the personality test so i'm not too worried.

i can't believe students get here on sunday!! crazy how fast the summer flies...

Beaver (Melancholy/Compliance)

Strengths– Analytical, self-disciplined, industrious, organized, aesthetic, sacrificing

Weaknesses– Moody, self-centered, touchy, negative, unsociable, critical, revengeful

...wonder how the "revengeful" quality will come in out there??


Mom and I took this one time in a Sunday School class....both Lions....messed everything up....

I'm not at all surprised that you're a beaver... and camps/etc. usually attract the otters because they are high people interaction and high energy/change kind of jobs, but it's key to have lots of beavers/ golden retrievers around to balance them out (that's you!).

I'm a golden retriever, believe it or not.

I love you and I'm excited to hear how the rest of your summer goes. Sounds like it's off to a good start!

Ok so Dad says we were or are lions but I do not remeber those great characteristics,,,:) do you think that fits me or do I need a retest? I wanted to go to Narnia Prince Caspien with you but Allison got me to go tonight. I bet ya'll go soon out there. If not, we will go together and you can explain it to me:):):)

haha revengeful... maybe pranks of some sort?

i think mom might be more off a golden retriever... but her lion side comes out once in a while :)
