My Strengths

I took a survey about two weeks ago called the VIA Signature Strengths Survey. It measures out your strengths and out of twenty-four it tells you your top five strengths. My top five straights are:
1) Curiosity and interest in the world
2)Honesty, authenticity, and genuineness
3) Bravery and valor
4)Humor and playfulness
5)Industry, diligence, and perseverance
Not trying to seem cocky but I definitely agree with the results. But then I started thinking, nobody has ever seen my honesty as a strength. Some people say that I'm TOO honest. The reality is that I'm the kind of person who tells you like it is. I don't care if I hurt your feelings, that's just the way I am. For example, the other day my best friend asked me if I liked her new shirt. Her shirt was horrendous, like a "WTF was she thinking" shirt. I looked at her and said, "Dawg, you look sh***y, what the hell were you thinking when you bought that sh**." But my best friend is my best friend for a reason because she laughed and said, "FU, I like it." Maybe I'm a little bit to blunt for some people's taste, but that's just the way I am.

School Is Coming To A Close

School is almost finished...FINALLY! There is only one more week left and I'm starting to feel the effects of what they call "Senioritis." I can tell I have Senioritis when these symptoms show up:
1) Failing to write homework down
2) Using up my absences
3) Failing to turn in assignments
4) Leaving assignments to the last minute
5) My mind is focused on the upcoming break

Even though I'm trying my best to keep focused, I can't wait till Christmas. Every year I know what I'm getting but this year I have no clue. I love the element of surprise and I hope I get good presents. If not, there will be hell to pay. LOL, just kidding.
