They (actually I don't know who "they" is) say that you only live once and I want to live my life to the fullest. I want to be passionate about my career and enjoy the challenges that it brings. Basic science research gives me this challenge but instead of enjoying it, I feel a war-torn and battle-weary. I do know that when I mentor undergrads or even explain my work to elementary school children, I get a buzz of excitement when I see their eyes light up with interest. I know that I need to work more with the community. So I'm thinking Science Policy with a focus on diplomacy. But there's still part of me that loves science and the possiblity of conducting research that will one day lead to a cure for cancer or HIV. So here I am, back on the fence. Only time and networking will tell.
| You Have a Choleric Temperament |
 You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things. Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life. You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation. You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon. Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall. You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others. At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and ev  en proud of your faults.Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion. A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior. |
Now, could this happy-go-lucky gal celebrating the new year be all of these bad things (said in a passive-aggresive, guilt inspiring tone made to make you feel sorry for her)? Don't know if I could be proud of my faults--seems kind of pompous to me. And I am a bit more flexible, but they did say "at your worst" and I usually try to present and feel my best (see the first paragraph). I can see the narcissist trait with my SL's. I just can't help lookin' at them! But maybe I'm just giving myself some much needed self love--there's nothing wrong with that(;
Peace!

Choleric?? Me too, join the gang, we can take the world by storm.

Your academic story just moves me. I was a college assistant professor in Radio, TV, Film and loved it until the passion left. I quit teaching to explore other options in the field of arts. Now I am writing, playing my guitar, and composing songs. I hope you are moved to where you can have much joy and peace and continue to be of service.
Loving your locks, too!
Blessings!
