2:08 pm	My Personality Neuroticism 86 Extraversion 49 Openness to Experience 85 Agreeableness 98 Conscientiousness 62 You rarely get angry and it takes a lot to make you angry, however you experience panic, confusion, and helplessness when under pressure or stress. You tend not to talk much and prefer to let others control the activities of groups. Familiar routines are good, but sometimes you like to spice up your life with a bit of adventure or activity. You are tenderhearted and compassionate, feeling the pain of others vicariously and are easily moved to pity, however you dislike confrontations and are perfectly willing to compromise or to deny your own needs in order to get along with others. You strive hard to achieve excellence. Your drive to be recognized as successful keeps you on track toward your lofty goals. You often have a strong sense of direction in life, but may sometimes be too single-minded and obsessed with your work. Take a Personality Test now or view the full Personality Report. ugg boots

2:23 pm	Yay So went to my induction day, after finally finding where it was, and met two girls that said they were also really nervous about the whole "meet and greet" thing and one even got the train home with me because she lives in Largs (poor her, I remember my journeys to Ayr college). After being bombarded with leaflets telling me where I can get drinks for a pound, (Great influence?) I finally got to where I was meant to be and many insightful speeches later (I'm liking this uni; they actually tell me things I need to know.) we had an hour lunch break and then went back to trying to find what building/floor/room we were meant to go to next =) There was a bit of a mix up when the room we were told to go to had lists of names of people doing nursing and things not related to Psychology, but it turned out to be a full "school" lecture about psychology, vision science and biomedical science students. Turns out that because they have a vision science department (The only one in Scotland I might add) can give you free eye tests and even money off glasses, which is such a coincidence (for once in a good way) since my glasses were recently sat on... =)They're fine to read with, but a little wonky and don't look right. :P So I guess Caledonian wasn't as bad as I thought it would be compared to Glasgow Uni (which was my first choice) Got a few more days inductions and I don't understand how I'm meant to get to go to all the different meetings for things though when my induction lasts from 11.30 to like 3pm, but I'm sure once I get my timetable I'll be able to find out about all the different goings on and work them around it. So it wasn't bad and I'm still really excited about it all, and I'm going to have to convince peoples to come with me to some of these events!   x Current Mood: bouncy

7:48 pm	Hmm... Well first of all my brother is meant to come back from his disco at the YMCA at 9 and it's 11pm... Obviously my mum's worried since he's only just turned 14, so she phones his mobile phone and after some incoherent mumbling his friend must have taken the phone: "Hi Liam's really drunk, I don't think he can get home by himself" Not sure what the rest of the conversation was but, as you can imagine, my mum's pretty shocked. So she goes to see how he is/bring him home down Paisley town (This being a friday night so not good company hanging around) and when she gets there she sees an ambulance and 2 boys running away from it (let's assume these are probably his "friends" that supplied him with the drink...) and with the shock of seeing the ambulance my mum is in tears. When she gets there they tell her he's ok but that she either takes him home or he'll be taken to hospital, so my mum tries to take him home, but since he can barely walk... she has to try and get a taxi (She can't drive). Since they can see how bad he is, despite my mum offering to pay for their whole night if he's sick, none will take him... So she tries to take him home and along come the police. They must have been called by whoever called the ambulance as they ask my mum if she needs a lift. Sitting at the back of a police car with your drunken son must be one of the biggest embarrassing things =( But of course she was just worried about whether my silly brother was ok I'm thinking. They took both my mum and my brother's details and then my mum got home, washed him up and put him to bed. Having barely had the time to think about what had just happened (It later turned out that his 18 year old "friend" had bought the drink as I wondered where he got the money from. They apparently broke into a shut down club and he can't remember any more after that...) the phone rings... It's my great-gran that lives just a couple of minutes away. She's broken her hip, is in pain and cannot move... So my mum goes down to help her and has to call my uncle to come too since she can't get her up on her own. She has to go in an ambulance to hospital and she's kept in for a few hours and they say she needs a half-hip replacement... They did the operation and she's stable now but she'll be in there for a few days (maybe even weeks) Since this isn't the first time she's fallen (Luckily this time it was near a phone) my mum's determined she's getting an alarm button and her home changed to suit her better. She's had a lot of blackouts and she said she didn't trip which is possible since last time it was out in the street and she just blacked out and lay unconcious until someone phoned the ambulance, but despite many tests they don't know why this is happening. I really feel bad for my mum since she's the one having to always look after my gran and her house/money/cleaning etc. She does so much and it annoys me that her actual son (my mum is her grandchild) lives just around the corner and also has a car, and that her other 2 sons also have cars and yet can barely take the time to visit let alone help her out. I can understand to an extent that my gran (her daughter) cannot do this since she can't drive, but to leave it all to my mum... I even heard my uncle saying what he thought he would do with his "inheritance!" Why does my mum have such bad luck? I wish she could find someone that would look after her so that for once she could let go a little and not have to be the only one taking responsibility. And maybe even then I'd have someone I could proudly call dad, and jumping quite forward, I wouldn't have to worry about who was going to "give me away" if I got married... At least I have Uni to look forward to tomorrow. /End sob story =) Current Mood: blah
