1. I have been bored a time or two listening to a person. Usually it is either when they are talking about something I have no idea about, or if it's something I've heard many times before.

2. It's completely situational whether I will drift of to space or not. If I become very bored I will end up day dreaming.

3.a. I have never drifted off in this class but I have in another class of mine.
b. I had to mentally wake myself up because I was tired. I knew if my brain was alive I would've been more awake physically.

4. There was a time that I had a friend whom I had dated in the past. We were both ok with just being friends. One day he calls me and says he is getting married. I was stunned because he didn't even talk about having a grilfriend. He later on told me that he was happy now and didn't want to talk to me anymore because it made his wife upset. I was upset at first. But later on I realized I didn't really need him as a friend in my life anymore. If he was going to shut me out like that I wasn't going to be upset about it. I was simply going to keep going in my life as if nothing happened. I was very confused as to what exactly happened. But there wasn't a curiosity strong enough to ever probe into his life again.

5. My aunt and I are best friends. We can talk to each other about anything and know we're going to be listened to. She is a very good listener. Maybe this is because she offers you questions that test what you just said, or how you really feel about what you are talking about. She has a very calming sense about her that makes you feel comfortable talking to her.

6. I don't know my classmates. At all. I think you should have a required assignment of some sort of volunteering. Everyone would meet up. Or even just a "evening of chatting." We all meet, have some snacks, do introductions, and then ask therapeutic, conversational, stress relieving questions. I've noticed a lot of people are stressed out. They just don't know how to relieve it. They're like a balloon, completely full of air, if they have to take anymore they might explode. It's good to be a saggy balloon once in awhile. Well, at least a soft balloon. Besides taht when you are around a balloon that has too much air in it you have to be really careful so that you don't make it explode. Not very fun if you ask me.

7. Thoughts: I'm having a hard time figuring out which field of work I want to go into. I'm a visionary hands on type of person. I need to actually throw myself in there to see if I like it more than the rest. I'd love to volunteer at places just to get a feel for their work. But I have no clue where to start.
