Lyons+Memo+2


 * Talent**
 * I tend to come up with fairly creative project ideas (at least I think they are creative).
 * I think I'm pretty good at drawing connections that are not clearly evident.
 * I think my strength is not in how smart I am, but in how hard I am willing to work.
 * Can get an amazing amount of work done in a very short period of time (if necessary).
 * I tend to know something about everything (sometimes I think this is detrimental and would rather know a lot about 1 or 2 things).
 * I am a pretty good cook and an excellent baker (Anna agrees).


 * Habits**
 * I work very well under pressure, but I know it is very unhealthy for my emotional/mental well being. I think this has created a neurosis perhaps.
 * I multitask. Whether or not this is a problem remains to be seen.
 * I take notes in class and then never look at them again.
 * I think I may be an anthropologist/archaeologist at heart and that this tends to infiltrate my work sometimes, even though I don't really know the professional guidelines to either of those disciplines.
 * I eat too many sweets and will probably get diabetes.
 * Even though I have an opinion, I may not speak up.


 * Neuroses**
 * I am OCD about my hand writing – each letter must be the same size, the same ink/lead thickness, straight and in line. I cannot stand words scribbled out. I only use mechanical pencils, and I prefer no. 5 or no. 7. As a result I type out everything. However, I hate having to look up notes in my computer – it is a dilemma.
 * I am somewhat fidgety, in order for my brain to remain active, I need to do something with my hands. Usually I take notes. However, I usually get wrapped up in taking notes that I don't think I entirely process what is being said to me. I think it is actually best when I can knit during class because it is brainless but keeps my hands busy. Unfortunately it also looks like I am not paying attention.
 * I find it difficult to work in a space that is not neat and organized. e.g. I cannot begin working until my desk is cleaned up and organized.
 * I feel really guilty whenever I'm not doing work. Relaxation is difficult at best.
