well, i think i am! :) the other saturday i actually did an IQ test of sorts for a friend of a friend who is getting her master's and needed to practice on someone. it was actually kinda fun, but the sad part is that i can't find out the results since she's not licensed yet. it was kinda crazy though b/c i would second guess some of my answers or think that i was totally getting stuff wrong that i should know. (after it ended i had to look some stuff up on google to ease my conscience!) so here are some of the things i do know: the capital of italy, who painted the sistene chapel, and the president during the civil war. of course there was much more to it than that.....math questons which were kinda hard b/c of it being given verbally, some interesting puzzles, pictures and word definitions. one of the first ones that threw me was "define winter"...uh, what? sounds crazy but i really had to think for a few mins. to decide how to best define a season. (by the way, i said "the season between fall and spring") anyway, at least i got a nice gift card for a nearby coffeeshop out of the deal! :)
since everyone i know is commenting about the election on their blogs, here is what i will say: i will be extremely happy in 8 days when it is all over and we finally know who it's gonna be!!
fall is def. here in full force: i am wearing slippers, drinking hot chocolate, enjoying the crisp air and sights of pumpkins on people's porches and the colors of changing leaves. we took our fall camping excursion up to WI last sun. thru tues. and it was nothing short of amazing. the weather was perfect: cool but not too cold and the trees were gorgeous! i honestly am trying to figure out why we haven't always done a fall trip to WI in oct. - we both love camping at this time of year, it's less crowded, you don't get all hot and sweaty hiking and there's no bugs! anyway, it truly was the break that we needed from the chaos of the city and a good time for us to reflect and reconnect. i will let the pics tell the rest of the story.
