EQs, IQ's and High School

I recently took an EQ test with work (which is supposedly set up similarily to an IQ, with the same scoring method). I scored a 140, which I guess is handy because I plan on applying those skills in my future career. I got the same score when I did an IQ test and thought it might've been wrong, so I took it again. I still got the same score though. I'm told that usually, one has a higher EQ than IQ or the other way around?

I have to say, I was terribly intimidated by the IQ one. Anything that measured skills, intelligence or knowledge always scared me. When I took my ACT in Colorado, I got a 30 overall, which wasn't very impressive (for me). I did horrible in my English, but fairly okay in Math, which shocked me as I'd been placed in the wrong math class my freshman year (Math A for all you Broomfield kids who read this) and wasn't in Geometry until my Junior year. Then, I took a mediocre math (problem solving), for my first semester in high school and graduated early after that. My freshman counselor had lost all my records and asked how I liked math (Mr. Johnson, I think his name was) and I said it was okay, so he put me in Math A, with all the slower kids. So, getting a 33 in Math was a feat for me (http://www.act.org/standard/planact/math/index.html I am too lazy for links), since I'd known so little on math in the first place. But yeah, English wasn't spectacular.

Anyhow, I never took the SAT's, never needed to, but they intimidate me as well. In high school, I was the kid who never took notes, rarely did homework on time, but aced tests....I mean, I'm sure some of you remember Advanced Placement U.S. History....and how I left after the first semester. (Lame, I know)...I'm lazy, I realize this and am vaguely bothered by it. But APUSH intimidated me, I felt her eyes boring into mine when she'd see I wasn't taking notes on her every word, and it didn't keep my interest.

I've been thinking a lot lately about my early graduation. I guess it's kind of sad that I still wonder if it was the right decision. I missed out on so much, and whenever I had to work in the afternoon, I would drop by the school to visit people. I missed it a lot, and my senior yearbook has two signatures, one from Sona, and one from Shane. (who didn't go to my school, who lived in Idaho!)

Meh. I guess I feel like I never was able to say good-bye to everyone. I might need closure. I was in Broomfield for years, I went to Kohl Elementary (yeah, Chris!), went to Broomfield Heights, and then Broomfield High. A handful of people in my graduating class were in my kindergarten class. I loved my class. I could've done without the cliques, but they did keep those people away from me, so I can't complain too much.

Ah, as I just told Laura, I'm a bundle of energy right now. If I tested my W.P.M., I'm sure it'd be in the hundreds (with an equal amount of mistakes). My back is killing me, my neck has been craned towards my nightstand - the temporary resting place for my monitor until I buy a desk. My cat is fat and taking up my half and hers on the bed.

On a completely unrelated side note, the power turned off at around 9pm tonight. I took Alaberto for a walk and discovered that our whole town's power had gone out. Including street lights and traffic signals. It was interesting to see crazy people driving.

Another unrelated side note, I never, ever edit my posts. Not for grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, or what have you. I guess you could file it as me being lazy, but I also see no need to edit what I say, misspelled words and all. Ti amo!

Ciao.
