Next year maybe you should resolve to be more honest.

Edit: Unless you went to college and I missed the mention.

Then I guess you're in the green.

4. Yes, but I gained it back

Turns out your greatest flaw is hubris.

get a real job
BS in computer science.
do well in any and all things I end up doing


Don't have a real job, but I gave up looking to focus on school.

Don't have my BS in CS and will not be getting one, as I'd need to start back from the bottom and throw out all my previous education. I will be getting a BS, though, extending my programming degree with a business focus. Also, after this semester, I'll be able to take all my classes online, allowing me to do them at my own pace and get back to looking for a real job.

I must say I've done pretty well in the things I've ended up doing. I now have over 1000 edits to Final Fantasy Wiki and they've been quite constructive and helpful, including standardizing all the FF1 spells, reverting a ton of vandalism, standardizing text formatting in all the summon pages, and a lot of spelling and grammar fixes. I'm passing all my classes despite not having a single computer course. I've managed to find my way around an unfamiliar city using my own skills, and even my mistakes and getting lost have helped me find things I needed later.

Most importantly, I've learned to drive highway! That's been a thorn in my side for years. Not the actual driving part, but the getting on and off part. I'm now quite comfortable with it.

Well. I kinda did mine. I do stand up for myself when I have more pressing matters at hand. However I still do let people walk all over me if it's justifible to do so. I still let my bosses do it because I'm to polite to argue with them. So let's call it 60-40
