Freewriting from the I Believe List

I believe that i will live to be 100 . I want to live a fulfilling life and see and do as much as I can. I  think that I will have some wonderful stories to tell my grandchildren. Maybe I can get them to walk the Appalachian trail with me maybe when I am 90. I think that turning 100 is a wonderful accomplishment. I hope I still have  all my marbles then. I dont mind if I end up living in a nursing home so long as it is a good one. I wonder what my caretakers will be like and will they want to listen to my stories. I hope that at 100 I can still see and hear OK and get along without too much help. The idea of totally losing my independence scares me. Maybe  my family will take my home on weekends and holidays. This freewriting is harder than it seems. My thoughts just get all jumbled up. guess I need to work on a bucket list. What else do I want to do before I turn 100. I would like to go to alaska, and maybe the north pole. Hey maybe I can meet santa clause. I would like to visit every continent. I would like to climb mount everest. now that's funny because i really dont do heights or cold very well. Maybe by the time i get around to climbing the mountain there will be better and warmer clothes. I think the top of mt everest is about as close as you can get to touching the sky wiith your feet still on the ground,  I am running out of things to say.oh boy. what a day. hope i get more thoughts in my brain pretty soon. Maybe i should work on trying to write a song. thats really funny since i dont sing very well, cant carry atune in a bucket. Back to the bucket list. I would like to see a hummingbird nest. i used to collect bird nests as a kid and bird feathers. Even got to put them on display at the librarry. guess that makes me a real nerd. Evnen had my first job at the library whille every one else was working fast fgood.     379 words

Jung Typology comparison

Well, I just finished the Jung typology test. Not the most fun thing I have ever done, but I do feel that it reflected my personality rather accurately. It stated that I am a ISFJ type. I think that the introverted portion of that is accurate. I do prefer to be alone and have difficulty in social situations. In a way, online classes do work well for me, as I don't have to have face to face with others. On the flip side of that, I can't learn to interact better with others if I only communicate via computer. Luckily, my job does require me to interact with others and has helped me to overcome a bit of that introvertedness. I do think that a lot of writers are introverted people, preferring to communicate via the written word instead of personal interaction. It is definitely easier to be annonymous as writer than in other careers. I found it interesting that one of the career options for me on Jung was to be a nurse and that is what I do and what I am going back to school for. Perhaps this test can help me as a writer. While I may be an introvert, the characters I create in writing can be as extroverted as I want them to be. As a writer, I can be anyone. One thing I do know about myself is that I can change and grow as a person/student/writer/etc if I just put forth the effort to work toward what I want to improve about myself. It is all up to me.
