Call it what you want...

I'm not sure what the best term for it would be...  Driven.  Type-A.  Focused (sometimes to a fault).  I'm not good at decision making, but once I do make up my mind, it becomes my sole obession focus.  Whether it's work, college, hobbies, or any other area, once I set my mind to something, I'm going to go after it with everything I've got...and if someone tells me I can't do it, that makes me even more determined. 

In some ways, it pays off.  College is a perfect example.  I had one episode right after my first anatomy and physiology test where I wanted to quit (even though I got an A on the test).  I was overwhelmed and terrified.  But that was the only time I really thought about giving up.  I've questioned my sanity...a lot.  But I'm more determined than ever that I want this.  I can't wait to walk across that stage and get my degree.

In other ways, its really, really bad.  Like when people talk to me and I walk right by, never hearing them, because my mind is a million miles a way.  Or when I'm pulling straight A's in college, but I would die a thousand deaths from humilation if anyone saw the way my house looks during finals week.

For better or for worse, though, that's me...
