Type A

I'm back. This post probably is going to be all over the place since I've forgotten how to blog. I'm serious. I have so many things to blog about but now that I actually have time to sit in front of the computer and type, nothing seems interesting anymore. I'll give it a shot. I've actually written this post three times about three different topics and deleted it.

I've been clenching my jaw shut to the point where it hurts lately without realizing it until I finally relax my jaw and feel the pain. My sister thinks it's because I have a Type A personality.

According to Wikipedia: {I highlighted what applies to me in Type A}

Type A individuals can be described as impatient, excessively time-conscious, insecure about their status, highly competitive, hostile and aggressive, and incapable of relaxation. They are often high achieving workaholics who multi-task, drive themselves with deadlines, and are unhappy about the smallest of delays. Because of these characteristics, Type A individuals are often described as "stress junkies."

Type B individuals, in contrast, are described as patient, relaxed, and easy-going.

I don't think the jaw clenching has anything to do with it, since it developed in December. It all started when the storage room closet was cleaned out. All the baby cockroaches had no where to live and thought that my desk would be the perfect place to settle down. Since we've picked up on new followers I'm going to add that I live in India for med school and that cockroaches rule the world here. While I was studying. I'd have these tiny bugs crawling all over my books and papers. And I couldn't not study on a desk. I fall asleep on my bed. It's a reflex, I tell ya.

The whole ordeal was really nasty. The only way to get rid of them was to kill them. And I did with my yellow post it note. Everyday for about a week and a half I'd kill about 15-30 cockroaches. It was pretty disgusting. If you think I shouldn't have blogged about this because it's making you puke, I lived through it. I'm still clenching my jaw. I just realized I'm doing it as I type.

So now I do the jaw clenching most when I'm stressed out.

My sister asked me the other day why I'm so stressed out all the time.
"Because I'm type A, remember?"
"Oh yeah. Silly me, type B forgot!" *giggles*

What type of personality are you?
