I am not a good test taker. I have always been thrown by questions that had too many answers that included A) one answer B) another answer C) a different answer D) a stupid answer E) none of the above and F)all of the above G) just answer A and B...
You get my point. Sometimes you do not know which answer is correct.
you know D) is wrong, but the other ones seem wrong too...but wouldn't E) none of the above, be too easy to be right? How can you be asked a question and the answer not be there in front of you?
I'm figuring out that life is this test, the one with all these options. I never want to choose none of the above. It scares me. Most of the time I don't even consider it as an answer.
The reason I am ranting on this is because I have been thinking back to when it came down to making graduate school decisions. There were flaws with each place. No answer seemed to fit 100%, I just couldn't see that the answer E) none of the above, was even an option. It was like I scanned the question too quickly and thought, well A) UM is bad, B) UW-M doesn't seem right, C) Eastman ruled itself out and D) MSM---never liked but loved the teacher....I didn't even see E) NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!!!!
The great thing about that none of the above answer is that there are other possibilities not even mentioned on the page.
I couldn't see that.
I mean, maybe that option wasn't there in my state of mind last March, but you know...I see it now. It's almost as if I took an entrance exam, failed it and am just now taking the real exam. From now on every time I am faced with some huge decision I will remember that there is always another option: None of the above, and I will dare to go in a different direction.
Oh. I am always amused when people tell me they read my blog. Thank you...thank you for reading. :)

Nina!! I saw that you were a follower of my blog, so I've been reading yours, too! Making decisions about life stinks, but it's important to remember that we have time to go back and try again many, many times. It's also possible to have choices that aren't right or wrong, it's just a choice! Thanks for reading!
