| no, while stressed i'm engaged so i'm not bored. however, the opposite is true. i think it's possible that some day i could die of boredom. i have to find ways to stay engaged in life all the time otherwise i start to lose the will to live. if my mind isn't occupied, it's quite dangerous for my qual... |

while i sometimes find that the people with authority don't deserve it, i don't have issues with authority in general.
i generally follow rules and have little problem doing so. i even considered going into law enforcement. |
