Todd: I thought we would talk a little bit about personality traits 1. So, I'm gonna give you a quiz.
Rebecca: Oh, God, I'll probably fail.
Todd: OK, the first one is, do you procrastinate 2? Are you a procrastinator 3?
Rebecca: Yes, for certain things and also for study.
Todd: Oh, really.
Rebecca: Yeah.
Todd: 'Cause you're a student?
Rebecca: Yes. Yes. So. When I have study to do, it just more ahhhhh, there's other things that I could be doing.
Todd: Right, so if you have a paper or something, you wait 'till the night before?
Rebecca: Yeah. It's always last minute. I've heard that if you were a last minute person in high school, you will always be a last minute person throughout your life, so it doesn't leave much hope for me.
Todd: You're set for life.
Rebecca: Yep.
Todd: Next is, are you somebody who worries a lot?
Rebecca: Sometimes. Yes. Probably when I need to plan things. Yeah. Then I'll worry about if everything is OK, but other times it's just... I'll just go with the flow.
Todd: Go with the flow. Do you worry about things like money or do you worry about things like like the future or stuff 4 like that? Or are you pretty much easy going and...?
Rebecca: I sort of do think about the future a bit and worry a little bit of you know, what's gonna happen, but other than that, no, I just see what happens. Money-wise, not really worry about it too much. I can't budget, so I don't worry about money.
Todd: OK, that last one is, what about details? Are you somebody who's really picky about detail?
Rebecca: Yes.
Todd: Yes?
Rebecca: Yes. I'm with paperwork. When something's written, or advertising 5 things like that. At work, yeah, I was always very picky about the grammar or making sure that everything was in same font and lined up squarely so, yeah, but other than that, no.
Todd: Well, then, just lastly then, are you good at planning? Do you like to plan things?
Rebecca: I do. Yeah, I've planned a holiday for my family over Christmas and New Years and that worked out really well, so yeah, I can plan things. Sometimes I plan like the future a bit too much, but yeah. Apart from that...
Todd: That's interesting. So in your real life, you're very organized and you plan, but in your student life, you procrastinate.
Rebecca: Yeah. Yeah. Completely two different lives I think.
