ADD

so, i have decided that i wasn't meant to be a college student, and i definitely wasn't made to study, or i have just developed a major case of ADD...or maybe i have always been like this...i remember my older brother and sister calling me add when i was little, maybe there was some truth to it.

To give an example of this, i will give you a real life scenario:

Today, I sit down to read a chapter in my book for class...I begin reading, and in the first paragraph there is some analogy made about tetris...i think about tetris for a second, and how long it has been since i have played tetris, and i continue reading...i get about two more sentences and during this time my mind becomes OBSESSED with tetris. I can not longer read. I have to play tetris NOW...so I play tetris until I loose...i only make it to level 4...then i remember that i have a report to write, so i write it. Then I make a list of ALL the things i have to do this weekend...i can't find the list...then i print out some articles i need to read for class...i read the first paragraph of one, highlight one point, then decide the article sucks and i need to find something else to read...but before i can do that i need to check ALL the facebook status updates from the last hour...then i find a different article to read and print it off...as i am stapling it i remember that i haven't blogged for awhile...so now i blog, surrounded by stacks of papers and books to read, but probably i will wait until tomorrow to think about reading them...for now, i play tetris, because i must beat ALL the levels...



ADD, no?

psyc

this quote was at the top of my first syllabus yesterday:

"what you resist persists"-C.G. Jung

at first i didn't like it, but now it's growing on me, and i am realizing how absolutely true it is...like right now i am resisting my homework, and blogging instead, yet my homework persists...i'm pretty sure that's what this Jung character meant in this quote....damn you psychology of women! damn you!

school...again

winter quarter classes started for me today, and it started off just like every other quarter for the past year....hung over, and completely disorganized....i had really great intentions of going to buy a notebook and maybe even a hi-lighter....but instead i slept in, hung out with alex, and watched women's basketball, all of which were far better than notebook/school supply shopping...maybe i'll do that later this week....all of my books are ordered and now i wait.

It is official that i will have no life this quarter...school is really going to cut into my drinking time...NOT...i will not let that happen...but i do have like 230948320 group projects...i REALLY love group projects.

I bought a season pass to ski bowl so i will force myself to learn to snowboard this year...after day one, i'm pretty sure i have whip lash, and a chunk of my tail bone is still on the mountain...luckily i think those grow back...next time i'm wearing a pillow on my ass, and maybe those sweet wrist guards i used to wear when i roller bladed...it's gonna be epic...oh..and one of these:



it's like a neck brace, but more comfy, and i can nap on the way up the lift, plus if i duct tape the front of it i am sure it will serve the same purpose as a real neck brace...

and i want one of these too, but i want mine to be purple, with a glowing white main, and of course a unihorn....



actually, i'm gonna figure out a way to put one of these on my road bike, then i'm going to sign up for every bike race possible, and probably use it to patrol around campus at work...
