Emmie 0 #1 March 7, 2002 Since I have 4 six-page papers due next Tuesday, and I haven't started any of them yet I decided to dedicate my entire day to doing homework. I started at 9am, it's now 5:30, and I only have 2 paragraphs down, neither of which makes any sense at all. Instead of writing, I spent the past 7 hours reading posts on dropzone.com, checking my email, browsing skydiving websites, and harassing Roy from Rigs and Things. Could it be that I have ADD? Every time I start there seems like there's always better that I can be doing, like right now for example I have to go watch King of the Hill. I know it's sad.

SpeedRacer 1 #7 March 7, 2002 Yeah Clay's right....You probably just have regular garden variety procrastination....I'm REALLY bad that way...For example, right now I should be updating my lab notebook, but instead here I am, farting around on the internet & writing posts about boobies etc. to a bunch of degenerate, altitude-crazed, skydiving horndogs!!Speed Racer"Fill your hand, you son-of-a-bitch!"

Cornholio 0 #12 March 7, 2002 Yup, I had it too..Did the whole Ritalin and Dexadrine thing for several years.It really fucked up my drug using days though... the first time I did crank, I fell asleep. The second time, I fell asleep. It didn't start kicking in until the 3rd or fourth time. Btw- I haven't touched the shit in almost a decade...but I can definitely relate to the ADD syndrome...- Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmie 0 #16 March 7, 2002 I have never met Roy in person, but I talk to him at least once a week. He's really great to deal with, and he has tons of patience. I got my gear from him, and being an obnoxious brat I called him every week to check if he got it already. I'm gonna miss harassing him though, since he told me today that he finally shipped my rig off. Woohooooo!!!!ok, I'm really gonna log off now and write my paper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites AggieDave 6 #17 March 8, 2002 Quoteok, I'm really gonna log off now and write my paper Suuuurre you are, I say that atleast once a week and I always end up back in the forums..."Give me one ping and one ping only..."

Problem is this "freind" also has a pilot's license... that diagnosis is a disqualifier for his FAA medical. Trouble is he just pissed away $5000 last year on techincal training because he couldnt study... chronically didnt have the drive or concentration needed. life sucks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Emmie 0 #19 March 8, 2002 Oh my god you're right...Here I am again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ChromeBoy 0 #20 March 8, 2002 Ok Emmie so what did you get.

What ever I get in my head I write down right away. ( I have hundreds of ideas a minute) then I do them in order of priority. This seems like it will not work but if you are lazy like I was then the best cure is to see how good you do when you actually fiish things on time and right away. The pattern will develop and you will start to feel really good about it. Then you'll go to a boogie and get pissed drunk only to realize that no rewards measure up to lots of boobies and jumpng from da plane da plane and your back to square one.
