FINALS!

So I have finals. As do most of my friends. I wish I had tests like normal people who have finals. I have papers to write. One was fairly easy I suppose, a 5 page paper, I knocked it out in one night, but it's pretty bad, not my greatest piece of work. The things that are stressing me out the most are the two main ones. One is 8 pages (due Monday), again, not that long, but it's worth 25% of my grade, and the other is 13 pages(due next Friday) and is worth 50% percent of my grade! WHO DOES THAT??? And it's not like I can just crank out those pages and not really think about them, they're really really in depth subjects! You have to KNOW what the heck you're talking about, which I suppose is the point, but dang man. I guess that's what I get for taking Grad level classes. Granted I did take a work out and a guitar class to even out the stress, but wow. I'm leveled. Sigh. I'll get them done. Somehow. Even if I have to call in sick to work, I'll get them done. And I'll have the best of distractions by my side to help me through them.
Speaking of distractions, I think I spent like maybe 4 hours actually writing my paper the other night, and spent around 6 just messing around. It's not that I don't want to write the paper, I really do, I just can't focus on it. I think I have ADD, because I get distracted easily, and I can't stay on task alot. My friend Paul told me about this medication that they have him on (and he's much worse about being on task than I ever was) called Aderol or something like that. It was a miracle, he was able to focus on something for more than 20 minutes! So if it works for him, I think I'll look into maybe trying something out for me. As long as the side effects aren't worse than what I'm dealing with now, I think it'll be a good thing.
