Today I wrote an article for iflirtnow.com I thought it was pretty funny. You should check it out. It's the one titled "Nair Quarterly Profit Doubles as More Terrorists Caught."

    Tonight is crazy. I have 2.5 hours to completely change an English paper because I have to pick my dad up from the airport at 11:00. After that I need to go to bed to be well rested for my math midterm tomorrow. Why o why did I enroll in a poetry class?

February 21st, 2003:

    Well, this is my first journal entry. It's going to be intense. This has been one of the most difficult weeks of my life. To start off, my entire family is in Cabo San Lucas without me. I couldn't go because of school. So I have had the house to myself the entire week. It's kinda nice, but also very lonely.

    I have a midterm coming up in my business math class. I am scared to death because if I don't do well, my grade in math will be unrecoverable and because of that, I will have to live at home for another quarter. More importantly, if I fail math, I will get kicked out of my fraternity. I don't know if I'd be able to handle that, because I love the guys. It's like I have 30 new best friends. In addition to my math midterm, I have a english paper due the same day as the test. The paper is a significant part of my grade and if I don't score highly, well... you get the idea. The paper I've written sucks and I know it. My paper is on a poem, and I don't understand the poem. I have 3 days to figure it out.

    What makes this week so hard is my personality. I swear I am the most ADD person I have ever met. I have a serious focus problem. I realize this, and so I try and budget more time accordingly. Take, for instance, this Wednesday. I had a math quiz the next day and was short for time. I was completely stressed out and felt I had little time to prepare. To gain more time, I withdrew from a competition at a sorority. I thought that the event would take up too much of my time, and I figured I wouldn't be able to focus when I got home from the event. It was scheduled to go from 7:00 to 8:30, and I figured that by the time I left home, drove to the UW, and drove back, the total time commitment would be 6:30-9:30. So I called the sorority and withdrew. Here's what really bugs me. I cancelled, but was so unable to focus during the time I was trying to study at home that night that I didn't even start my homework till 9:30! I felt like a complete idiot. What a waste. I feel like I have thousands of these stories, and they depress me.

    As a result of this , I am going back on ADD medication. I have been off it for a year and figured I didn't need it anymore. I guess I'll see what happens. I hope I feel better soon.
