ADD & NYR
Oh lord. I've been trying to study since 10am Saturday and I just can't do it. I did spend a good long time yesterday though looking up the symptoms of Adult ADD and deciding I have it and that it's therefore not my fault that I spent all that time wasting time instead of just studying the tax aspects of Bankruptcy.
I don't know what's wrong with me. Can't most people sit in an empty room and read 100 pages of the most boring fine print ever committed to paper without getting distracted? No? Well then WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO???? It's just not fair. And I know I brought this on myself by going back to school, but it's not like I had a choice - I'm trying to get a JOB here, it's not like I'm doing this for the pure joy of education. Or because of my apparent fondness for Overwhelming Indebtedness.
Dammit. This was New Year's Resolution #5 - do my reading at some point BEFORE the weekend before finals.
In other belated NYR news, #4 was to get renter's insurance, which has not gotten done, but I at least got a quote.
#3 was to stop spending money, which is going great except for the $10k I just dropped on school and the $4k on a stupid medical expense - both of which make it seem stupid to deprive myself of a $3 latte. I don't even really buy $3 lattes. I mostly buy a cup of tea and two pieces of toast from the office cafeteria, for a grand total of $1.20. What's so wrong with that???
#2 was to go to the gym, which turned out to be easy, because I go in the middle of the day to escape from work, and I would go ALL DAY if I could rather than work - excellent strategy, I must say. My knees and elbows have been hurting though, so I'm clearly doing something wrong. Although it's less painful than the persistant soul ache I get from being in the office.
#1 is my perennial favorite - floss. I was doing moderately well with that until I ran out of floss last week. I have no plans to buy more floss, so that's the end of that until some drops out of the sky. Oh well. I have an understanding with my hygenist anyway - she asks if I floss, I say no, she looks shocked, and life goes on.

I made no resolutions this year, but if I had your first three would've been in my top 5, for sure. At least my dentist understood why I don't floss when she tried to floss my teeth at my last appointment.
