Is it just the tension? You seem like you're under a lot of pressure right now and it's getting to you.

What do you actually think about when you're supposed to be doing something?


I didn't feel this way the beginning of the semester for some odd reason. Because there was no pressure and I actually got some reading done. But as it went on, and when there was more work around, the pressure was ridiculous. I had to tell myself to "focus" all day everyday. I couldn't stop telling myself this, because if I did my mind would wonder. And it would too, automatically by habit. When I'm sitting in class trying so hard to listen to the professor, I would write down everything he said, but it didn't work. My mind would still have a plan of its own.

When I sat down to do homework, I would have to sit there and force myself into it. It would take about 10 minutes of me just sitting there staring at the paper or the computer screen before I can really get into it. And I couldn't even get into it for very long, my mind would zap out of it by itself. It's a terrible, frustrating feeling to have.
