Hopefully. Ritalin takes my creativity and puts it aside. I just hate having to take it. And it keeps me awake at night, gives me anxiety, and makes me generally intollerable.

Hopefully a better alternative will be found in the coming years.

For me, Ritalin is a tool to get things done. It is not, however, a tool to do things well. So I have a choice: do it or do it well. And that’s a sucky choice to have to make.

Ah. I do not have much experience with ADD and related, nor have I ever been tested for any such thing. Although, when I took some Ritalin once I was able to focus and zipped right through writing a paper.

So far it’s only my studies that I’m unable to focus on, and I attribute that partially to my disinterest in a lot of the courses I’m required to take.

Those who have known since they were five are few and far between. I was refering to ADD and how I live with it.

I think it describes many people — or so I think until my classmates start talking about how they’ve known what they’ve wanted to do since the age of 5. Bah.

Right now my interests are all over the place. I havenâ€™t been able to focus on any one thing.

My life, summed up in one small sentence.

My major is Sociology and I’m minoring in Women’s Studies. Sociology is my love, but women’s studies helps to give me the perspective particular to women that is shamefully lacking in sociology. Four years and all I’ve been studying are dead white guys. I am so glad I chose WS as a minor, otherwise I’d be going crazy in my soc classes asking, “Where are all the women sociologists?!” “Where is the feminist analysis?!”

If I can survive undergrad, I may head into graduate studies…

I’m sort of stuck right now because I’m not sure what I’d like to do. With the BA degree I may find work in the social work field or get with an organization, but I do not really have an interest in those at this point. I could go to graduate school with the aim of being a professor or an academic for the rest of my life… or branch out and do my own research and publish. Or, none of the above.

Right now my interests are all over the place. I haven’t been able to focus on any one thing.

It’ll be over and done with soon. My last final is on the 19th, and I’m counting the days, baby! Actually, the week of the 5th is my last week of classes then we have almost a month off before we go back in January.

What are you getting your degree in?
