The ADD/ADHD Thread (cont'd from Peeves)

And here I was just feeling shitty and tired and unfocused because I only want to work on one project at first job. And second job, I just DGAF anymore.

I have the LSAT scheduled for Saturday.
Side note: I wish you all of the luck and blessings and shit for this. Kick ass and take names.

@Derp I did terrible on my first round of the LSAT, took it again after a year of actually preparing and stuff, and did well enough to get a big fat scholarship to GU (go bulldogs or whatever). You can always go again if it turns out too stressful for optimized performance.

Thanks! I'm a little nervous, tbh. The Flex format just has the three sections, no experimental, no additional, so the scoring is insanely tight. I do fine on reading comprehension and logical reasoning but the analytical logic games stuff is still kicking my ass. On the practice tests I can manage about a 163 or so but that's with the extra section and the experimentals. I have no idea what this one is gonna look like when it's all said and done.

Yeah, I honestly expect that I'm gonna do bad. Just because of the Flex format, really. Which is why I spent the extra cash for Score Preview and I can just throw that first one away if needed and take a mulligan in like, November.
But thanks, both of you!

Something was written in a way that made me think about something else! The worst is when it's like, two pages back and I'm left wondering how I managed to turn the page.
It's incredible that my own brain can zone itself out.
This. Exactly. Like, your eyes are moving over words but your brain is somewhere else and you get a ways in and you're like 'wait what is even happening...'

@wretched yeah my wallet is missing with my vaccine card in it and i'm dying inside about that more than all of the cash and credit cards and my driver's license

I managed to lose my son's social security card. Again. I haven't used it for anything, and I kept it with mine in my wallet. I still don't know where it could even possibly have gone.

If your state is like mine then they have you electronically registered too.
Racism isn't Tinkerbell. It doesn't need you to believe in it for it to exist.

@derp I also have a photograph of the vaccine card that I took right after my first shot because I posted it to the book of faces.
I'd be kind of shocked if Washington doesn't have some kind of electronic thing going on, but also ugh.

@wretched The difference lies more in the listener's perception than in the speaker's intent, and that's just one of those things I've had to learn to make peace with: sometimes, no matter how carefully I choose my words and my presentation of them, the nature of communication will mean I just can't control the meaning the other person hears.
To be clear, I am not saying the other person is wrong when they hear something I don't. That is also something I've had to make peace with about the nature of communication.

For me, an explanation details why a person did something as an excuse details why a person should not suffer the full brunt of the consequences of their actions.
