come on and tell us about it johnny, whats your secret to success?
ritalin.
no. really.
i have some of jamie's quick release ritalin and seeing i was pulling an all nighter and knowing how effective students find it for studying (paradoxical drug and all) i figured what the hell, cant do much harm if i just take the dose that jamie would take.
and it works. it doesnt hype you up. well it didnt hype me up.
the reason its called a paradoxical drug is cos its a stimulant (like cocaine/heroin etc. highly addictive if you're stupid) and if you're inactive, it brings you up, but if you're hyperactive it brings you down (not very stimulating there... mind fuck hehe)
anyway, turns out i coulda taken up to 60mg a day in 2-3 doses. i took 40mg. individual doses.
so all it did was keep me alert. like i had just been refreshed and i was awake and attentive. not any where near hypo.
all in all, not a bad experience. and i have the feeling it will come in handy when it comes to cramming for my 40% test and my 2 exams.
oh, however i'm getting tired. if it sit still i get drowsy. and i did something funny.
i emailed sean about it.... so you get hte copy paste version....:
ok, we were playing with rats and stuff, and after almost falling asleep
while my tutor was talking about it...i actually drooped my head.. that
was when i was trying to txt you and all i said was 'asleep' --the original text was supposed to be "im so tired im startig to fall asleep in class".. but somehow all i sent was 'asleep'
anyway, i was playing with the rat, and i was fine. i think cos i was
doing something that was stimulating my brain, she wiggled a little bit
til she decided to be a cuddly rat.
we did this little experiment thingy with them in a maze, right? then
for our little 2% in-class test thingy, we had 2 answer 2 questions.
the first one was ok cos i'd just put the rat down & washed my hands and
stuff. but the 2nd question asked about whether the maze was a good
example of cognitive functioning. i started writing my answer, and
halfway through it i got sleepy and i wrote (no shit...) "this is a test
of cognitive functioning in that it shows how long a person can function
without...." and then i realise what i was writing and scribbled it
out!!! i was halfway doing the letter S in sleep when i clicked.
im alert as when im doing something that is stimulating my brain or
something, but not when im doing something quiet.
yes, thats right, i was about to write my answer on the maze being an example of cognitive functioning as humans being able to function without sleep.
i been doing things like that ALL day. pushing doors ur supposed to pull.
tripping over my tongue
saying fuckin retarded things (such as being in the body shop with sean and pointing to the tester bottle of something and the actual retail bottle of something and saying i'd totally pick the other one cos it had heaps more in it than the other one.... then realised thats because it was a tester.....)
sean told me i have to go home and he'll tuck me in bed..... but i cant.not til i get more done. but he's gonna come get me at like half 5/6ish
