Too much information / the feeling of logic.

I posted last summer about popcorn thoughts, which allow a lot of things to be going on at the same time, and I have to say that they're a fairly normal state for me in a class. But today I got a logic headache, from information-related brainfreeze ( Read more... )

*hugs* I'm not sure I understand fully, but I know about the fuzzy blob in the brain part-for very different reasons. But it’s still all to do with sensory overload which this sounds similar to. So maybe a lie down in a dark quiet room might help when that happens.

I ended up poking Minecraft for a while, that got rid of it. Now I'm off to the gym. :)

Group work is still the bane of my existence. I mean, it's fine if the whole group has clearly defined things to do, I get through it, but I forever find myself waiting for people and most of the time I just give up, do it on my own, and then coach them. Then there's the ever-present pitfall of working with friends: somebody always relies on somebody else to carry them through the project ( ... )
