I think I have ADD. I afraid to get officially diagnosed though. It's like admitting defeat for me. Yes, Jeff, that's why it took me 7 months to get my shoulder looked at. I like to hope problems go away. Today when I admitted to my IAH Prof that I'm quite sure I have ADD after he confronted me about why I did so bad on my essay exam he lectured me and told me it's probably best to get it diagnosed because the university can do a lot for me while I'm still here. As he sad, "You don't want to be at work in some hazardous situation with, like, acid all over and just get bored and distracted and totally screw something up, right?" It made me realize that if I really want to turn things around this semester I should do something about it. I really just don't want to be put on meds, they seem to alter people so much. I don't want that. I want to be me. But I can't figure out how to beat it without meds without someone showing me how. I have figured it out for one thing- reading. If I have to read in a place that may distract me, wearing headphones and listening to music keeps me focused just fine. So, I've made it that far on my own. Great. That took how many years? By the time I'm 45 I might have it figured out.

Anyway...on to a completely different topic.
Why is it that when a relationship ends or maybe is just on a rocky path at the moment a girl's closest friends will trash talk her guy? I imagine most do it just to try to make their friend feel better about the situation. But why not try offering a shoulder to cry on and just listen to what your friend wants to say? What if the two end up together again or get married? Nobody forgets when a close friend says rude things about a loved one.
