research paper due tomorrow. research is done and all that, I just can't focus on writing more than one paragraph at a time of the final paper. (It's only ~12 pages, so it shouldn't be that hard.)
Part of it is that I give everything I have during the school day teaching, and it is very hard for me to regroup and refocus at night. 12/9/2009 7:11:34 PM |

Have a pomegranate!
But seriously, have a cup of tea/coffee, scented candles (if that's your thing), mood lighting, GET OFF TWW, go splash your face with cold water, pushups, etc.
Good luck! 12/9/2009 7:16:54 PM |

Thank the Lord Almighty I am not in college anymore!
I do, however, wish all the time that I had done a PhD.
But, I am not smart enough to do it in my BS/MS major.
I would love to do a PhD in nutrition, exercise physiology, or kinesiology, but that would mean going back and doing another Master's (with an extra year to cover basic courses in bio/chem).
And that's not feasible.
Maybe when I hit 50 my urge would reach a point of no return, forcing me to become a student again for several years. 12/10/2009 12:42:03 PM |

yeah, and what's worse is that since I suddenly have all of this extra time, i'm not going to let myself relax even though the paper is done... going to make revisions and whatnot. 12/11/2009 9:04:47 AM |

This thread illustrates why I don't believe that people (that don't legitimately need it) should get or should be able to legitimately use adderall or other ADD meds. Provides a distinct advantage than is only obtained by a controlled substance. We frown on pro athletes juicing up with 'roids and other chemicals but stay mostly silent on this bullshit.
