unable to focus!

I'm having such a hard time getting work done. I have 2 papers due tomorrow, one which is half done and the other I haven't even started yet. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do for it, I've tried asking the professor but he hasn't gotten back to me and I don't know anyone else in the class. Even when I go to class, I can't focus. I just zone out, even if I've got my notes out or whatever I just can't pay attention. I don't know what it is. These aren't even terribly long classes, they're like 50 minutes and I'm used to having hour and a half long classes in high school.

I just want to take a nap right now... like this is all so overwhelming. and what makes it worse is that my parents told me if I don't keep my scholarship I'm going to have to go to community college next year because they won't be able to afford to send me to Temple. I think to keep my scholarship I have to keep like a 3.0 or 3.5 or something... I don't know if I'll even be able to make that, even if I try extra hard for the rest of the semester... Like even with all this going on, I still cant focus... I know that I have to do well in all my classes and pay attention but somehow that just makes it harder.

 

What are the papers on?

 

the one is for english, it's pretty straight forward and I know I can bang it out sometime today. the second is for Law, and I dont understand it AT ALL. I have no idea what the fuck i'm supposed to write, I've read all the material for the paper and I just don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do with it. We have to read some case and prove it wrong or something, I'm supposed to answer the question "Are classifications based on sexual orientation suspect?". I have absolutely no idea what the fuck that means.

 

I think it would mean profiling someone because of gender, but Im not sure.

 

Hey...I know how hard college can be. Ive bc the ultimate bullshitter to get through it.

Is the case about homosexuality?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspect_classification
see if that Wiki helps you any.

good luck!

 

but what are the classifications? is that the lawsuit? I fucking hate legal shit so much.

 

I agree with Yellowcab.

Good luck with the papers.

 

Im pretty sure its sexual orientation not gender...just saying.
I googled your question your supposed to answer and thats the Wiki that pulled up. I figure it would at least explain the vocabulary.

 

i read that article, i think it made me even more confused haha

 

Ah yeah, you're definitely right haha.

 

Adderall

 

^^^^ that was going to be my next bit of advice.

 

if i knew where to find adderall i would be all on that.. i dont want to have to take that whenever i need to get work done though... i just dont want to get into doing that. i know that once i start doing that to focus i'll never be able to focus without it... hell, i cant focus now anyway.

 

Absolutely no idea? I think you're fucked then, that seems pretty easy to be honest. You just don't sound motivated(again, right?), so maybe college isn't for you.

 

quit smokin weed and get your head right

had to myself, smokin weed makes you slow, for sure. i just smoke a little on weekends now, opposed to every day.

 

Ahh, fixed.

 

there is a level of maturity and respect that should be taken with any substance. for the most part marijuana is harmless, but it definitely has its negative effects.

"amotivational syndrome" is one of those negatives, to deny it is to show your lack of respect for the plant you so preciously guard.

for real, quit smokin weed for a while and straighten your head

 

You missed my point. Making sweeping generalizations shows your lack of respect period.

And I would agree with your advice to her. But I would also say quitting weed won't automatically get her "head straight".

 

haha i hardly ever smoke weed anymore. i smoke like maybe every other weekend at most.

maybe college isnt for me.... i dont know. i think i'd rather get a job and live in the city than go to community college next year. i have absolutely no idea what the fuck i would do if i didnt go to college though... im just kinda here cause like, everyone goes to college after high school... i dont know. fuck.

 

well if you can't focus without adderall anyways, it won't matter if you "get into it"
it shouldn't be hard to get out of, who likes to focus anyways?
