The last couple days have been.. well, "fun" isn't quite the word to use... I've mostly been mentally preparing to return to school.. Most significantly, I've pretty much fine tuned my dosage of Methylphenidate (yeah, I'm the latest inductee to the ADD club..) That should help *immensely*, since everyone knows that single greatest issue I have is that I'm never able to stay on one subject.. The problem is that this is also one of my few assets, and I question how this'll impact the other facets of my life. Mixed blessings all around. Here's to boring conversations... *clink*
One of my other major concerns is that of wasted time in my daily life. How much of this is ADD related, I dunno. Regardless, a large percentage of my excessive internet time is spent for crap purposes... since I'm now something like a junior in college (overworked, underpaid), I have even less time than before. Soo... since I can't self-regulate time wastage on the net, I'm bringing along my Mesozoic-Era boatanchor of a laptop to school. Yep, I'll let technology regulate me. As a plus, I'll have more deskspace to do.. well, whatever.
All my best-laid plans, though, are ravaged by.. well, reality. Being a junior also means that I'm starting to do more serious analysis, which requires a powerful computer.. I think I'll bring my desktop in reserve for those purposes.. I guess we'll be testing my self-control in that regard.
Oh, what exciting (sleep deprived) times we have coming...
And news to make my shooting partners happy.. Next week I'm sending my AR-15 upper receiver to Kurt's Kustom Firearms for a barrel weight reduction service.. almost $100 and a two months later, it'll come back to me as a turned, flluted lightweight wonder (I hope). I've high expectations, since this guy's got a godlike reputation on AR15.com.
Comments (writebacks, actually) should be working now, in a crappy sort of way.. give it a shot, if only for giggles..
