    Can't focus on academic work, can't add more than 150 words to my current WIP at a time, Can't Focus On Any Thing.

    I'm frustrated

    I know the feeling, I have a horrible habit of procrastinating. Sorry to hear that you're struggling with getting work done :(

    Thanks @8Bit Bob . Hopefully this mental block will break soon, if not - I'm in some serious trouble. 12+ academic papers in about a 2 week time frame, plus finals, a presentation, and a mock gubernatorial campaign.

    My brain is filling my head with disturbing, unwanted thoughts and it’s making me feel shitty.

    Maybe that's the problem. Maybe all the stress/work is making it hard to focus...? (I honestly have no idea, just throwing it out there).

    I feel a song coming on....




    Then fill it with positive things or as I do, watch Puppy and Kitten videos till the thoughts go away. :) . Or play GTA V and get all that aggression out.

    That's what I am thinking. Desperately trying to explore different outlets to try to focus and grind to get my country-mile-long to-do list done.

    If it helps, I'm there too. I can't focus on anything and I'm too tired to do anything except rest my head on my pillow. I have A-Levels in just over a month, that'll be fun.

    Hey wait, I've got a new complaint:

    Trying to cover Nirvana on guitar. I'm a beginner. I've got blisters on all four of my fingers and I can't play it anymore. Nirvana will have to wait until they heal.

    Wasting calories on spam has made me unhappy, with all the delicious food I have to eat I waste my calorie count on disgusting spam!

    You should have prefaced that with, "Hey, wait. I got a new complaint."

    You only need two to play Nirvana, but soon enough the blisters will become impenetrable calluses.

    Speaking of Nirvana, someone here is wearing their Nirvana smiley shirt today...
    Me:):dead: (Actually not a big deal. I wear it like once a week).
    But hey, I wish you luck and hope that your fingers heal soon:)

    I slept through supper and the common room's got no food left. I'm starving and I have a horrible headache and I'm supposed to be getting supplies and I forgot so I don't want to admit that by asking for a slice of bread from another common room. Besides, I've put all the cutlery and plates in the dishwasher now.

    I am pretty stoked. I have just explained for the four thousand seven hundred and sixty sixth time that I would like peoples PHYSIOLOGICAL response to an excerpt.

    To the tune of: "Hey! That was awesome!"

    click-click...(Boom)

    Dude, thank you. It's actually way easier with two fingers and doesn't hurt as much. I can't believe I didn't think to just bar the chords. I put my fingers on each individual fret. Anyway, this belongs in the Happiness Thread but just wanted to let you know.
