> i finished my undergrad a year ago. i remember days when i couldn't get out of my jammies, i was so lazy. couldn't stop playing online, i was so lazy. but in the end i was able to see the big picture of graduation and walking away with a degree (or two) and becoming a damned intelligent chemist, and those goals motivated me to jump into work i wouldn't normally be interested in or would rather do more fun things. not to say there weren't times when it killed me to get the work done- like for an unrelated class (sociology for a chem major, for example), where i did the bare minimum and attended the bare minimum sessions, but i went, all for that big picture.

> do you see the big picture? and if you do see it,, do you see the path to get there? are you distracted on the way? I wonder about ADD myself. adult ADD is not uncommon these days, and you might want to think about it. mayb eyou just have a mild form, even. but enough that it's making it hard for you to concentrate.

> one last thing: when i was in grad school i was put on abilify, which made it SO hard fo rme to concentrate. i would sit on the couch or in bed wiht my laptop and do nothing for hours on end when i had so much i had to do. i halfassed assignments that had to be handed in, and i barely did anything of less importance. at the time i blamed the drugs. but the pdoc in the hospital said that while that can happen, he personally blamed grad school since i so obviously didn't want to be there any more, but took so long to finally admit it. it was my body's reaction to my mind's subconscious decision making.
