Concentration Problem

I got up 1 & ½ hours later than I should have today, took my time in the bathroom, read the paper like it was the last time I will ever read one, ate a banana, studied Probability, took a break, had lunch, continued with the “short-break” and ended up watching Saving Private Ryan, which is awesome btw, and Harold & Kumar Go To WhiteCastle, which is decently funny, after which I logged on to Youtube, Facebook and MSN to watch, seek attention and chat, respectively; I then played PES 4, which is an awesomely addictive game, and followed that up with an hour of sleep, to wake up and realize that it’s dinner time, so I ate a scrumptious home-cooked low-fat dinner and then got very frustrated at my inability to study, so instead of studying I ended up doing something half-constructive – writing our farewell speech; which I was somewhat successful in, but which may be a little long for 'their' liking, and note: I was still MSN-ing and Facebook-ing during this process, after all multi-tasking is the best way to lead a life, followed closely by actually studying, instead of writing a one-sentence blog post at midnight, and now all that I have left to figure out is – should I sleep, or study all night?

P.S. Apart from the title, this post has no connection with the earlier post(s).

Technically your one sentence is a question...
Sleep. It'll be hilarious when you wake up the next morning and realise what you've done.

Happens to everyone, self included. Just relax and work that "anish magic" that you only know how to control that makes you invincible if you choose 2 be. I really mean it.

Anyways, put things in perspective and think about how your actions will have consequence, and ask yourself if staying up all night is worth it.

The problem with you is that you dont give a damn about these exams. I mean, anyways, how do they matter for anything...college admissions dont depend on these grades..so whats the point in studying anyway. Enjoy yourself, have a good time, and get 80-something in the boards. I'm sure thats not what you want. You just need to care about this, and you'll find yourself able to concentrate. Youre not a ten year old kid who needs to be told to study- come on..get rid of the distractions. Tell yourself you need to study..youre the only person who can help yourself. Be a little more positive..if youre just going to keep regretting having stck to science/the indian system, youre not going to get anywhere. And stop thinking youre any less smarter than anyone else..youre not!

Sleep. :P
Guess you're old enough to spread your studies over the time you require... plus it's okay to take breaks now and then and not study a lot the whole day... relax and do it at your own pace... wot's the point of working at breakneck speed only to collapse before the finals?

There are two solutions lad: one involves snorting, the other is something yer too young for. ;)

Just wanted to say that yer post is a replica of someone else's I read earlier. Can't recall who though.

If you cant concentrate, don't even try to study.....it's a waste of time trying to study....because your not learning anything...and your not having fun either...

when I need to study...I divide my time into units which alternate between studying a chapter and having a smoke...and I always end up doing great!!

Juhi said...

yeah, your whole post was one sentence....
I wouldn't know what to do, but i guess other people did. What did you ultimately do anyway??

Try to relax before going to bed, also if you find that your mattress is to hard I would suggest getting a new one. I sleep like a baby now, try googleing for what you need I find it has the answer to everything.
