Minor Adventures

Maybe I should take it easy. Maybe I should concentrate on one thing at a time. Friends, family, and professors have all confessed that I do too much. Maybe that is because I always look like a vampire- pale faced, with sunken eyes that look like I need more sleep and a hungry look in my eyes to boot. But I usually feel like a zombie.

Ever since I started at Cal Poly Pomona, I have never said no. I have taken jobs that required much more than I was paid to do, worked more than I should have (one month consisted of 36 hour work weeks), and took on projects where I had no idea what to do.

But that is just how I work. I am constantly thinking of the next step, multi-tasking (right now, I’ll admit, I am watching a lecture too), and thinking of new ideas and mini-projects. My brain does not function like a normal one, the “gears” are constantly going- thinking, thinking, thinking. Winnie the Pooh would envy me.

Get me talking, my attention is everywhere. I have conversational ADD. In my head, everything makes sense. I cannot slow down.

This quarter, I am taking on a full load- 18 units worth of classes, two internships, and a four days a week job. I am all go this quarter. So if I look like the walking or living dead one day, you will know why. Treat me to a cup of coffee, and I may be a little less crazy.
