Homework on a brain like mine.....

[Cordellia Amethyste Rose]

Exam tomorrow. Prof assigned 178 extra credit problems. Has taken so long to get through less than half of them. Focusing & working in 20 second spurts makes
it so hard to get things done. Been at
this for like 3 days. At this point my
head feels strange & I still have 2 hard sections to get through, but I
just can’t make myself do it. It’s not
even that they’re hard. They just
require a lot of work & my body just aches & wants to jump around. Each problem
requires multiplication of roots & fractions then subtracting, then dividing,
then more of each. I still have a ton of
notes to copy to my cheat sheet, too. I
also really MUST relax & then go over it again, but it takes my brain so
long to re-charge that I’m not sure I’ll have time. Plus I’m so worried about it that it’s going
to be hard to relax. I’m worried about
getting my notes & cheat sheet done.
I’m trying to push through, but my head feels like it’s going to
explode. The kittens will be up &
meowing soon. They’ve been asleep for a
couple of hours & will need some wrestling & snuggling soon. Then it’ll be their dinner time. Ok, must relax. Then I’ll force myself to come back to it
tonight. Maybe my brain will be clearer
& it won’t be so painful. Worst part
is when it’s an easy problem, but my brain is so fried & uncooperative
& my body is so shaky & sore that I can’t even think how to do it. Must be clear & relaxed tomorrow.

Sometimes when I do homework I daydream that my character has to do the exact same problems or worksheet. That way I can daydream while I'm working. It means I don't have to try to stay out of my world, so my brain doesn't get so tired. Sometimes I even work through a problem by discussing it with my really smart characters. The problem is that when I do my homework this way I have to avoid being near any triggers whatsoever. Otherwise the daydream changes and I find myself fighting aliens instead of doing the problems.

I personally need music now & then just to get me out of my head. I can't stop daydreaming for more than a split second. It's a lot of work, and I get exhausted before I even get anything done. I have to stop, having done almost nothing, and come back because I just can't take it anymore. It can take all day to do just a few problems.

When I was in school it took me forever to do homework! I'd want to listen to music while doing my work which of course triggered my fantasies. It took me a lot of will power to turn off the music and get back to my work. I was okay during tests though(no music=no triggered fantasies).

Update: Turns out we only had to do 30...........and he forgot to mention that part. *face palm* I did 103 & it took forever & gave me a huge headache. Bad prof!
