So today I get to blog about whatever I want but the problem is I can't think of anything to blog because I have no direction and I'm easily distracted. With that information I've decided to blog about how easily distracted I am and how it doesn't do much good for me.
Have you ever caught yourself, while reading a book, thinking about something totaly different and unrelated because a word in that book reminded you of something? By the time a normaly fuctioning human being has read ten pages I'm lucky to have read two. I am constantly going back and rereading things just so I can understand what is going on. Every once in a while I will try and read alot at one time, because more than likely my project is due the next day, and I'll find myself laying in bed sleeping with a book laying on my chest. I don't remember falling asleep while reading it just happens.
Reading is not the only thing that I have trouble with. If I get in a conversation with someone who is not especially interesting I find myself daydreaming and not hearing a word that comes out of there mouth. Soon enough there will be a silence, because apparently they asked me a quesion, but I'll just nod and maybe give a little smile but if they keep looking at me funy a "hmmm I dunno" is sure to come out of my mouth. On rare occasions that gets me in a bit of bind because the question will be something like "How old are you now?" or "Hows school going?" then I look like a dummy for jus sayin "I dunno." So in regards to that if I ever do that to you, first off, I'm sorry but you should probably get some new material.

#1 senior year
Three goals I have for my Senior are....
1) I want to keep my grades up
2) I want to get accepted in to the University of Colorado
3) I want to go either base jumping or sky diving
This weekend I am going to sit on the couch and watch Michigan then I might go upstairs and play xbox or take a nap then I might just sit around. Sunday I'll watch the Lions until I get too mad then I'll eat and possibly do my homework. Sounds like a blast huh?
