The very first few hours of today were spent rewatching Thor and staying up to see the scores from the ACT I took this month which elicited a "meh." Consequently that meant that the early middle hours of the day were spent in dreamland.
The day did happen to grow mediocrely productive as I embarked on a regular information quest across the internet with today's topics including speed reading, the psychology behind learning, and C++ programming. Only my computer's severe lack of memory space (due to my negligence to transfer photos to my external hard drive) impeded my progress in the latter subject. There's always tomorrow to download an IDE program.
Other than that, I noticed, especially today, the growing problem I have with finishing tasks. I fleeted from article to article to even tutorials and kept getting sidetracked by a link on the page or a sudden interest that needed to be satisfied. Oh how I love to begin things but oh how hard it is to follow through. What I find interesting though is that I act completely the opposite in my school and extra curricular activities. For most of my young life I've stuck with commitments like dance classes, certain clubs, and other organizations even if I despised them. Either that, or I felt an immense guilt when walking away prematurely. Intellectually however, I can't seem to stay on the same hobby or interest for more than a week, or in the case of browsing, 15 minutes.
There has to be some way to fix this but I'd probably get distracted halfway through the cure.
Today has been slow and Tropical Storm Debby (Downer) hasn't done anything to improve my motivation, so for tonight, that's all folks.
