ADHD and You (and Me!)

On the 28.01.2024 I finished the problemset for cs50 Week 1. Did the completion of the problems, as well as the new gained knowledge convince me to continue the lecture?

Yes!

Did I immediately continue on my educational journey through the cs50 course?

I tried, but instead I did fuck all.

For two whole months.

All that thanks to ya boi suffering from ADHD

While others get to be lazy and have fun in the process, out of their own free will,no less, us ADHD folk get what I like to call "involuntary procrastination"

also known as executive dysfunction.

Basically we somtimes get posessed by some demon that keeps us from starting a task, no matter how much we actually want to do it.

Like the fool that I am, I thought that could simply beat that demon with help of RITALIN. But it was not enough.

why?

The thing is; I tried to do the learning on the very same computer device that I do the playing, the very same computer that resides in my bedroom, where I do most of my relaxing.

Most of the neurotypicals reading this will not get how thats an issue

But my fellow friends afflicted with ADHD, you probably understand why trying to learn programming in such an enviroment is a fools errand.

In such an enviroment the distraction demon thrives.

But I have come to an ingenious solution to this problem!

I just need to go and learn in a place that isn´t my room!

And whats the best place for learning? The Library.

And the solution actually somwhat worked.

yay me

Systems Operations Report

Central Processor: overloaded, running slow, requires reboot ROM: retrieval mechanism is at low functionality Fuel Tanks: full Coolant System: low, require addition of H2O Graphic Processor: subnormal performance, operational Auditory Processor: overactive, flooding data fields Emotional Processor: nonfunctional, high power draw Joints & Muscles: slight misalignment, otherwise systems normal

Task Queue: Chemistry problemset 2/4 Chemistry rereading 2/5 English reading 2/5 Political Science readings (extensive) 2/5 Math problemset 2/5

Conclusion: complete reboot required, task queue does not allow sufficient time to reboot, Law 2 overrides Law 3, continue work as is

im unstoppable now that ive learned a little bit of Mathematica bc i was always naturally lazy, so now that i have knowledge to go with my distaste for busywork, when i get a problemset that’s being artificially padded with unnecessarily complex algebra, i simply let the computer do it. checkmate, engineering professors

If you are a mentally ill physics student with a lab report to finish and a problemset to start get off tumblr for the love of all things holy

[tauruswiftie]

being in stem is like: 

me (11:59 pm): submits problemset 

professor (12:01 am): posts new problemset 

someone on piazza (12:15 am): is already asking about question 3b

someone on piazza (12:32 am): hey guys i think i’ve discovered how einstein was wrong! 

someone on piazza (1:02 am): does anyone want to make a groupme to discuss topology? (this isn’t covered in the course just out of interest haha pm me)

professor (1:15 am) : btw we have a quiz in 6 days <3

differential equations problemset due in 3 hours... homework website servers down... professor unreachable because in this time of crisis the university made its staff not allowed to email students and only allowed to contact them thru a broken web applet that nobody (including the professor) knows how to use... I want to fucking die

Problem setting

Processo teorico e pratico che serve a trasformare un disagio in un problema, in una questione ben definita. Precede il problem solving, che trasforma il problema ben definito in un progetto, da gestire secondo le tecniche del project management.

Il problem setting risponde alla domanda: che cosa fare? Il problem solving risponde alla domanda: come fare?

Problemset 0: Scratch

Another thing we did during that week was learn how to use scratch!

And we were tasked with making a program with it.

Being an aspiring game dev, I, of course, tried to make a game, got too ambitious, ended up giving up halfway through because I was inexperienced and ended up making a barely working prototype.

At first I tried to make a game where you are a robat that collects space trash that needs to be shot down a trash shute. The twist was that you neede to make the trash smaller by shooting at it before being able to collect it.

what I instead got, was a barely working asteroid destroyer game that took me two weeks to make

here is the download link if you wanna take a look at it

咖啡没有心情，有心情的只是喝咖啡的人Coffee is not in the mood, the mood is just a coffee person. Peter Pan在咖啡館裏，總是情绪在掌握時間，喝掉一杯咖啡的時間，可以是十分鐘，也可以是一個晚上 In the coffee shop, always in the mood to master time, drink a cup of coffee time, can be ten minutes, can also be an afternoon Peter pen感謝朋友帶我到咖啡高手的咖啡館#咖啡會讓人提神 #也能讓人失眠#台灣的咖啡很棒 #國性鄉 #魚池鄉 #咖啡評鑑 #向山遊客咖啡評鑑 #WeiFengExhibit #Activities and #celebrations #Activity #Celebration #and #Exhibition #DesignTheory #DesignThinking #ProblemSetting #ProblemSolving #MeetingDesign #Kaohsiung #Unique2gether 義正20170805 （在 台灣高雄）

watching my econ homework groupmates fail the exam because they spend the entirety of every single class texting/sleeping and then coast off my hard work on the GROUP homework problemsets which i do completely by myself and hand in with their names on it

[everystepatatime]

I’m not hungry. I had a ton of tortellini and cookies (~4 BUT I used up about 30 on people so that’s good).

I’m tempted to order a pizza.

I’m not hungry.

But I’m tired. I’ve been slogging all day and haven’t been as productive as I hoped waiting and waiting for this test grade to come out. It did! I did well! But now I’m so tired and there’s so many things to do and I just don’t know how I’m going to get them done and I’m waiting for my dad to call and he hasn’t. I told him any time in the next two hours but I didn’t imagine crashing so thuroughly.

I really wanted to finish my physics problemset. I did 3/4 questions but the first one is a doozy and my brain isn’t working.

I didn’t do as much chem as I wanted. That sucked.

I misjudged buying groceries. Honestly, I blame the pita. Why did they get rid of my good, cheap, large circumference/thin volume pita????? All I want is a vehicle for mozzarella and tomato sauce???? I splurged on two things: blueberries that taste awful and are out of season ;-; and the tortellini which I naively thought would last at least two days.

It did not.

And I also couldn’t get my brand bread. It’s dumb. It’s petty. I’m tired. But I wanted MY wholewheat bread. Logically “honey wheat” is probably fine; it looks the same and is only 10 cals more a slice.

But I wanted MY bread.

I’m down to two eggs (didn’t get more bc I was walking home) and everything is a ramble because I’m tired and I didn’t get half the work done I needed to. It makes me very anxious. And tired. Did I mention I was tired yet? Does anyone read these things? 

If I really, really push I might ditch writing tonight and prep my lab. More likely I’ll open the textbook and start screeching. But maybe that’ll wake me up!

Weekend checklist for myself: 

-Finish microecon problemset (Thursday ideally)

-Gather research for essay, maybe work on introduction

-Die

[antlering]

i know in most grad programs you’re expected to get a 4.0, but here in this household i just yelled and closed my whole browser by accident because i got an 85% on an econometrics problemset, the 1st time i’ve gotten above a C in this class this whole damn semester

[transhumanisticpanspermia]

hey its four hours after my birthday ended i got woken up too early by an asshole on the street with a loudspeaker, then i finally fell back asleep and slept through a class, then i went through the next one starving, and then i was forced to stand up my partner, who took time out of her day to see me on my birthday, by a poorly scheduled phone call that the other person just wouldnt end, and then i spent too much time on a problemset that i couldnt finish because i was too tired to understand the last chapter, and then i stayed up too late for the fucking 40th day in a row in what im realizing is probably a form of self harm

im loving life
