easily distracted

In a hurry to meet M, I grabbed my phone, slid my feet into my flip-flops and yanked the door shut. The loud thud echoed down the hall as I kept on walking. I was just about to pull open the door to the stairs when I hastily spun around and realized the mistake- I’d left my keys. In the room. Which was now locked. J was at the barn with her horse and our R.A’s; board indicated she was “Off campus!” I was locked out of my room. I decided to wait until J got back and went to go study Spanish with M. Luckily, while we were in their room, tech support had to hook up their cable and kindly let me back into my room.

This is the second (and hopefully last) time that I’ve been locked out of my room, but this kind of this happens to me all the time. I am an extremely distractible person. I have the attention span of a fruit fly, but I’ve gotten a lot better at being able to focus and get my work done. However, this week has been horrible. I haven’t slacked so much since my freshmen year at THS. Last week everyone was so stressed about the workload and I didn’t think it was that bad and was glad that I was doing well in my classes. This week, I underestimated the amount of effort I needed to put into my classes. Before I came to R.U, everyone warned me about the constant distractions I’d have to face in college. I wish I had listened. On Tuesday, T came over and we watched the ‘Little Couple’ on TLC instead of starting Spanish. On Wednesday, I went rock climbing with C, A and W. And yesterday I went to CVS with E and M and watched four weddings while debating on whether or not to pain my nails.

From now on, I’m making to different to-do lists- one for homework and one for everything else. And it’ll all be fine- as long as I remember to look at the lists.
