He Called It Jeff Fulton Disease

I had a teacher in high school - Jeff Fulton - who called it Jeff Fulton Disease. You've been there... You read through a page and look up and have absolutely no idea what you just read. And no matter how many times you go back and re-read it, you still have no clue... And never because you don't understand, but because your mind just can't focus. Maybe you have it right now. Maybe you have no clue why you're even trying to read this blog post. I don't know. I don't know why you're reading it... Who'd have thought my life was interesting enough that people would actually want to read about it?!

I have it. Right now. And I have an entire chapter of my Comp book to read and a posting due at midnight. I also have one measly little math problem left that I cannot figure out how to solve. I was really frustrated with math last night and was feeling stupid, but I must have been too tired, because this evening, it went just fine. Except this one stupid problem. I don't have to do this particular problem - I've already missed it enough on the homework that it's locked me out and I won't be able to fix it, but the fact that I can't figure out how to do it is really frustrating me. What if it's on the test?!

And my mind is everywhere but my reading. The part of the chapter I'm supposed to focus on is called "The Importance of Writing Badly." How can it not be interesting!? I read it, read it, and read it again, but I have no idea what I've read, what it's talking about or how I'm supposed to respond to the discussion questions. And my discussion question responses have to be posted on the boards by midnight. Garr.... So what do I do? Blog! Haha. I don't know - maybe getting all this out of my head will help me focus more. And maybe it won't. But it's worth a shot, right?
