Attention span of a ..

May 14, 2011 J. 2 Comments

First and foremost, you have to understand that I tried. Just wanted to put it out there. But whenever I pick up my lecture note, something happens.. coupled with my short attention span, well that's just a deadly mix.

Anyway, I had the wakiest conversation with Mama.


                           Mama (Die-hard Arsenal fan): 
"So, Tsoho (her younger brother) sent me a message yesterday that went: The best place to hide something from an Arsenal fan is to put it in a trophy".


                  Me: 
 "Hmmm.."

                 Mama:  
 ".. and then he sent another now wanting to know why I didn't call to congratulate him on Man U's victory. Can you imagine him?"

Maybe it was the delivery or the fact that I was just tired but I laughed long and hard after that.

And speaking of short attention spans.. *sigh*
How does that go anyway? There's the short term memory of a gold fish, then short attention span of a *what?* Me, probably.

I think I've got Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, without the hyperactivity.. That should explain it. Lets see.. Symptoms.
  • Be easily distracted, miss details, forget things, and frequently switch from one activity to another (CHECK!)
  • Have difficulty maintaining focus on one task (CHECK!)
  • Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless doing something enjoyable (CHECK!)

Okay, keep in mind that the list above is from Wikipedia. So its authenticity is in question. Yes. Okay. Bye!
