I Have Adhd
Sadly telling a professor I couldn't think strait and every noise drove me mad isn't a good reason to not have a paper done or have accomplished anything.

Your teacher is correct. ADHD is controllable if trying really hard. You are managing it or you wouldn't be as far in education as you are. You will get past it, keep going! Find ways around what distracts you.

At the moment there is not way around the distraction. I need to figure it out by tomorrow. The stupid noise. I've gotten as far as I have, because I can figure things out. I don't memorize much of anything. I can't remember much of anything. I've just sort of BSed my way through things and people bought it. It worked well until recently. Now I'm just failing classes and the ones I pass it seems like I remember almost nothing from them. People say that's fine becuase the stuff is hard, but I read simple stuff and it doesn't make sense either. Like the words don't connect to form sentences or thoughts or words or comprehension if at the moment I have to figure anything out at all.
I might try listening to music now... I won't hear the noise at least. And using a different computer so I don't have to figure out how to install the stupid program I need to even start the paper I'm writing, like last time I worked on it, my computer broke and four hours was wasted. Probably more, because I had calm. Leastn now I'm kinda tired.

@kimtin33: What are you studying to be? What is your goal?
kimtin33 · 26-30, F
@Gumba1000: Neuroscience major, psychology and computer science minors. My end goal at the moment is I want to research some kind of mental disorder. I want to be a lab tech though, because I don't think I could make it through grad school.

@kimtin33: Your choices seem incompatible to me. But I am sure you consulted someone whom told you to take allof them. In my country you would have just had to study IT to be the lab tech.
To reasearch you need to be able to concentrate and remember. If you can't do thos things you can't research. You can however process someone elses research as a lab tech.

@Gumba1000: I just took a lot of them, because I was interested in all of them. Psychology helps the neuroscience one and there is a lot of overlap. Computer science is just fun.
Honestly if I couldn't do research, I have no idea what I'd do. Lab techs do research too, they just work under others. When I've done research in labs here, I've worked on a project on my own. The head of the lab offered help to me along the way and it was something they were interested in researching and I was assigned.
