Thanks again, everyone.
If you're really desperate, get a prescription for adderal. Not the wimpy time release kind. Focus on how that will make your tasks ("work") a new and fun experience. It'll turn you into superman for a while. I say don't use this unless you need to, not because it's bad but because you may find you want to go back to the old you later. It's sort of a one-time boost.
I've been wondering if I need something like Adderall. Sometimes I can focus deeply on a task, but a lot of the time I find that I get off-track and need to multitask. I really should get myself checked.
alternatively, if you don't like either extreme, a part time schedule. or the min necessary for financial aid (12 credits).
Last semester, I dropped a class and I ended up having 12 units instead of 16. That's actually why financial aid is upset with me; dropping a class isn't a problem, but it is if it makes you drop below a certain number of units depending on how many units you have. Juniors are supposed to have 15 units each semester, and I'm actually in a deficit of 2 units by not taking 18 units this semester (must average to 15 units, but financial aid said that people who try to take 18 units after dropping a class are rarely successful). It's really dumb.
