Occupational Therapy
Maybe it has to do with the fact that I was hyperactive child. (Is that what they used to call ADD?) But today I stopped for a burrito and decided to take a look at my paper on privacy and electronic communications. I’ve been editing this paper that I finished last semester, and updating some of the law, cleaning it up, and adding some stuff on MMORPGs. It’s been slow, what with all the classes and clinic and such.
But at the burrito joint, I cruised through 10 pages and wrote about a page extra in about half an hour. There’s something about me where it’s hard for me to just sit down and work. I need to be doing something else.
When I was little, I used to do laps around my living room without touching the carpet and just daydream, probably for hours. My best friend in elementary school was a mile or so away, and it wasn’t an issue for me to just run through the woods and brush, over two creeks (we called them “cricks”), and down a hill–it was like no time passed at all.
Now, I can’t talk on the phone without pacing. I do my best reading and writing while I’m eating or drinking at a bar. I do pretty good thinking when I’m walking or driving–great times where I don’t have any thing or chance to write anything down. So much genius wasted.
On another note, my puppy licked the tip of my tongue, and I think I have a cold-sore there now. Is that possible?
