So Monday, my doctor prescribed Adderall to me for my difficulties in focusing and organization. It’s been several years I’ve had these issues (ever since I got out of graduate school, really), and my childhood was filled with organizational catastrophes. College and graduate school were alright, but I was drinking a helluva lot of soda with plenty of caffeine back then.

Anyway, yesterday was my first day on the Adderall. It went…pretty much as you see above. I felt very focused and very alert all day yesterday (and today as well), and got a heck of a lot accomplished. Not only that, I felt more positive and patient, able to better-deal with all the ridiculousness that comes with teaching a bunch of kids with learning disabilities.

I hope it continues, honestly, though the drop off in the evening as the medication wears off is downright odd. Guess we’ll see what happens.
