I think the hardest part for me is, I mean I am a little better at it now in that I try
to write everything down and I try to maintain
my schedule in at least three places at all times. My friends all make for of me because
I have my planner, my paper planner that I keep in my backpack. I have
my cel phone calendar that has everything that I am doing on it. And I have
a dry erase calendar on my board. And for me it is really good if what I am doing
ends up in at least one of those places because every time, every single time someone
is asking, oh do you want to do something on Saturday? I am like hold on and
I get out all three different things just to make sure I am not doing anything else.
I think that is the hardest part for me and a lot of he people I know who are also dyslexic
is that we just, we just forget. And it is so frustrating because, I mean I know that
I have to do these things and I know that they are there and I know that they exist
but I just, in any particular moment I can not wrap my brain around the fact that
those things still exist. And with classes, that was really hard for me too. is that you
have five papers due because they are all in different classes and of course it is the
middle week of the semester and they all need a midterm paper to be due. And it is
so hard to keep focus because first of all it
takes me at least twice as long if not three times as long to write any paper then
anybody else in the class. It is just difficult because even when you are aware of all
of those things and that you know they need to be done, usually the same day... you
just get overwhelmed. There are a lot of times I will just sit in my room and stare at
my computer or stare at whatever homework I am doing and I just, I É can not
physically make myself do it because I feel so entirely helpless just cause there is so
much to do.
