Ooh Shiny – What Was I Doing Again?

Nic Here.

I just finished my Undergraduate degree in English, and have jumped headlong into a Graduate program in Elementary Education at the same college.

I have severe ADD and mild dyslexia, which makes school interesting.

“Define Interesting? Oh God, Oh God, we’re all going to die” -Malcolm Reynolds, Serenity. That quote pretty much sums me up.

I’ve had ADD as long as I can remember, and have developed all sorts of coping mechanisms and methods of dealing. I consider myself a reasonably functional human being. Most of the time.

This blog is a way for me to keep track of my progress, remember that stupid stuff I do can be funny later, and to connect with others having the same issues I have. I also plan to use it as a repository for articles, news, and other media about learning disabilities. I won’t post just about my ADD here, though, because I’d get bored of that pretty damned quickly. So look forward to anecdotes about my students during student teaching, rants about life in general, and shiny things that catch my eye. Cause, hey, I’m ADD.

Also. I have a sense of humor. You may want to, as well.
