I don't know Pwnd...
Let's see the full list (in bold is what is right). :

A. Six or more of the following symptoms of inattention have been present for at least 6 months to a point that is disruptive and inappropriate for developmental level:

1. Often does not give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, work, or other activities.
2. Often has trouble keeping attention on tasks or play activities.
3. Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly.
4. Often does not follow instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace (not due to oppositional behavior or failure to understand instructions).
5. Often has trouble organizing activities.
6. Often avoids, dislikes, or doesn't want to do things that take a lot of mental effort for a long period of time (such as schoolwork or homework).
7. Often loses things needed for tasks and activities (e.g. toys, school assignments, pencils, books, or tools).
8. Is often easily distracted.
9. Often forgetful in daily activities.

B. Six or more of the following symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity have been present for at least 6 months to an extent that is disruptive and inappropriate for developmental level:

* Hyperactivity:

1. Often fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat.
2. Often gets up from seat when remaining in seat is expected.
3. Often runs about or climbs when and where it is not appropriate (adolescents or adults may feel very restless).
4. Often has trouble playing or enjoying leisure activities quietly.
5. Is often "on the go" or often acts as if "driven by a motor".
6. Often talks excessively.

* Impulsiveness:

1. Often blurts out answers before questions have been finished.
2. Often has trouble waiting one's turn.
3. Often interrupts or intrudes on others (e.g., butts into conversations or games).


See that's not a lot of things. Maybe I "suffered" from more things when I was a child, but I've learned to control myself ( ie :B1, B2, B4) and I've became less clumsy (A4, A5, A7).




The evilness of precalculus makes it intriguing xD. So basically, what do you learn in it ?

[Avarre]

What do you people learn in (pre)calculus? I want to compare it to what we cover in local Chinese school here.

[I pwnd U]

Sleep time.

I think you have more of those symptoms and you just don't want to admit it.

GF's bday today. Going out to dinner tonight. Yay for spending lots of money. >.>

Woop. 4 day weekend. ^^; But got projects to doo..
And work.. Poop! xD

[RedStar]

Stop saying that T_T xD

I may have some minor psychological "problems" (perfectionism (don't really have the negative effects) and a little of Dermatillomania (only when I'm really hungry)), but I don't have ADHD.

I pay much attention to small details, I don't have problems focusing on something, I listen closely to everything so that I don't fail a task, I put the things that are of use to me in a certain place so I don't lose them and I know everything that I have done and that I have to do in the day.

I prefer to stand up but it doesn't really bother me to be seated, I don't run around, I wait for the question to be finished so that I don't give a weird answer and I don't interrupt people (because I hate to be interrupted).


Have fun Pwnd ^^

Lucky you Miss, I only have my week-end are only of one day now .

We all do, so don't worry about it. All you do is make yourself crazy if you obsess about things like that.

[Etta]

*Point at all of you.

It's a mistake to get too deep into all that kind of stuff. You guys, you're a hell of a young guy, hell of young guys. Can't be juggling blood and fire all the time!

As you get older, life will get harder and harder. Christ, I need a drink. Is the pub open yet?

This. And I can't juggle.

Kinda sounds like you've already had a few Etta...

Regardless, it's Friday, so the standard "wait til after lunch" rule (for me anyway) doesn't apply.

Drinks all around. Except for Fishy, and maybe Redstar...minors and all.

[Etta]

Lol, nah I'm on antibiotic for my chest infection til next wednesday. So I can't drink till then, which is suck. Then again I was totally wasted last weekend, completely destroyed, basically.

Nice Avy btw, Kat. When is that game gonna comes out anyway? Could do with something to take my mind off stuff.

Ok wow, all that describes me perfectly XD

Precalc is mostly ... uh.. functions, trigenometry, and a whole load of fail.

[Kattar]

That sucks, Etta. Last I checked, it comes out Oct. 24 in the US. Apparently that's a pretty firm date too. Finally.

[Etta]

Oct 24, ah that's suck. I'm only here in new york for the next 2 weeks, visiting my ma. Guess I'll buy it when i'm back in london.

[I pwnd U]

/sigh I'm a minor for a little under another 6 months. My gf just turned legal, drinking wise, today. Oh well. We don't drink though so it's not a big thing really.

Won't be getting it. Gonna get Gears 2. So soon to Gears 2 release that I don't want to drop money on 2 games.

One class today then hanging out before dinner.

[Kattar]

I normally do the same thing, pwnd. Wait a few months and get it when it gets cheaper. But I'm going to buy this one new. Why not, since I never do anyway.

[Etta]

You're real boy scout, pwnd. Live a good healthy life, good for you.

[I pwnd U]

oO My parents instilled not drinking or doing drugs to me since I was old enough to know what they were. Atleast not till I was 21 but even then drinking just doesn't sound like fun to me. Crazy, I know, but true.

I can't wait for Gears 2, until then finishing off CoD4 on veteran.

Drinking can be nice. Overdrinking on the other hand...

It's essentially introduction to integrals and review of vectors. It's painfully easy, and I'm assuming the Chinese do mathematics better.

Pwnd, drinking is fine. Do it the way I learned to do it. Acquire a Nalgene bottle, fill it half with orange juice, and half with vodka. Throw it down in less than 5 minutes, and you'll be good.

[Jumping Is Uselss]

Most people have problems with the algebra thats in precalc

[A Leprechaun]

Drinking can be fun but I don't really enjoy getting very, very wasted like some of my freinds do. I'm 16 so still a couple of years until I am "legal".
