Gimme chocolate.

:O That sounds fun, though!

Not when it's the evening before, and your mom is a broke bitch with almost all her supplies in storage in another state

Crap, I forgot about that part.

Well the project sounds like it would be fun in not stressful circumstances.

So in my grocery delivery I ordered a pound of pork sausage and a pound of ground beef to make biscuits and gravy.

I got a pound of ground pork and a pound of beef stew meat. -.-

I have now made homemade sausage for the first time in my life. So... yay? Good thing Josh got me the meat grinder attachment for my kitchen aid for Christmas. I definitely did not have the drive or energy to do it tonight though. So much for a quick and easy dinner.

Do you guys have any tips on how to stay focused while studying? I am taking a cert test on Friday and I just can't focus or retain information. I do know a lot on the subject (networking) but I can read a chapter of a book, and not retain any of it later. I've tried cramming practice tests and do well on them, I just want to get some last minute info.

Not sure if this will work for you, but whenever I really need to focus on something I like to change my location. If I have a big deadline coming up I'll got to the library or even just a different room in my house. Someplace quiet without too many distractions, but different from where I usually work. I think being in a different location wakes my brain up just enough that I don't get complacent and let my mind wander. (Disclaimer - just my personal experience, absolutely no hard evidence to back up if this is a good strategy!)

Good luck!

That's a great idea. I'm always half asleep where I'm currently at (my fault, of course) so I usually can't focus. I suppose being alert of people I don't know all around me will help.

What I have my students do is alwyas have a pen in hand while studying. Write whatever comes to mind as you read the text. Make free associations to the content ("This reminds me of blah."). Don't beat yourself up if you lose focus, but make a note of it. Acknowledge it.
