I'm an engineering student (electrical). I'm just slightly a "nerd" and a "geek"--but in a good sort of way. Like, I fix a lot of things for friends, and I have a lot friends. ; ) But I enjoy other stuff too.
I am tall and otherwise average build. People tell me I have a great sense of humor and they like my wit (puns are "cheap humor"). A few girls have told me I am good-looking, but I don't think I am. I think I'm average looking. Some girls in bars have called me "handsome." But that's their job to make customers feel good.
Anyway, I am 21. I like all kinds of elecrical gadetry and computers. I would like to work for NASA someday. Space and the unknown fascinate me.
This is really weird, but I would prefer to listen to classical music than just about any other kind of music. I have a part-time job where I sometimes work on sound systems and I have to listen to rock in order to test the systems, but that's the only time I listen, except for some of the classic rock stuff that my dad has mentioned.
The thing I like most is helping people solve problems--gadget problems as well as personal problems. I have a quite a few friends (both male and female) who just like to hang out and work through their relationship problems, school problems, and career choice issues. I have thought about being a psychologist or counselor, but it doesn't seem to pay enough. : (
I ramble a lot too. ;)

Help! My school work is snowballing and I really don't have to mood to do my work. I'm just so lazy and looking at the snowballing hmwork, I feel worse. And to make things worse, my hmwrk is so difficult to understand. So when I try to understand a subject, it'll take me at least three hours. So I find it very hard to plan my timetable.
And also, in school, I have long breaks and I hate it. Because I don't really feel like stdying during these breaks. I just wanna slack and day dream during breaks.
I know everyone keeps saying just plan your study timetable well but I seriously don't think I'm ever going to finish studying everything before my exams. I'm like sleeping late almost every night trying to catch up with my hmwrk. Sometimes I even ask myself why the hell do I work so hard for.
Someone please help me before I burst. (link)

Hey, I've got the same problem--100%! I'm in college now, but this problem has been with me since junior high, prolly. One thing I do is play mental games with myself...like, thinking about how nice it will be to get out of school and get a job and make decent money. And when I think like that, I know I have to hurry up and get the hmwrk done so I can get a decent grade and get my degree and get out. Try focusing on a goal like that--like getting done with this class you're in, or to get done with this year of school, or to graduate, or to get into a college...whatever. Think that this situation you are in now is temporary--it won't last forever. You only have a few weeks or a few months to go until something changes. Try to work hard until then and be as successful as possible until the change occurs. Failure doesn't help anything, so you have to work hard enough to prevent that from happening. Also, there is nothing wrong with taking little breaks while you're working on hmwrk. Just set a limit on how long they can be, and then get back to work. Also, and this is funny--drink lots of ice water while you're working. It's refreshing and kinda stimulating, and it forces you to have little breaks when you sip it. It breaks up the monotony of doing hmwrk.
