If I had two extra hours a day

i would probably spend them reading. i remember saying the same thing to myself five years ago when i was cramming for the univ entrance exam, the bane of existence of all Thai highschoolers. (man am i so old). but it's different this time around. instead of spending these two imaginary hours studying like a high school gangster, i would simply read for pleasure or some kind of non-academic intellectual enrichment.

This is not a random wish seeing that i buy at least 4-5 magazines on a monthly basis. On top of those i also buy books (mostly fiction) and other periodicals every so often. At the moment for example i have three magazines and four-five paperbacks i have to devour. Worse yet, earlier i started The Foreign Student on my flight from new york to bangkok and.. left mid-way, well not even that far. This is not to mention the necessary future purchase which will take place...very soon. 

I think the thing is, i have problem with time management in general. i think i have adult ADD and seriously consider getting professional help from a shrink, to which idea my aunt said was "a little to late" since i am an adult and being able to identify the condition was enough lol. but i don't think i'm that old and my condition can be cured or at least prevented from deepening further. ohh god if only i could whip up a few more hours and have every shrink go jobless at a moment's notice.

I think most of our generation has some kind of adult ADD - it comes with the lifestyle and technology we have today. Between e-mailing, chatting, social networking, texting, cell phone calling, browsing the web and expecting answers after pressing enter on Google, ADD seems inevitable. Also, I didn't really enjoy The Foreign Student that much. I found it a little...weird.
