Couldn’t Concentrate During Study Hall

April 12th, 2005

My elementary school had Study Hall right after school. In Study Hall, everyone was supposed to work on their homework for an hour.

I usually squandered away the time, instead of taking advantage of it. I would really try to do my homework, taking it out every time and getting ready to do it, but keeping my mind focused enough to actually complete any of it was a problem. My mind wanted to think about everything else, from thoughts about earlier in the day to observations about the children in the room.

By the end of the Study Hall period, pretty much everyone else was done or almost done with their homework. I, on the other hand, was still at the beginning, even though I had struggled and it had not been fun.
