What is one thing everyone else finds easy but you can't seem to do?
 
Seeing things the way others do. I find myself doing things the way that best suit me, and when people start to understand things that I find a bit uncomfortable makes me feel out of place, but lately I started to care less about that and more about making sure I watch myself, especially at work when it comes to counting money etc.

What is stopping you from doing either of those things?

My sleep is the biggest hindrance. I'm hoping it'll change and work out this fall if I get accepted. So far I haven't been able to complete anything satisfyingly long term. It usually gets messed up either by my sleep rhythm or not having enough strength to keep going. And I don't really have a solution that would permanently fix it. I'm hoping to complete the six months of studying and start working evening and night, that kind of work schedule might work for me?

Make a piercing whistle with my fingers. My ol' man can put his pointer fingers in his mouth and let loose with a whistle so loud it makes your ears ring. I can whistle the regular, average way, but I cannot figure out how to make that majorly loud, piercing sound. :shrug:

I swear I was going to say the same thing. I've tried and tried but cannot do it! :(

I'm tired right now and I'm at work. Mind over matter. :P

i can't handle pill regimens. antibiotic three times daily for ten days? forget it. i'm done by the third day.

My dad did the loud whistle without fingers. So are the fingers really necessary?

With two of your fingers (pressing the lower lip btw), all you get is a loud sound similar to the couch's whistle.
 
Fall asleep when I get in bed. Most people I know tend to pass out, but I have a hard time shutting my mind down. It can take anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hour for me to completely fall asleep. It gets worse on other days, but I've never truly been able to fall asleep within minutes of hitting the pillow.
 
Another thing I can't do is fly a kite. No matter how hard I try, it leaves the ground and then comes crashing down. :cry:
 
Sleep, my sleeping pattern is so non-existent right now I have to force myself to stay in bed and try and relax. It often takes over 2 hours lately.
