Multitasking

The thing is, I multitask lots. I go on multiple sites at once on the internet. My mom does the same thing, but she has way more tabs than me. You know what? The girls in my family all multitask.

I actually don’t multitask

I actually don’t multitask often but I do procrastinate. I wonder if there is a video fro that. If anyone know of a cure, please tell me! :) Thanks.

Multitasking

That was an amazing video. I actually don’t multitask that often. The first girl really surprised me. She was doing so many things with technology. I was like, “Am I really gonna be like this?” but after I heard that the cure was face-to-face communication, I realized that I’m not really in danger of my social and emotional development depleting because I have a lot of face-to-face communication in my life.

Not really.

I do spend a lot of time on my computer, but I’m also participating in my theater group, The Octavians, which allows me to communicate with basically all of my friends face-to-face.
