The main difference now is that I'm not so hyperactive anymore. That said I still do have trouble sitting for extended periods (my two and a half hour night class... I could have murdered someone). Everything else though seems to be the same. I never get bored though, I just never get anything done because my mind always finds something to fill the time with. Thoughts about a movie I saw a day ago, a song, what I still have to do that day, a conversation I had with someone earlier, etc. etc.
I'm the same in regards to doing something I enjoy. I can read for hours straight about Iwo Jima in WWII, but I can't get through a paragraph on the target audience and pastoral purpose of the Gospel According to Mark.
