Hm... my attention span is generally pretty long.  I can sometimes go for several days paying attention almost exclusively to one thing.  Sometimes my attention span isn't that strong *shrug*

I can only concentrate on things that interest me which explains my failing grade...

Whoops, typo, my bad.
