Dreamer is a more accurate description. Usually, when I find something I'm really interested in, I will drop everything and focus on that one thing, but I lose interest very easily and I jump around a lot on different things...I just can't seem to ever stick to anything..as soon as something gets somewhat difficult, I don't persist.

I RWT would be nice, I was thinking of getting my TOEFL certificate and finding a school to teach english in China..I would love to live abroad and experience something new for a while.

Just a thought, and not exactly on-topic, but you may want to investigate ADD/ADHD. You sound like a typical ADHD person, jumping around a lot, getting very focused on one thing while ignoring other important things, not finishing projects, etc...At least check out what Wikipedia has to say about ADHD and see if it might explain some things in your life.
