So on Saturday I made a fairly straightforward decision to take a week off from playing video games. I’ve not crumbled so far but in fairness I’ve been busy doing other things. I have so much work on at the moment that it will really pay not to be play. In particular I need to prepare for two exams at the back end of this week.
As I said in my last post, I’ve not really been participating as fully in my courses as I should be, missing lectures, workshops, not turning in assignments… the whole shebang. This fact coupled with not having sat an exam where I have to remember things without a book open prompting me I’m just about ready to shit myself with fright burst with anticipation.
But first there are more pressing demands, I have a piece of work that, by the grace of god, I’ve been given an unexpected reminder and time extension for due at midnight tonight, and another that needs to be submitted by 10am tomorrow.
It will be interesting to see how not playing TF2 until the early hours of the morning will affect my attendance and participation with the academic side of things…

It’s been a long time since I was, as you people so quaintly say, “at University,” and maybe things have changed since then, but, Rj, my friend, you’re courting death if you don’t work as hard as you absolutely can in school. Nothing is worth that feeling of not being prepared for an exam, or trying to write a paper the evening before it’s due.
Of course, I was often so stoned I wasn’t sure I was in the right sections, but, what the hell, it was the 70’s and it was Berkeley…LOL!
You keep posting, and I’ll keep reading.
