hello~~~~(^_^) i've thought of that but have never actually tried it. you see...my school stuff are rather long... not like the ones i had in high school where one could actually finish in an hour or two. mine's like study til you drop! haha. i have this bunch of readings, papers, and exams. and they keep coming. *sigh* i do still have some sort of control over myself, especially when the deadlines are near. haha. most of the time i end up doing requirements an entire night so i don't sleep. i've already done that a couple of times since june (our classes start in june^_^). and another thing, i have a part time job. i'm a tutor. after my pm classes (which end at 4pm) i go to work and finish at around 7pm. then i clean myself up and use the internet until around 11pm, then study until 2am. i'm crazy really. don't you think so?

Oh my goodness!!! 2am?! Well, what time do you get up in the mornings to go to school? You are crazy...but I still think you're pretty darn great! You sound VERY busy, but it also sounds fun to me. I guess you really CAN'T do your homework as soon as you get home because you're just so busy and it takes WAAAAY too long to do, doesn't it? My poor friend! I don't have any advice for you then, hehe, sorry!!!

haha. tuesdays and thursdays i start at 8.30am with basketball (my PE~). and i'm totally no good at it. i just run back and forth as fast as i could to get rebounds. haha. wednesdays and fridays i wake up at 6am!!!! my classes start at 7am and my toughest subjects are on these days. m(_ _)m *sigh* crazy and great?!? makes me sound like a mad scientist!!! haha. fun...??? i'm not very sure about that. well not in those days when my students just felt like pissing me off, or when they didn't want to study so i had to make myself 'interesting' to convince them to listen. ugh. hate those days. don't worry, i'm holding up~ (^0^)/haha i just failed to submit a paper once, but not because i didn't have the time, i just totally forgot about it. haha

i am also addicted to internet as you are but what i do to gain my focus on studies is that i asked to my self that what will happen if i didn't study well and where will i be in the future if i go on with not studying properly and wasting my time on pc. when i answer these question i ask to myself is that what i want in future if the answer is no than i know that have to say no to internet addiction this helps me focus on my studies.

hi there rahat:) welcome to mylot. yeah that would be a very nice way to keep myself from using the internet longer than necessary. though i haven't been having problems with it recently. i've had lots of exams and a thesis to work on so i haven't been online for some time. it seems that i can be responsible when i really have to.:) thanks for dropping by~

I always have this problem when I was in school, computer games are always beckoning me. I guess the thing to do is to get the studying out of the way first. Study first and play later.

i wish i had someone here with me who could scold me whenever i don't stick to my plans. i've always said to myself that i'll study first, study first, study first, then 'i'll just check my email' suddenly crosses my mind, and that's just about the end of me. haha.
