Time, Willy, Time.

The reason why i havent been updating my blog with the usual frequency is not coz i'm mugging away.
It's not coz i lack inspiration.
It's not coz i'm sleep all the time.
It's not coz my com was spoilt.
It was, i'm ashamed to say, my current obsession with CM.
A bloody game has cost me days of work and reading and work-outs.
But it was fun all the same.
Even though it was damn time-consuming.
My mum and dad had a harrowing time trying to lure me away from the screen.
For meals.
For a chat.
To read the newspapers.
It's like an addiction.
Smokers and drinkers would know how it feels.
Not that i suffer from withdrawal symptoms or something of that magnitude.
Rather, i juz cant help it.
Blame my lack of discipline if you will.
There are certain days where one has absolutely no desire nor urge to do anything.
I've been experiencing lots of those days.
Somehow I feel that this sense of ennui is excerbated by the idea of having a time-consuming game to while away time.
Not that i really waste every single drop of time.
I do read during short intervals of game-updating time.
And i covered the whole of this webbie today.

Lots of interesting reads.
Highly recommended by me.
Managed to find time also to check out clips about Billy Joel's We didn't start the fire

A must for people wishing to gain an insight into history.
Anyways, the jerky lines and thoughts are due to me playing and trying to blog at the same time.
Some things never change, do they?
*I see a lot of disapproving shakes of the head from you people*
Anyways, i keep reassuring myself that i still have time.
Even though exams is like juz 10 short days away.
The fact is, i do have time.
10 days for 2 papers is more than adequate.
The problem lies in me using this fact to back up my incessant game-playing.
Also to prevent guilt from seeping in.
Ah...
But for all my guilt-prevention reassurances, guilt has indeed seeped in.
It has begun.
I've sort of made a pledge, to myself, that starting Monday, it'll be a week of mugging and more mugging.
In a bid to finish this sem with a flourish.
The thing about studying is, once one starts, the momentum tends to build itself.
No need for motivational books or inspirational speeches or well-meant scoldings.
I hope that is still the case when i start tomorrow.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
Think i betta note down all the exisiting assignments and exam dates.
Can serve a a reminder.
