Terrible TERRIBLE Time Sinks

Well, this shouldn't have been unexpected.  I had a feeling that, much like Dawn of War 2 before it, Starcraft 2's campaign (Wings of Liberty) would become a massive time sink for me.  I was right: twenty-odd hours later, I've managed to finish it, though it earned me itchy eyes and a massive migraine in …

Purchasing Urges

I'm sure that everyone has felt the urge, at one time or another, to just go and buy something even though somewhere in the back of their minds there's this voice trying to remind them that, "No you don't need that" or (much more frequent in my case) "No, you don't have the funds for …

Drowsy

I should be happy that I've been able to get a full night's worth of sleep, after what amounted to a full week jumped up on energy drinks and cola, but in reality I don't feel like I've slept at all.  I feel sleepy, and generally lethargic.  At first glance it seems just like the …

Welcome Respite

I am finally done with all my final requirements for this term, and for all the procrastination I've done over the past three months I really feel that I've earned this break.  Frankly I could count the hours I've slept over the course of the week with my two hands.  Cramming... is never good, especially …

Last Stretch… Again

Almost done.  Won't be able to post that micro Thesis tonight though. Personally, I'm beat. Oh well, I'll just post it on the class group when I wake up tomorrow morning.

Splodge

Ah.  I've got a blinding headache right now, but I admit to it being entirely self-inflicted.  I've spent the good chunk of the day catching up on Berserk, but I think it's time well-spent.  Definitely not something I'd suggest to anyone younger than eighteen though, what with all the messy, messy ends characters seem to …

Foregone Conclusions

I think it's really come to the point that my sister should give up nagging me about finding work in the BPO industry because, frankly, as long as I'm taking up my postgraduate degree, it's never going to happen.  My inflexible class schedules will always, ALWAYS, cause problems, particularly during the final interview.  Like my …

Equivalency

For a brief moment I was worried that I would have to submit a Review of Relevant Literature today.  Then I remembered that, since I'm taking up a degree in Creative Writing and not a degree in Literature, I don't have to.  However, I will have to submit a brief background as well as a …

The Great “Slice of Life” Argument

It just had to happen sometime.

Lost Habits

Maybe it's a consequence of the time I spent in the call center/BPO industry, a result of my lack of proper time management, or just simple laziness, but I'm not able to devote as much time as I used to for reading books.  It's ironic, given the fact that, since I'm not working anymore, free …
