A Week Without Screens

So my week without tv and internet has come and gone and I survived. more importantly I actually enjoyed it for the most part. My apartment is cleaner then ever, I read a few things I felt I never had time for, my productivity increased at school and I was able to actually spend time re-evaluating my life.

That being said it wasn’t always easy, there were many times when I was tempted to forget it and go play minecraft but in the end I’m glad I didn’t.

So what now, University is still as busy as ever and I have some major papers coming up as well as some exams and assignments. Do I keep going or do I revert back to my old ways? the answer I hope is a middle ground between work, learning, and entertainment. there is no reason to spend hours a day watching TV but there are a few shows that I want to watch. So I am going to let TV and the internet back into my life but at a much more reasonable level than before.

But the most important thing I learned from all of this is how to get free coffee at my University! so that is exciting!!!

anyways I have some articles to read so this is it for now!

A Week Without Screens

I love watching great tv shows, and I enjoy using the internet and playing games like minecraft, but I feel they are becoming to great of a distraction in my life.

I’m in university and am getting bogged down with my papers and exams but instead of dealing with the things that are in my life I’ve been burying my head in a constant stream of distractions. I feel disjointed and far from knowing who I am and even further from knowing who I want to be.

So starting tomorrow no screens. I’m putting a beautiful Exploding Tardis picture in front of my tv and leaving my laptop safely stored away.

The Boundaries:

I do need to communcate through email for my job and school so i’m allowing 20 mins each day to read and respond to anything that can’t wait till next monday.

other than that it is pretty simple: no tv and no computer

The phone will be the hardest obstical but I am only using my lovely Iphone as a phone and will not be playing any games or checking twitter or tumblr, if I get texts I will read but only respond to the ugent stuff, my friends all no what I’m doing so I suspect I will only get important messages from my boss and the like.

My blog has a little queue, but I’ll be back to let you know how this all turned out in a week or so!

here’s to my prof! who is trying to continue his lecture while a marching band passes by the window.

GPOY.

Me last night while writing my paper! Why do I always leave it till the night before? and why can I write so clearly the morning of? Especially after only a few hours sleep! Suddenly I get up and finish the dumb paper in less than a half hour and get the thing submitted with seconds to spare. Why can’t I sit down and write that quickly a few days before the damn thing is due without any stress?
a question to which I’ll probably never get an answer!!!

Done, Done, Done, Doneditydone!!!!!!

packing, relaxed, and excited!!!

 
 


So I’ve been doing this all wrong!!!! I shouldn’t be drinking Red Bull while studying, I needs to get me some Mountain Dew!! Got IT!!!



Paper due tomorrow…..spent entire day watching The Big Bang Theory!

 


My Problem is that I need a great grade on this in order to pass the course so I’m reluctant to stray to far from what he is expecting

is there any way to look at it from a different angle? ..maybe give the prof something to think about


can’t be done! must be a loop-hole!
 


I have to write a paper “proving” things that I see no proof of……… hating university at this moment

 


In Class Learning about nothing Important and resisting the urge to yell really loud how pointless the course truely is!

 


Went To Bed at 5:30 ~ Back Up at 6:30….paper is finished, exams have been had. Sleep Time!!

 


yep…..

yep…..



Say What???

Over the last two weeks my philosophy prof has been slowly handing back our papers… all but mine. Today he asked if he could speak to me after class. Turns out he wanted to know if he could post my paper online to show the other students how to write a good paper! I said sure in a state of shock and he gave me back my paper.

I didn’t have the heart to tell him I had started the paper the night before and finished it 5 minutes before I handed it in, without proof reading it.
