Exams...

I'm getting tired of the review-drain process... Don't know what that is? Well... from the words itself, you review all the lessons and then drain all the stuff in the exams. Sounds easy? NOT! I feel like whenever I have those exams, I need 72 hours of recuperation. But hello?! At times like these.. "meaning: finals"... who has the moment to relax?

Day 9

Still no Sims... I'm not that attached to it, I guess. I think about it at an average of twice per day. I'm getting busy with school stuff so it's keeping my mind off those things.

I was able to spend a lot of time in the library reviewing today. Wow. Can you believe I was there from 10am to 3pm? I can't believe it either. I think I was possessed. Lol.

Anyway, got to do two reports on the UV-VIS Spectrophotometer. Ack~~!! *gets drowned in school work*

Penance...

I attended the Ash Wednesday Mass at Circle C this afternoon and it was... fun. :) The priest kept on joking about telenovelas which made the discussion light, but the thing is... his homily really hit me. I mean, I keep playing Sims at an average of 10 hours a day. Yes... even if I have exams I play. Yes... it's an addicting game. Yes... I know it's bad to be infront of the picture tube that long.

Anyway, back to the homily. He was asking, can you put a little more time for God? Of course I said 'yes' in an instant. But then again, he asked, what can you sacrifice this Lenten Season for Him? And then, my mind immediately returns "The Sims" as an answer. I tried to think of other things, but it just kept bugging me like an annoying internet pop-up. So right then and there I said, "Ok, I'm not playing 'The Sims' until Easter."

I know... It's almost impossible to get me off the laptop and now I'm saying 'No Sims'?! It's like asking me not to smile when you're laughing or taking off an arm. But I already promised it to myself and to Him, that I won't be playing it...

So yeah.. report on first day without Sims.

Day 1

I feel so drained. I put back the laptop in it's bag and I kept it underneath my bed. My hands are itching to play and I really, really, really want to play. Ugggghhhh! Why did it have to be Sims? Whyyyy? T_T

Perhaps it's a shallow thing for most of you. But for me, who's addicted to the game. It's agonizing. ;_;

All this time I've been thinking, what spells can I use? What other characters can I create? What other items should I use? Which character will I play next? And it's driving me nuts! @_@

*deep sigh*

I can do this. I can survive this. I can do this. *chants*
