I was planning to stay in school for at least 3 more hours after my classes were over to start on my studying for Macroeconomics. We have a midterm tomorrow, so it’s one of those final chances to redeem the credits I lost in the earlier half of the term. But then, I just decided to do the studying at home. I knew it would be harder though, especially considering that my mom’s home (and her constant nagging) and, worse, there’s DSL.

These are the times when I think to myself how much I really love hate the internet. It is so addictive, and yet so destructive. I know most of you probably understand what I’m trying to say here. There are so many more interesting stuff I find on the net just by clicking on some links than flipping through the pages of my sociology or economics books.

Probably, the problem lies in me, though. I’m the one who gets easily tempted by all those fun stuff over the internet that I end up neglecting most of the things that I should do.

And before you let your minds drift away as to what really catches my attention on the internet, I’d like to inform you that I am not one of those internet gamers, internet porn addicts, chat-ers, facebook-ers, or the dedicated bloggers (and putting them all in one sentence does not, IN ANY WAY, also put them in the same magnitude of this so-called “internet addiction”). I’m more of the google-r type. I just google whatever comes into my mind and that’s how I spend hours sitting in front of the computer.

But, for now, I’m going to try to stop that. Well, just until finals are over, I guess (which is more than a month away!). And, hopefully, tomorrow I can start on making outlines again for my other courses so I can be ready for the upcoming finals. For now, I just have to concentrate on my Macroeconomics midterm tomorrow and pray that I read every question carefully because that’s how I usually fail my exams. I miss a word or two because of time pressure. Stupid me.

That’s about it!

And, oh yeah, I still hate DST. I woke up late today because my biological clock is still not accustomed to the +1 hour thing. Hopefully, I’ll get rid of this problem by tomorrow.
