the problem with studying this year is this laptop. it all started that one fateful day when i finally decided it was time for me to procure all my necessary notes and past year papers.

most of the stuff were online so i downloaded them all, and it was quite a lot of notes. then, i had to make a choice: print them all out or refer from my laptop.

being the hopelessly lazy ass that i am, i'm sure you know which one i chose.

and of course as always, when it comes to studying, everything else seems infinitely interesting, and there is an infinite number of things on the laptop. thus my studying has been an infinite failure.

without even talking about the websites, the music, the videos, i have been distracted by the most stupid of games: solitaire and minesweeper.

solitaire has always been a favourite of mine, and it's really so easy to just click on the icon whenever my mind wanders from the notes. one game, i always tell myself, but that's never the case

minesweeper, on the other hand, is one absolute fucker of a game. i curse the day when i somehow decided to start playing it for the first time in a year.

i think i spent 3 hours playing it on that day, and countless others on little 'sessions' that always seemed to stretch to half an hour or more.

the problem with minesweeper is that i'm always soooooo close, and it's so annoying to lose. the problem is that i've only won i think 3 times in a thousand games. sometimes i click till i get blur and misclick, and FFFFFFFUUUUUUUU!!! restart.

these days though, i've moved on to something a little more interesting, facebook poker. i think the last time i played it was 2 years ago, but this damn studying thing is really pushing me to seek any sort of escape i can find.

so here i am, heart beating a little quicker, wondering if my pocket aces are gonna get fucked over again by some lucky and nonsensical 2 pair.
