For about the hundredth time I'm going to attempt to reformat myself. Unfortunatly this does not mean a larger missile launcher and a new paint job, but includes such things as less time spent on the internet and sitting around in general (I'm thinking maybe an hour, 1.5 hours on weeknights) and not buying any but the most essential toys until I get a decent job to pay for them.


It's not exactly on account of New Years, but more having to do with the fact that my parents sat me down and said "This is where you've fucked up, this is where you need to get better." And "this" covered a longer list than I'd like to have.

Unfortunatly, I've been here many times before and the attempts to turn myself into something slightly neater, more useful, and more socially adept than a slime mold have usually ended before the first week. I don't want that to happen this time, so I am going to try my damndest to actually make this work. I've only got about four months to do it with because...well, I don't know if they'd actaully follow through, but there was mention of not sending me to college if I didn't shape up. Which quite honestly scares me.


Okay, you can all come out, angsting is over. In other news, tonight's the last night of Hannukah, meaning my last day to get more presents celebrate the joyous festival of lights and get my Hannukah-ficlet done. Happy Hannukah, y'all.

WHAT?! How can they not send you to college?? Not going to college jacks peoples lives up. I can't see how anyone who cared about their child in the least could use that as a reasonable punishment! *sigh* But it's not my job to get annoyed at other people's parents.

Good luck with straightening your grades up. If you need help, let me know and I'll email you occasionally and tell you to stop checking your email. And happy Hannukah (and ficlet)!

Like I said, if I shape up enough I doubt they'll follow through. But thanks for wanting to help (no, seriously, thank you. I'm a "check the email" junkie). I think I con do this if I just focus on it.

I understand. I'm a fellow junkie. When my constant checking gets slightly pitiful I tell myself I'm not allowed to check for another twenty minutes and force myself to do homework until then, which meant I was always looking at the clock. Then I changed the criteria to say I couldn't check email or get on the Internet for any reason until I'd finished "X" amount of work. That seems to help me (mostly) so it might help you, too.

Me, I'm thinking of just not getting on the internet unless I have research until 8:30 or so. Avoiding temptation.
