do you ever get distracted by a hobby/website right at the end?

do you ever get distracted by a hobby/website right at the end?

every year:

level 1 some ecards

level 2 quickmeme and ancestry.com

level 2 this year: this simpsons app on my phone, and imgur. … i had to delete the app a few weeks back.

am i the only one?

That’s the burnout working on you.

Me h. I find myselft retouching some photos n spend hours on updating my website. Sigh

Didn’t realise it but you’re right

For me it was

-fb

-nba.com (playoffs)

-vice doco on some new columbian narcotic

-2 clothing websites

-gisele bundchen

this was just today :open_mouth:

I’ve been watching Jerry Springer Trannylicious videos on you tube because someone called me EconTranny.

I haven’t written any exams yet, but pretty much the story of my life during undergrad exams. Fine for homework, but as soon as actual studying comes around it’s back to (1) theChive, (2) fb, and (3) gearpatrol or uncrate. or I’d decide to bust out an old video game I never beat and go hard for a couple days. Damn procrastination :stuck_out_tongue:

I ended up obsessively playing Mario Kart. By exam day I managed to finish everything with the highest rankings possible.

Also would like to point out that another year, I played Street Fighter in between study sessions, but that was a massive mistake. I always ended up being pissed off (that I lost like a pansy) and had no mood to study after that.

haha I did something similar, for L1 I played CS source for the 15min break, study 45 then play again. But yeh if I had a bad game it put me off

How I met your mother on netflix…

i could not help myself, i know i am totally wasting time doing it but i guess it seems rather hopeless anyways; i watched 3 and a half seasons of Breaking Bad. I did however, fast forward throught about 30% of each episode, its a too slow when i have test on my mind.

I feel a bit relieved to see I’m not alone lol

i deactivated facebook like a month ago…

oh and yea i watched the pilot of breaking bad and thought to my self…this was the worst idea ever!! and tried to forget about it

june 3rd i am gonna finish the first season

june 4th season 2/3

breaking bad is a really bad idea for two reasons, it is very slow at times and its actually has some very cool episodes which makes it addicting, bad combination at a time like this. you made a good choice by not starting in the first place.

i wonder if i’ll even care about it after the test.

My distractions started last week, from here:

when I really have to study I go to a place where my computer/tablet/phone are not accessible…otherwise I would be on fb/youtube all day long lol

I just browsed a web auction and bought something I don’t need all the while, in another window, someone is talking on a video about 12-month forward contracts. I don’t know why I suddenly ended up browsing that other window instead of focusing on mark-to-market feature of futures.

I was distracted by a hobby of collecting Kabuki masks. Actually I went to Japan for a trip and had a chance to visit Kabuki theatre in Kyoto. In that theatre, the actors wear these traditional kabuki masks and samurai outfits to perform drama. From that point, I became obsessed with these Japanese masks and I started collecting them
