I realize again just how stupid I am.

Why did I not just buckle down and finish school when I had the chance? Here I am 11 years later, a measly 30 credits shy from being done with my degree and I finally decide to get off my ass and do it. Great…right? Yeah, getting used to being back in “study mode” sucks when you are 32, work 40+ hours a week with 4 kids, a wife and a gaming habit worser (see, told you I am stupid) than a crack addiction.


I AM SO CLOSE I can taste it but damn, every waking moment this last weekend I spent studying pretty much, did not fire the 360 more than once Saturday and Sunday. How is it that I can stay up until the wee hours of the morning (even on work nights) playing online yet I am struggling to do the same studying? I am at the point where I need to schedule myself study hours and gaming hours. Yes that sounds stupid, but I have to game…it is my only hobby really and a major release from daily stress but I also know the importance of finishing college.


If anything my 14 year old is getting a valuable after school special lesson, daddy should have cut down on chasing women, playing sports and drinking./smoking through college and just focused on his studies. Yes it will be worth it all in the end I know, but it sucks right now.

Im a full time student. Hate to say it, but my 360 is sitting idle more than I'd like it to.

I don't envy you...I remember those days, and they were rough, although I only worked 20 hours a week and was a student full time. I had friends comment that all I did was study, and it was true. One semester, I had advanced programming, calculus based physics (electromagnetics and optics), multi-variable calculus (calc 3), french 3, and discrete mathematics. I think that's the first time that I truly wanted to die.

the crappy part is, it is one of those situations where I have nobody but myself to thank so all I can do is suck it up right?\r \r at least it is all basically electives at this point although I am taking a full time classload on to get it done quicker
