Computer addiction: time to change

[Heresson]

I'm in serious trouble. I went to that lady, she told me I have to take this exam.

But it wouldn't be so bad if not that I was supposed to read one thing she left in her deposit - some text for the exam apart from the usual stuff. But the text is gone - she has apparently thought she examined all already or she thought we (well, I) had enough time to read it already.
She doesn't answer the phone. I'll try to meet her tomorrow morning, before the exam, apologise, ask her to move this exam for a week and to give me this #^** text

[SlowwHand]

You're toast.

I wanted "It's her fault, surely it will be alright" comments

[LordShiva]

It's her fault, surely it will be alright

[Heresson]

Do You mean it?

[LordShiva]

No

[Heresson]

But it's HER fault! She didn't mention she's going to take this #&@#(*(@# text out of her deposit before we are all examined.

[Heresson]

I got the text

from a friend. The only girl that had to have exam as I did. I didn't have her phone, but I was given it by someone I got phone number from someone whose phone number was given to me by someone...
Still, I've already sent a mail to the lady, so she'll know my preparement is just a bluff

Aargh! Good luck!

... Though I hope you only read this after you had the exam, because you obviously need to study before then.

But I see you're online. Get off Apolyton!

[Heresson]

I will. Time to eat sth and watch another South Park episode.
Then I'll learn entire night

[Heresson]

Computer games are destroying me. For example, I have an exam in friday, and my only chance to avoid it is to talk to one lady. But I've missed a talk with her today, because I've been playing HoM&M and surfing the net all night. I've missed lessons with someone I really like for the same reason as well.
It's happening on and on.
I still have a chance to talk with this lady 1 day before the exam, but she will be angry that I'm coming to her that late, probably.

I've decided I need to change. I will only play computer games 1,5h/day, will only spend 1/2 h posting at poly and doing anything in the net but sending e-mails.
Additional 1h may be spent on Civ2 as long as it is in order to progress my scns (not likely, as CIv2 doesn't want to work on my computer right now).

Each day I will be posting a review of my success in fighting my addition. If I do not succeed, call me names.
If I do, praise me.

Thank You.
Bye

I had a similar problem about 6 months ago. Civ and this place stole a lot of my time. Not good for work or my relationship. Procrastination is evil. Long story short, I quit cold turkey and it sounds like that's your best option too. Uninstall all games and change your Apolyton password to something random so you can't log back in.
It's easy, really
