Turn off your computer?

 

[Croton]

sell your computer.

 

[DAM]

yeah dude thats the best thing to do, i hardly ever studied where my computer was, cuase i could not turn away from it, so i was always somewhere else boring as hell, where the only thing to do was to study.





dam(good luck man, and remember something are worth doing, somethings are worth not doing)

 

[slicksilver]

I could do that but I have still got to use it for my C/C++ and other programming.....any other solution?....thanks

Raj

 

[slicksilver]

this is the only computer me and my family has......my mom needs to talk to my bro more than twice a week(he lives in the USA, I live in India) so selling the computer is not a possibilty...any other solutions guyz......I really want to get back at my studies..

Take out the modem? Take out the NIC? Give your mom the DSL/cable modem and tell her not to give it back to you?

It's known as self-control. Try it, you might like it.

 

[Eeks]

Self control, focus, dedication - Bobafett is right. There is no otehr solution, except avoiding the computer altogether but in your situation, with your programming needs, that is not a feasible solution.

 

[kami]

Sell your computer. Go buy a 486 (something really slow) to type up assignments and reports. When you're done with your education, reward yourself with a completely bitching system

 

[slicksilver]

kami .....i think you are right.....I should do that or either plug the modem out! maybe that should work for me!......how many hours do you guys use the net for?

raj, are you going into computer engineering? my aunt was tellign me that to fresh college grads in the CE field, they are given jobs comparable to an A+ tech over here. but as you gain experience, you are rewarded.

Get yourself a timer, set it for one hour. When the timer goes off, get off the 'Net!!!:|

<< and I want to know if any of you guyz are going through a similiar patch...... >>


If you call 2 and a half years of going thru this 'a patch', then I'd have to raise my hand.
When it first started, I had a week and a half off from school (father died) and my grades started slipping. As they slipped, I started caring less. Since then, it's been games and the lack of caring about grades.

Suggestions:
a) Do all your homework at school
b) Try not to buy new games, you will suffer.
