I really should be studying for my HSC half yearly's but I'm blinded by Halo 3's majesty...I can't stop playing xbox live and is distracting me from my studies.

Does anyone else have simliar problems or solutions besides "omg you nerdz get a leif!"

Ask a family member or friend to hide your game for you. It would be better to get a close friend to do this, hiding the game at home would enable you to tear apart your house looking for it. You're less likely to do this to a friend's house.

Halo 3? You could at least ruin your HSC with good games.

My boyfriend gets really distracted by his computer games, I'm trying to get him to cut down and focus on his studies.

I regret using my paypal to buy CounterStrike for him! lol

Then he has to verify his address and bank account before he can do anything which takes days. Or he can get his gf to wire some money over, probably takes 12 hours at most from payment to download.

I really should be studying for my HSC half yearlys as well.

But.

Facebook is addictive!

I also go checking MySpace and Bebo.

BOS is annoying me a lil. But still sometimes check.

Plus I no longer have motivation to do well.

Lol, he gave me the money for it. It was just easier for me to get it then for him to get all the paypal stuff set up.

Reminds me of a friend of mine who ended up getting a UAI of 70 or there abouts. Except replace Halo 3 with Halo 2.
