If I was smart, I would have finished my materials homework and my part of my materials lab days ago.

If I was even barely smart, I would have skipped reading all my blogs and comics, and finished those assignments earlier today.

I need to get off this computer. Seriously.

history repeats

I hate to be the bearer of ill news, but precisely the same sort of thing happened a few decades ago to the previous college generation when teletype-style timesharing became available between midnight and 6am --- see http://zhurnal.net/ww/zw?CollegeCollage2 for example --- and before that (and still, for many people) when TV was new --- and before that, no doubt, with the introduction of radio, or the printing press, or posted-in-the-Forum news scrolls, or ...

As per Ben Stein's advice (in http://zhurnal.net/ww/zw?EinBenStein from BOYS' LIFE Oct. 2002): "One, develop good study habits. They're incredibly, unbelievably valuable. ..."

Easier said than done, however ... as witness my typing here instead of reading MIDDLEMARCH! (^_^) --- ^z

I feel oddly glad that I'm not the first to suffer from such an effect. Still, the point remains, as you said.

By the way, LJ lets you use a major subset of the standard HTML tags in comments, so you can link the College Collage essay (http://zhurnal.net/ww/zw?CollegeCollage2) and the Ben Stine essay (http://zhurnal.net/ww/zw?EinBenStein) directly.
