when ten-minute distractions end up taking two hours

[wingblossom]

Dear self: please stop editing pages on TV Tropes and go back to writing your paper. You know, the last paper you have to write for the last semester of your senior year because you're graduating in two days? It's not even that long. The length requirement is only ten pages.

Also, Youtube is not a viable alternative to doing work either.

Nor is Wikipedia, Gmail, or the BBC.

Ahahaha, would you believe me if I told you I have been having the exact same problem with TV Tropes? Well, not the editing part, but the whole "I'll just... visit for a second. I need a quick break. Yeah. four hours later..."
Also, if I can break free and do it, so can you! Gogogo! *cheers you on*

Absolutely! TV Tropes is DESIGNED to be addictive, hence the 'deep dark abyss' bit. On the other hand, it could be like the Bermuda Triangle -- once you come in, you don't come out. XD

I just finished my paper! It ended up being a solid fourteen pages, which proves that when I tell myself I'm going to stop at a certain page limit, I never do. Also, good luck with your finals tomorrow!
