Balance
Recently, I've finally gotten to watch a lot of anime. I'm also doing school work, writing for anime.no, keeping my room clean and getting enough sleep.
Great, right? Yeah, except that it's led to me never being on MSN or IRC (I haven't logged on at all since I moved, actually). I don't like spending time on my laptop, and don't have internet on my desktop yet, so that's just the way things turned out. And it's not too bad, actually. Not to say I don't miss talking to my friends, but when I had MSN and IRC open, I spent way too much time there, and I was never able to do anything else. It distracted me from school work, which is really important right now, it kept me up late, and it created an Xbox-hueg backlog of anime, further creating stress. My old room was a huge mess, and I need time to prevent that in my new room, as well as to fix up the last things needed to make a great room.
Of course, I won't completely cut myself off from chatting. I just need some time away, I guess, and when I return, I have to learn to restrict it. Social contact is good, of course, but I really need to concentrate on school and other things right now. Besides, I know that I'll have plenty of time to spend with the people I chat with the most this summer and the next year anyway.
