Day 6

Today was a dark, dark day, a day where I lost my sense of self. Oh the day stated off innocently enough, just like any other day, and then after 1:30 it took a sinister turn. Something died inside of me this day: my laziness. I sat down and began doing hours upon hours of schoolwork, and doing it efficiently. And yes today was indeed dark (it was raining) but I feel as though this project has literally helped me more than I could ever hope for, and far sooner then I expected. I thought it would take until day 12 or so for some positive results to show. I mean just earlier today I thought I was simply going to cave in (after 5 days, I know I’m soooooooooooo strong willed) while updating my video-game console to make sure things were all good after hackers attacked the PSN (yes that happened, google it, and yes google is now a verb). Let me reiterate that: I was mere button presses away from simply giving in and enjoying endless amounts of entertainment that was not available to me, or anyone for that matter for the past few weeks but instead I decided to change my password, install an update and simply shut off the console. I haven’t had this much of self-control since grade nine and actually did do things like work ahead, and wake up quickly. Also while I was on my console I realized how many shortcuts to games I have on my computer and how hard it’s going to be to ignore those during week two, or the next few minutes.
