My Funeral Holiday

The guilt and self loathing is getting to me. Since preparatory leave is on and i've barely covered any of the portion in any of the four subjects, i've decided that studying should occupy most of my time. This would mean that ill have to say away from my vices...namely orkut and movies.
This addiction should have been remedied long time ago...but since it has not been, i've planned to take some action(this will not be the first time i'm saying/writing this).
Step 1: REALIZATION
A few days back i got an HDD full of movies and tv series(House MD) from a friend of mine. that night, as any other night, i left my comp on for no particular reason, only to find that the voltage stabilizer had burnt out overnight. Ofcourse i didnt know this at first and simply assumed that the SMPS had finally given up due to its constant operation. So that whole day i couldnt start my comp, let alone listen to any songs or go online. The same day...in the evening i realised the possibility that the computer may not be damaged at all. I checked the stabilizer and replaced it with a flex box...and in no time i was on the comp and online as well.
Step 2: RESOLVE
That day taught me something...that i couldn't quit this addiction cold turkey...just by force of will or even by force of circumstance. I needed to wean myself off this terrible affliction.
MODERATION was the solution. Only on the comp for a very small amount of time and online for even a lesser duration.
Then of course there was the question of the Movies. So many films! and none that i could dedicate my time to without feeling like a complete loser afterwards. For this i thought i would only see them in parts...you know for 10-20 minutes or so...and then get back to studies.
This was a decision i made three days ago...and so far I've been able to see only 25 minutes of Four Weddings and a Funeral and 15 minutes of The Holiday.
Bloody Hell! I should have known...if movies were supposed to be seen in moderation, in durations of 10-15 minutes at random times..people wouldn't spend millions of dollars making the said films and others wouldn't bother watching them anyway!
So i'm stuck now...cant study because its starting to mess with my head...the paragraphs are all converging and it all seems like i'm trying to cram the whole fucking book in my tiny little brain. Also i cant sit on the comp for more than half an hour without feeling guilty as hell.
IT SUCKS TO BE ME...and then some.

9th June has officially been declared as Independence day by ME...the king of all thats boring and awful. 25 days to go.
