Life here has degenerated into sitting in front of the computer and firing up some games, and then playing for hours at a stretch, much to my parents' displeasure. One thing about me is that I am unable to exercise self-discipline when it comes to computer games. Some people can manage to play for one hour a day, but for me it's all or nothing: if I play, I play non-stop, and the other alternative is to not play at all. When I'm at university, I obviously have to go the latter route, and I ensure that my laptop stays game-free, or else I would never get anything done.

As it is I'm not getting anything done at the moment. I hardly touch my guitar (an old guitar...I left my concert guitar in London), and a couple of books have remained unread....
