To Study or Not to Study

I know, could I have come up with a lamer title? Probably not...

So I am sitting here, in my basement and avoiding studying for my accounting midterm, which is on Monday. It's my last midterm of the semester.

Soooo, today's topic: Tips on procrastination

1) Apps on iPhone/iPod
I got this new game for my iPhone today called Virtual Villagers 2: The Lost Children. Basically, there are a bunch of people stranded on an island. You have to help them learn how to farm, build, heal, etc. And there are children, who are pretty much useless save for the fact they can collect rare items which give you tech points which in turn allow you to buy advanced technology for building, medicine, etc. It's also in "real-time" which means that even while the game is closed, your villagers continue about their business. I don't know if this sounds lame to you, but all day I have been watching my little villagers fish and climb trees for coconuts.

2) Significant Others
One of the many reasons why I love my boyfriend is his innate ability to distract me when I require distraction (I love you baby <3). Today, however, I asked him not to disturb me because I wanted to focus. Most days, thought, he is always there to send a dirty text message, show me a new comic on xkcd.com (which we both love - check it out if you haven't), or convince me to watch the newest episode of Dollhouse or Castle (both great shows).

This brings me to the mother of all procrastination devices:
3) Facebook
There is no better way to kill time than to log on to Facebook and check out pictures of that guy (or girl) you've been crushing on, or to creep out your prof's facebook and check out his farmville farm (I totally did that to my economics prof), or play addicting games like the above mentioned farmville, tetris or whatever new game Facebook has come up with to prevent you from doing anything productive in your day.

As an afterthought, I realized that blogging is also a great way to avoid that report you're supposed to file, that cupboard you've been meaning to fix or that dog you've been meaning to walk (just kidding - I love my puppy, Ice)
