Default .....What You Can\'t Have

Simple observation of myself:

doing my undergrad degree, i played poker constantly, and wondered if i should bother finishining my degree cauyse i lost interest in it completely, but i did anyway

for 6 months after i only played poker, but immediatly got bored of hit and hated it, i wanted to be back at college learning stuff, so i started a masters degree after the 6 months

which is where i am now, 2 weeks into my masters i am already skipping classes and playing poker non-stop again

You need to be honest with yourself, because you're losing money in the meantime. College is far too expensive to piss away, I learned that the hard way. Crack down on yourself...only play poker in your FREE time, weekends, ect. You've already tried it full time and it didn't work out. Don't try and trick yourself into thinking this will be a good plan again. Good luck in school dude.

You seem to get sick of stuff pretty quickly, you gotta suck it up and finish school, you really should limit your poker to only during your free time like the other reply suggested. So I guess all I can say is, stop the madness and finish school. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I used to skip classes to play pool. I considered it therapy.

Attending class is overrated. Keep the GPA up an all is fine.

However, do not miss out on the chance to meet cute classmates.
