Weekly check-in

I've not advanced. i'm still in week one. I need to reread ochem and physics chap 2 and then do the phase 2 to move on. I slept for 10hr yesterday, spent about 4 hrs watching tv shows and did no studying.
The idea of disconnecting my internet service popped into my mind earlier this past week and i've been contemplating it. Few buts that came up include how do i access myreading lab if i disconnect, how do i download my nytimes subscription to my kindle, how do i check stuff on SDN?

Currently, i've no solutions to the above but i'm thinking,
1. I can do myreading lab at work and if work is too busy to do that, i can go to work early, and do an hour of myreading lab there? So that'll be about 3 times a week. If not, i can go to the library one of my free days and study and do myreading lab so that will be 4 dedicated days a week. Other days, i can read stuff like norton reader and practice passages which should become a daily thing.

2. concerning my nytimes subscription, i barely log on at home to download it. i logged on friday at work and the last issue i had was from the thursday before. Point is, i barely download issues at home so that shouldn't be a huge concern. If push comes to shove, i can drive to mcdonalds and pick up a signal.

3. SDN, maybe i can use the time at work to catch up on SDN? in that case, home is dedicated for studying.


the advantages? i won't be tempted to spend time on facebook or spend time browsing aimlessly. Also, i'd be saving about $37.55 or so a month. I think that's how much i spend on gas per month. Also, i can use my free time at home to read instead of being on the computer.
Looks like i came up with lots of ideas these past few seconds. Question is when do i disconnect? Also, all work no play makes jack a dull boy. Will eliminating all shows eliminate the 'play' in my work week? I do have to argue that before the internet, people still incorporated 'play' in their work week. Maybe i could knit or something.
Sounds like a good idea.
Back to work i go.
