I don't typically procrastinate in my work.
I usually wait to submit my work until the last minute, but I prefer to DO the work a few days ahead of time.
I know we aren't supposed to do things just for the sake of the grade, but this time, I decided to use that as a method of applying pressure to myself.
Typically the things that keeps me from my work are movies and video games. So, this morning, I sat down at 11:00 in front of the first gears of war (I just got it) and determined to beat the first level on "hardcore" and afterwards (and only afterwards) write a blog post about how it went.
Experimenting by using unmodified dogma. Weird.
Anyway, this game has a seriously steep learning curve if you don't play it on "casual" first. This was actually a bit frustrating, given the time constraints that I had set upon myself (have to turn in blog post link by noon). I kept dying and not knowing why or how to keep it from happening again.
Eventually I beat what I believe counts as the first level (it's not really divided up much into levels, I don't think...)
Now I'm freaking out trying to figure out how to say what I want to as concisely as possible.
11:58
clarity and conciseness do not come when you're under serious time restrictions. This is a worthwhile observation, I suppose.
11:59.
And with that observation, I consider this experiment a success. Followup post to come.
maybe.
after more Gears.
