escaping to Haibane Renmei

That' s right.. i've been escaping reality with watching anime for most part of the afternoon, even though i have a test coming up! If I could be two persons at a time, I would be scolding the procrastinating part of myself right now. but what to do? I don't seem to be able to watch just one episode, and then continue concentrating on studying. This is my inability to delay self-gratification i suppose. In the book " the road less travelled", the author wrote that the ability to delay self-gratification is what sets those who succeed in life from those who don't. Does this mean I'm a LOSER?

It hasn't always been like this though. I can remember those days in secondary school where I would really sit down and study nonstop in preparation for mini-tests and examinations. In fact, I would give up sleep just so to be able to memorise in greater detail what would be tested the next day. I am amazed at my tolerance and patience of the past. Where had all that memorising ability gone to?

And to think that the anime wasn't even that interesting that it would keep me occupied for the past 3 hours. Haibane Renmei's graphics were nice, but the story was just too slow for my taste.
