I Quit.

As a number of you would know, from the previous posts on this very blog, over last week, I was on Media Restriction Week, during which time I was not allowed to consume media. Well, as of 7:00pm on Saturday night, I give up. It's not that I can't take the lack of media, I'm sure under a number of circumstances I could have gone the full seven days, it's just, I found out something very, very important: Media Restriction Week turns me into an absolutely intolerable person to be around.

I became something of a self-righteous dick over the past week. Telling others constantly to turn down or turn off their own media, feeling smugly superior to those of my colleagues who had cracked before me, alienating my friends and family... it was on Saturday when I realized the type of person I had become, and it was on Saturday that I decided to stop being that person. After all, I was going to spend all of Sunday hanging out with my girlfriend, and I wasn't about to subject her to my obnoxious behaviour.

So, despite vowing to the contrary, despite saying that I would use every single iota of my self-control to do this, I quit.

After all, there are more important things in life than completing assignments.
