Why i can't study without distractions

When I was sec 1 - jc 2, I could typically study 9 hours a day. You're probably going, "wow Anna, you're a nerd!" Haha, maybe! Did I say I was pretty much a straight A student? (ok, B for A level Physics and GP, but still..)

But since then, 2 to 3 years on, with the YouTube and FB boom, I can't study straight for 15 minutes without picking up my mobile to put up a "status", watch a short clip or simply refresh my gmail page. Like right now, I'm at Starbucks supposedly studying BP... Hmmm.. :)

But really, I can't help but smile. Being distracted allows me to put more steam in my studying minutes (not hours!) It makes me dread studying less, I think! But then again, I'm at the university level, in a biz school. My education is more than memorization and hitting the books. It's involves observation, surfing the net and spending time just mulling over biz issues. (or am I just trying to defend myself here? Haha)

In any case, I do not recommend such ill discipline of studying at the jc/sec levels, can't say for poly! Because at the lower levels, its abt really knowing and understanding the fundamentals, so don't get distracted, ok kids? :)
