dknows Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I watched the entirety of AMC's The Walking Dead this week. Can't wait for coursework to start on Monday. An efficient and productive way to distract myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarwinAG Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Frequenting these forums and incessantly posting. I gave up facebook so it did not distract me from the graduate application process, but I think TheGradCafe has replaced it. Kwest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplepolarbear Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I just watched every episode of Downton Abbey. I might do it again. Â I hadn't even thought about that. What I great way to pass time, I always get engrossed in those episodes. Â On a separate note, I've been playing sims medieval in between reading the ten books I've been assigned for class. It is my official guilty pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amlobo Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't know if you can count this as a guilty pleasure, but it is keeping my mind off things. Â I am teaching test prep courses 2 times a week, and it's fun to "play professor" and help teenagers beat the evil standardized tests. Â Lol. Â Â Also, I am conducting undergrad admissions interviews for my alma mater tomorrow, and I am kind of enjoying the power trip of being on the "other side"... mwa ha ha.

amlobo Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Are there any parallels in UG vs Grad admissions?  Wondering anything in particular?  I rep my UG at college fairs and conduct interviews... but am not actually involved in selection.  I get to give an interview report and recommend/not recommend admission.  They didn't let in the last kid I recommended  Lol.

EdYouKateOr Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Ok, newest guilty pleasure (drum roll please) I found an app called Grading Game! You have 30 seconds to correct essays and fail students or you lose your assistantship! Great fun! Very distracting way to pass time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Perhaps then I can fixate on my Sims' goals and futures (which I CAN control) rather than my own... Getting back into the Sims 3 was an active decision I made in response to being done with applications. I can't control my fate now but I can make sure Melody Pond realizes her dream of becoming quite the adventurer.Not a one of my Sims has any sort of literary ambition, I assure you.

annieca Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 For me it's a combination of many things. Spending far too much time drinking and catching up on being a teenager that I missed while being a teenager. Working on my honors senior thesis, working on research for London MUN. But only the first two are really guilty pleasures.My true guilty pleasure? Watching The Newsroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
