Tragedy!

My parents gave me the strict screen limit of an hour. Normally, I could cope, but it's really hard to stay active one TBG with only an hour, and I'd also want to play on my Wii...

PLEASE HELP!

It's not THAT hard, unless you have no friends.

Same.

I love how FMB is so ignorant.

Re: Tragedy!

Hows about going over to a friends house and using their computer OR just use it for more time without telling them...

Re: Tragedy!

LOL, I have SOME screen time. I need to get a life (facepalm)!

Also, you could ask them for more time...

EDIT: NO!!! Now I get 1 hour of screen time for every 10 minutes of piano practice. I'll practice every piece (approx.) 4 times each in 10 minutes.

ANOTHER EDIT: I guess it isn't that bad...I can cope with piano practice  big_smile

ONE MORE EDIT: If you play a musical instrument, maybe I can help. Ask your parents if it is ok that you get 1 hour of screen time per 10 or so minutes of practice. Then set a limit, like 2 hours a day, or higher. If they agree, get to practicing for more playtime!

That's an insanely high ratio - my parents would be much more likely to do a 1:1 kind of thing  smile

LOL, try convincing my parents to do that. Ah well, piano isn't that bad. I was the one who said "I want to learn the piano"!

Fail everything to do with school you get
Stop eating
Stop sleeping
Talk in a monotone voice
Do not drink water

Same kinda goes for me since I play the flute. Except I spend more time on my computer. (XD, I practice flute for 15 to 20 minutes a day.)
