I spend too much time making Video Games

Hmm… I think I spend too much time making games…

Heres a little background info:

>> I'm in year/grade 10

>> Untill this year, I have neve failed a maths exam

>> Until this year, I have never got below a B+ (or A-, I can't remember)

Now I've had two maths exams this year, the first one, I got a C+. I was like… ok then, sorta a little bit worse than normal but I still got an a in my assignment so I was still happy.

Now for our "end of semester" exam (remember I live in Australia so its mid-year exams for me), I GOT A D+!!! Now dats like really bad, and now, I've failed a maths exam!

Luckily for me by the time I had to tell her my result coz my report card was coming in… she was leaving for Sydney in 2 hours and still had to finish packing so I was safe… She hasn't come back yet though.

So this year is the first time I've failed or even got below a B+ in a maths exam… end of last year is when I started using Game Maker… DULP!

Conclusion… Game Maker steals your study time! :@

GM doesn't steal your study time. You steal your own study time. If you can't control how much time are you using it, it means you can't control yourself.

Definitely. I agree with gml_josea. The fault lies with yourself. Don't place the blame on some tool.

I GM a lot and still get good marks, my advise, learn to cram and always pay attention while your at school.

Just learn to spend your time wisely. For a few months I was like that, not doing well because I wasn't working enough, but now I spread out my time a bit more.

You don't need school, all you need is GM & GM needs you~ Do what it commands…. lol

Never studied for anything, ever. Still get A's and B+'s.

The moral: You just suck at this year's Math course.. :P

@mixahman: lol. enough said.

@Vance Kimiyoshi: thanks my problem, I never had studied, and this year everything got suddenly harder and we got a **** maths teacher.

Oh wellz, I'll live.

I think the contrary happened with me. I used to suck at math, and when I started using Game Maker I got much better. I'm in honors math now, which probably wouldn't have happened without Game Maker. You just have to manage your time right.

Same here. Whenever I do study, I get lower scores.

I never used to study, but read ^up^ and you'll see why I have to this year.
