Pudge, you will always be faced with choices to make with your time. It is very mature and intelligent of you to realize that you have allowed a game to get in the way of doing things you need to get done like studying etc. As a wise man once said: everything in moderation. It takes finding the balance between accomplishing whats needs to be done for school, having a social life and hanging with with your real life friends, and your family, and also enjoying things like video games. Make school and your studies your priority, then use your time to do what makes you happy. If you don't have every item in VMK etc you can still come on and enjoy the game. Take a break, then see if you can find a happy balance to be able to play without letting it get in your life's way. Good luck.
