Righto. Can we please post suggestions for alleviating boredom here? Be it books, TV, movies or internet. Also, please leave your IM contacts here for anyone that's interested.

Not many suggestions here though. I'm bored silly.

Haha, my teachers complained about my daydreaming from the start. It probably says a lot about why I'm bored actually.

How did you go about learning it Jp? Books, tutorials or yourself? I was considering learning it in a college next year, but if you have any pointers I would be grateful. I have plenty of interests, but I'm just never motivated enough to start or complete things. I usually leave the learning to assignments and the dreams just never happen.

Take some part-time courses at your local college/university. Just about anything from software (spreadsheets, programming) to wine-tasting is available.

I hardly ever run out of things to do, but get frustrated by a dearth of people to do things with, so courses solve several problems - and there's plenty of homework.

Well my to do list now reads:

1. Overcome fear of walking dog during day
2. Try ceramics again
3. Learn more 3D
4. Watch 'Kill me Later'
.
.
.
5. Get a job

Well I can just guess at how quickly these are going to get done.
