The Little Box in the Living Room

I am a major TV junkie.  Ever since I was little, my mom, sister, and I have gathered around the TV to watch our favorite shows together.  Between the three of us, we watch just about every show on air and quite a few that have ended.  My love for TV has grown so much over the years that I have decided to make it the center of my career.  My goal is to work in the Public Relations department for NBC.  Now that Christmas break is over, all of my favorite shows are starting to come back from hiatus.  So what?  At the start of my TV-catch-up marathon it may not seem like a huge time sucker, but by the end of my run, a whole day has been wasted.  My shows are not something I'm giving up.  All my friends come to me with questions about last night's episode or the celebrities that star in them.  It's kind of my thing.  However, I don't have days that can just be wasted on TV.  Now what?  With the start of a new semester, I don't have time to spend *cough cough* 7 hours on some days watching shows.  I need to be better about managing my time so that I can do well in my classes as well as enjoy my favorite pastime.  In order to do this, I will limit my shows until after my homework and other responsibilities are done.  Hopefully, by following this rule, I will be able to have the best of both worlds.
