I knew the challenge would for the most part be cake. Last year I would go on Facebook or Tumblr while A (do) my homework. I would also go on YouTube for a lecture and get distracted by the sidebar, wasting an hour or two on random links. So I B (install) an app on my browser called Stayfocus. I C (give) myself 50 minutes a day for browsing and once those minutes D (be) up, the sites were blocked. My only distraction now E (be) instant messaging my friends about girls, classes and schoolwork.

For the challenge I F (choose) the Stayfocus option that G (let/neg.) me browse at all, and H (log/neg.) in to AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) until I was done with my homework. I I (come) home from band practice at 7 p.m. and napped for two hours before starting my homework. I got bored while working on my essay about Fidel Castro and I J (have) the urge to use AIM or check out videos on YouTube. However, I K (do) the challenge so I L (make) myself a sandwich and M (go) back to work. After I N (finish) my stuff, it was around 2 a.m. Not bad for a school night; I usually O (finish) around 3.

On Day 2, I P (go) home after band practice and woke up around 8. I Q (put) on my headphones and started my AP Spanish homework. It wasn’t hard staying off the Internet.[...]

On Day 3, I R (study) for my history test and S (do) my homework for my other classes. Occasionally I would wonder what my friends were up to and how they were doing. [...]

[...] I T (like) to have AIM open on my browser window to have a friend to talk to while I U (work). You can only focus so much before you get distracted. Taking breaks V (help) keep me refreshed.
