My Story:
The first time I played civ2 back in grade 8, it catapulted me into a love for history and all things to do with scholarly achievement. My grades went from D's to A's as I entered high school, and i quickly became the top of my class. All the while, I was spending about 4 hours a day playing the game that had inspired this change.
This was great for high school (because it was easy and required little work), but as I entered university, I found myself in a whole new world. Deciding to pursue pharmacy as a premed degree, I did fairly well the first year, managing to almost match my preformance in high school. But then the worst happened.
Civ 3 came out.
Oh man... did that suck. Countless hours and hours of gameplay forced me to withdraw from many social clubs I had joined in first year and for the first time, civ had started to had a negative effect on my grades. Was I playing too much? no I had actually cut down to maybe 6 hours a week. The problem was the amount of study time I would devote to drawing out maps of my games, envisioning troop movements from Babylon to Nineveh, and deciding on alliances with the Vikings. Instead of studying, I was playing out my games in my head.
Well, I managed to still squeak through pharmacy and my dreams of entering medicine came true this September. But now another foul beast lurks just around the corner. Can I control the monster that will undoubtably grow inside of me? will this one passion of my life destroy all the others? How will my girlfriend respond when I scream out the name "Isabella!" in bed? Am I going crazy?
