The life of a gamer can be a fun and hard life to live. You have the duties of trying to be the best at every game you play, and you also have to try to maintain your marks in school so your parents keep letting you play the games. Many people find being a gamer/student is really hard. In some cases I find it the most stressfull occupation I have and sometimes the best occupation.

    Every single day for probally the last 4 years the first thing I do every morning is turn on my computer. Then like most people I would check my email first and see whats happening in the news. Every weekday I start school at 9am and I finish at 3:30pm, when I come home I have to eat, do my homework and at times work on my projects and study for tests. My marks right now in school are averaging at an 82% (thats an A in Canada for all you American Gamespotters).

    Lots of people ask me (and I mean a lot) how I maintain such A high average and still maintain to get a lot of gaming time on my 360 and PC everyweek. Well guys ill tell you my secret, I pay 100% attention in class so I can reduce my studying time. If I pay attention in class I have a higher chance of remembering the information and using it for tests, thus cutting down my studying time. Ill be honest with everyone at gamespot, I dont study much nor do I do my homework. The only times I will study is when I have a big test coming up, I study and my motto is "If I know it I pass, If I dont Then I dont". For every gamer/student out there who wants to maintain high marks I personally say start doing these:
1. Pay 100% Attention In Class
2. Study when you have a test coming up *Try to study right when you get home for around 3hours so you get more gaming time in*
3. All the homework that you know the teacher will count for marks do it!!
4. Remember, Take a break and play some games, it will refresh your mind *tetris is good for this*.

    A lot of school in North American society make fun of gamers, they call us "geeks". Well guys, ill tell you somthing the word "geek" should be a complament to every gamer out there. As long as you maintain a pretty good social life, and get to play all the games you want to play and try to become best in them then the people calling you a "geek" are the noobs. I am guessing around 80% of kids in North America...no sorry make that around 99.9999% of kids AND MANY adults have tried and play a video game on a regular basis. Heck..Even 3 teachers of mine play games *Wii and 360*.

Anyway guys, This was just a blog to talk about gaming and life, i'm sure a lot of you will relate to the blog. Please leave comments and ill be sure to read your blogs :)
