teleplace = time vortex

Our controversial issues group met face to face to work on our project and get our room set up. I've discovered that Teleplace is going to be a time vortex. We worked on our project during what would have normally been our class time last week. We started at 5:30 and worked until we were literally kicked out at 9:00, then did 20 minutes more of talking in the parking lot. Then, when I got home, I got onto teleplace again to do a little work. Around 11:00, Lee Ann came into our room in teleplace and we talked and worked a little. Then, at 11:30, she dismissed herself to go to bed. She was the smart one. I worked and fiddled until 1:30 am!!!!Am I crazy???? The bottom line is that I don't have a lot of bang for my buck in Teleplace. There is not enough actual measured progress to justify the amount of time spent. I must exercise self control, which means, for now, I am staying out of our room because I have too much other stuff to do. I don't need another time vortex.
