Forever Alone by oldtopman
This game was manufactured for the contest. My history of struggles can be found on my twitter account. Fixed the college bug, and so this is the final build!

P.S. A big shout-out to FineCraft (on AfterNet) for help with debugging, #love (on freenode) for their expertise with the engine, and anyone else who I forgot to thank.

P.S. Thanks for encouraging me to finish my own game.
A few pointers though:
- Make your mind about the PoV of the game "I study for one hour" x "you take a shower"
- There is no feedback about the effectiveness (or lack of) each action (other than the instant game overs). How efficient was my study? What did I program? Am I tired?
- I spent the entire week without sleeping once :-P
As to the game itself I feel like it could have used a bit more detail in what your actions are for / what you're doing. (What was I studying? Was I getting tired? How was I doing in my classes?) Just some randomized flavor text for each of the options would be nice, and maybe an ascii representation of a wall clock or something would have helped keep straight what time it was.
