inter-semester holiday - time to work?

So my last lecture was last Thursday. That means I get over 2 months of holiday, ending early April. A lot of time, I told myself beforehand. Surely I can finish a lot of work!
Here's what I've done so far:
- Played quite some Dota 2
- Finished my first run of The Cave
- Finished DmC - Devil May Cry, which was surprisingly good, I'll likely give it another go at Son of Sparda Difficulty
And here's what I had planned to do:
- None of the above (with the possible exception of DmC)
- Write a Blender Plugin for a friend
- Improve my Blender Ghoul 2 Plugin
- Write documentation for my Blender Plugins
- Update my Python Bindings of the Sixense SDK to Python 3.3
- Write a game for Uni (I missed the deadline for the previous one, but since I had hardly that wasn't so bad and I like the new task better anyway)
- Learn for the exams (the first ones will be next Thursday and Friday, I should get going)
- Finish Reverse Engineering Flatout 2's level format so custom maps are possible - a friend of mine will join me after the exams
- Help iojamp
- Finish Spirits of the Sith
- Write that Turn-Based FPS I originally wanted to do for 7DFPS - but do it as a Source Mod (that is, using the Source Engine)
In conclusion: I'm still a lazy bum. Woe is me! On the bright side, I now have an idea why I don't do this stuff I actually kinda like. It's probably because there's no (immediate) reward and/or because I'm too impulsive, surfing or playing Dota instead. (Compare How To Beat Procrastination.)
On the bright side the holiday is far from over, so I might still get some of this done. I'll have all the time in the world since my application for a job at Daedalic got rejected - they don't want working students. Oh, and I haven't coded anything for One Game A Month so far, so it looks like I'll fail that as well.
