Hard to say what you really mean OP, but I think the answer is in the 4th semester, when I stopped playing Magic the Gathering (played it more or less seriously, flew to places like Netherlands or Italy for Grand Prix' etc.).
That's when I started to care, and when I started to read mathematics textbooks that were entirely unrelated to what I'd ever learn in university lectures in my program.
