Normally, I find myself getting over it about the last day of the semester when I can dump all the crap I had to learn that I will never use again, but still some stuffy fellow or lady somewhere decided it was good stuff for the program, people needed to know it to be successful. Yay, right. Most of the times it is only in their dreams and in their pasts where what they are requiring to be a part of a given degree path is really relevant. Seriously drives me nuts. And yes, you guessed it by sitting here typing to you about how annoying it is I am procrastinating, putting it off and basically trying to ignore it as long as I can. I know that is a pain when I am rushing at the last minute to finish things, but, heck, I still do it. Only for so long though, cause I really don’t want to be stuck doing it again next semester. Speaking of which I am kind of down to the wire here, so time to go put something together fairly quick.

Homework, itself is not really bad. I think the term has negative connotations though, bad vibes from when we were in school and homework was a thing of horror and evil that cut into our time to play and our, our time. Really, after spending hours in school not being able to be kids we were then supposed to spend time at home doing stuff that did at school. It was truly just another form of torture we had to suffer through for some unknown reason. After school I was not interested in doing any homework, who would have been? You are a kid, you want to get your play time in before you have to go to school. All through school it never really got better, there was always something that would be better to be doing. Especially in college when you had to take certain classes where you already knew the stuff but you still were required to take them because some anonymous a-hole had decided it was required for the degree and it didn’t matter if you could teach it better than the instructor you still had to sit through it so they could make a little check on a piece of paper and feel important. Yes, I am a bit bitter about the whole school thing.

Keep in mind though that I love learning and when doing homework that is of my making or that just makes sense I have absolutely no problem with it. If you are doing what you want, it makes all the difference, right? After a while you get to the point where you just put up with any homework because you realize that it is just step on the way to whatever goal you are trying to achieve. That homework in school when you had no choice about going, that’s torture though.
