Don't feel like doin' my homework!

I've got homework, and obviously don't feel like doing it! What do you do when you don't feel like doing something you should do?

Sometimes, I come here... :-`

(Oh, I also found a bunch of youtube videos that show how to play special piano pieces for praise and worship. Check out: "psalmos" on youtube..)

always something to "data-mine" on the Internet, when homework is looming.

So true, I can find all kind of interesting things on the internet when I have homework to do.

Sometimes I end up doing other work to keep from doing homework

I've been in school most of my life and probably will be taking a class for college credit the day I die. When I don't feel like doing homework that I need to do, I have a magic clock inside my head and determine the time up until which I can procrastinate and still be able to get it done on time. I take a nap, or watch TV, or waste time on the Internet, or clean house, or read a book.

What did you wind up doing today? I did homework from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm AKST. All done!

See, I just don't think I could live with that at this point! In high school, yes I could!

It is due tomorrow and I successfully avoided doing it last night by doing housework, yes Mole, I got that one figured out... but now, I have to go ahead and do it.

Tim what are you taking, and why are you taking so many classes?

I am taking couses for a Master of Science in Information Systems. This was a must-do for a career change. After this I want to get a master's in software engineering. But I also want to get degrees in economics, classical Greek, law, and political science, so I may be booked well into retirement.

Why? Because I've had enough education to know that my opinions in subjects in which I don't have degrees are basically worthless, and I'm interested enough in the subjects to want to think well about them.

What are you taking, and why? I'm interested to know what my "fellow students" are up to.

I'm just taking Early Childhood Education, working with children and hopefully the Lord will allow me to begin a Christ-centered preschool, someday.

I hope God will bless you in all you do. That is a lot of school! Have you read Ecclesiastes?

That is a good book to read.

That's great! You seem to have a good personality for that. I have a neice who is getting her degree in that, too. She loves it. Best wishes to you in your studies.

Thanks. Oh, yes: "Of the making of many books there is no end; much study is a weariness of the flesh." I like Ecclesiastes, but it's hard to know just how to take it. I was somewhat taken with Trempor Longman's commentary on it. His thesis was, if I recall, that it was bookended with what a person's attitude should be, and what is in the middle is what a person's attitude should not be.

In any case, I don't think many of us have a problem with reading too many books. We may watch too much TV instead. I think that reading, researching, and writing are great ways to occupy one's time. I'd rather continue learning and growing in knowledge throughout my life than to be a couch potato or even be involved in things that aren't as interesting to me.

Well, I have to agree, it is easy to waste one's free time on tv. We've also replaced most of our tv time with school, work and family time and we don't really miss it! I'm not really trying to give you a hard time. There are a lot worse things a person could do, I actually think that is wonderful.

About Ecclesiastes, I hope I didn't offend you... I was actually thinking of the overall theme: finding meaning and purpose in life. The book has come to mean a lot to me; I can easily go nowhere, but when I find the meaning I am really searching for, "under the Son" ..in Christ and in the fullness of the Spirit, He really settles me with joy.

Thanks for asking, I am excited too... there is absolutely no money in it! :lol:
