Surf’s Up, Hawaii! …or not. How much I despise “break homework”

So yeah, I have to say I’ve had one of the most enjoyable Spring Break vacations I’ve ever had. While I know many a soul had a terrible break, I try not to dampen their already grief-sodden spirits. It’s just very unfortunate that teachers decide to put a bulk of work on students’ shoulders while students try desperately to get the ADD monster out of their systems so that by the time school comes, there’s nothing to worry about. “Break” isn’t break anymore. It’s “a few days off from school where you’ll have some time on your hands so here’s a bunch of work for you to do!” I understand it’s supposed to keep our minds stimulated, but really, if it’s more beneficial for us to stay active and go out during break, then surely, it would be wiser to assign us something like, I don’t know, going to Rex Plex or something. Seriously!

But maybe what bothers me most is how, this entire week, I was out being active, doing things outside, having a good time. Hell, I learned how to surf in Hawaii, dude! Then, I went to start doing homework, and look what happened: I wrote a post on TPOT, did a bunch of forms for The Awakening Project, spent time on Facebook, AIM, and what’s worse: I cleaned my room instead of doing homework. Now, maybe if the homework was something less chair-binding, I’d be out doing it. Especially if it’s research, I mean, you’re just ASKING me to procrastinate on all of my work.

Alright I better stop now. I’m making matters worse for myself, homework-wise. Haha. Peace homes.
