......But It's So FUN!!!!

I have finally gone around the deep end, as far as “my generation” is concerned. After typing some rather snarky little comments on a social networking site that were greatly amusing to my sleep-deprived geeky mind, I suddenly had something of an epiphany. I love homework.

I suppose that I should have seen it coming. After all, since this school year of 2010 started, I have been taking a bizarre sort of pleasure in completing my pre-calculus homework. “No,” I told myself, “Surely this is some sort of bizarre coincidence! Surely I haven’t removed myself so far from the “normality” of “my generation” that I actually LIKE doing pre-calculus!” Unfortunately, that was only the beginning……

I was up late, completing some essays for English, when I suddenly realized that I did not want to stop. Yes, that’s right, I wanted MORE! I wanted to type and type and type until the stupid chickens next door started crowing and the sun came up and I was shivering from the cold and lack of sleep, with tousled hair and blood-shot EYES! But of course, It was already about two or three o’clock in the morning, and I hadn’t had that much sleep in the past week. So instead I passed out on my floor and slept for a few hours. But wait! THERE’S MORE!!!!

I was, once again, up late at night (or early in the morning, if you prefer), when I got an overwhelming urge to read my chemistry book. So I read seventy-seven pages. I learned all about Democritus and John Dalton, cathodes, anodes, the law of equal proportions, the law of multiple proportions, the 110 discovered elements on the periodic table, the lack of mass in light and gamma rays, quantum energy levels, etc. IT WAS FUN!!!

Next thing you know, I’ll be reading ALL my textbooks for fun. BUT WAIT! I already do that!
