So I stayed home from school sick today. I started doing homework at 2, for my AP U.S. History class. I finished it at 12:45(I had dinner and took short breaks, but not over 1 hour). It is 24 pages long, 1.5 spaced. Did you all have to do crap that took this long in high school?
-I realize I made high school one work in the title. I've been working for a while. Give me a break lol-

No but for one of my last classes for my bachelors I had to do a sixty page paper on terrorism. It took me 3 months to work on. Thats something to look forward too.

I can't wait! I actually wouldn't mind doing something terrorism...
What did you major in?

Political science. I'm waiting to hear back from law schools. Fingers are crossed my friend.

Ah, the joys of having dropped out of school!

Lol you dropped out? I think I may actually get shot by my parents if I did that.

I know I wouldn't have gotten shot. Had I survived the first round of shooting I would have been shot again.

All I got was a spanking....

How old were you when you dropped out that your parents could still catch you to give you a spanking?

Third grade: The best 5 years of my life!

Nah, I was joking about the spanking.... not when I was fifteen years old!

In my experience, the higher up you go in your education, the amount of "busy-work" and "easy-but-time-consuming" activities diminish significantly. However, the "difficulty" and "depth level" of the work increases dramatically. For example, a Ph.D. Student has much less busy-work, but much more difficult and in-depth work to do than a High School Student.

Therefore, should OP continue his education, he could look forward to less busy-work but more difficult work in the future. :p

Whaaaat? I have to start thinking instead of doing brainless work for hours on end? Well it might be refreshing. I am taking Poly Sci, Sociology, Physics, and Psych next year....I'm hoping that those all get me thinking more....

I'll keep mine crossed for you as well. :)

Hahahhahahaha... yeah, you'll have to start "thinking"... But don't think that LESS busy-work will give you MORE time! Non-busy-work will probably take up the same amount of time, if not more (depending on the field you go into, how interesting your cl$#%@$#%@$#%@es are to you, and how well you want to do in your cl$#%@$#%@$#%@es). Just be prepared to use that brain of yours soon and you should be fine... :p


EDIT: cl$#%@$#%@$#%@es = cla-sses (without the hyphen). Word filter (again).

The more you use your brain, the more exercise your brain gets, the better your brain works, the more you can use your brain, etc. etc.

I once heard that most people only use 10 percent of their brainpower.
