intellectual history

I loved reading in grade school. Sometimes I would read encyclopedias hoping that I would learn something useful. I grew out of that phase and probably slacked off a bit too much throughout junior high and high school. However, some teachers still left an imprint on me. My favorite high school teacher was Russ Mayo. I spent more time in Russ' class cooking hamburgers and hot dogs than learning about video editing, which is what he was supposed to teach us. I can now cook a perfect hamburger with so little smoke that our fire was undetectable to anyone else on campus.

My goal for college is to not get bogged down with homework because of procrastination. I know it sounds trite but I really need to work on this and I promise I'll change this time... I have a plan. Right after I get done with my classes for the day I'm going to do my homework. What a novel idea! I'm pretty sure it will work because I've been told since I was a small child that I'm supposed to do my homework before I have fun. Its amazing that it takes me years and years to learn the same simple lesson.

  1. I totally agree with that goal! That's exactly what I need to do. I keep ignoring homework, and it keeps just piling up...
