When I was in college I looked forward to the end of each semester with great expectation. It meant that the break wouldn't include homework and I would be free of the eternal cloud of a deadline.
When I graduated the euphoria of not having anymore homework EVER almost outshone the excitement of completing my degree. I begrudgingly took the mantle back upon myself when I got my masters degree, but I swore I was done with college and a doctorate was not in the cards.
It struck me today that despite the cathartic relief of not having homework anymore I had a developed a bad attitude regarding homework. There are a lot of areas that I need to do homework in in my life. Most of it isn't "assigned" by anyone, but is needed to succeed in what I am doing.
In any area you can think of spending time learning and practicing will make you better at it. Parenting, marriage, work, hobbies, and the list goes on.
I think my relationship with homework needs to change. I need to diligently assign and complete homework for all the classes of life. That is the only way I am going to continue to pass.
