Arrgh. I'm a pirate. And i hate homework.

My definition of homework is...work that builds character.

I remember reading through Calvin and Hobbes pretty much everyday of my youth (but really, it is the best strip ever made...), and one thing that sticks out in my mind I the father's excuse for the plethora of chores he forced upon Calvin. "It builds character." This can be directly related to the homework that is forced upon us as students. Sure, it can be of some relevence to my growth in intelect, but overall I believe it pertains more to my foundation of character.

As for me, personally, I dislike homework. It prevents me from "nick time," which consists of sleeping and getting nicknames (State Champion Nick Wrightson....am I right?). I just consider that normal. I do, however, realize that i will have to eventually raise a family and therefore need to be successful. Homework is a part of life today, and if you do not like that, then you need to get over it. It builds character.

ps- I have no idea why my topic talks about pirates. But hey, just go with it. I think I'm still in a food coma from yesterday (Thanksgiving...).
