She took my book away
it’s like i’m in gradeschool again, although i’m sure it’s because of my gradeschool actions that she did this. I was supposed to be doing homework (mind you I’m in college) but it’s lame homework, no challenge to it at all. It’s mindless, and yes, I realize that it equates to an easy ‘A’ but I hate mindless work. In the 2nd grade I don’t know how long I went without doing homework but when my teacher contacted my parents I had a 3 inch high stack of worksheets to do. In the fifth grade, history repeated itself. The difference was in the 2nd grade I simply got grounded (couldn’t have been for long as I really don’t recall the punishment), in the 5th grade, they took my gameboy, told me I couldn’t go on my hot air balloon ride, and grounded me for like a week (not to mention I had to do the homework). I must have been ok in middle school and high school as nothing sticks out in my mind concerning homework.
Tonight however, I was supposed to be doing homework, but was I, no (for reasons previously explained). I was reading instead. I love the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evonovich, I can’t put them down. They’re just too good. So I had my feet up on my desk and was reclined in my chair when my mom came in (for the second time this evening) to make sure I was doing homework (that was actually due at noon today, but I didn’t feel like looking at my error for another moment, it was a damn space for gosh sakes, one that I’d had since Saturday). Well, I wasn’t doing my homework. I was reading, and she actually took my book away (almost before I could bookmark it) and told me I could have it back when I was done with my homework…
That action however, wasn’t quite enough to make me want to do my homework because it was about an hour later before I actually finished what would’ve taken me all of 15 minutes…
