The Relational Operator

I could be putting a good lot of effort into my homework at the moment, but I feel quite determined to make today's post of a certain standard, a good one at that.

Which makes me wonder why I don't feel the same determination with some other things (i.e. homework). I could spend 45 minutes lingering over a blog post, but I couldn't take up that amount of time to plan an English essay. I just spent five minutes carefully biting the nails on my left hand (gross habit, I know, I know); I bit them so they wouldn't come off in bits, but a straight piece (sorry, you didn't need to know that). I wouldn't even take that much care with expanding quadratics.

So, am I like the majority of people? The people who care, but don't, really? I wouldn't like to think so, then I berate myself for assuming what the majority of people are like. I mean, some people really do enjoy doing maths, or writing essays. My brain has just been brainwashed with the idea of:

homework = boring

homework ≠ fun

homework > my brain capacity

homework ≥ some exaggerated form of hell

homework ≤ a pile of dirt

Is it possible to reverse all these years of brainwashing? I don't really know, but I might go and start on that essay, now.
