Having homework always stinks.  Many people always think of it as useless and not fun.  Yes, it can be boring but it does help you learn.  If you don't do your homework you will not be as prepared in class.  When you do your homework, you take your learning experience to another level.  Make sure your homework is fully done though.  Some people complete their homework, but "complete" can be writing down anything on a piece of paper.  You have to understand what you are actually writing down, that's how you learn.  If you don't want to learn, you won't, it's as simple as that.  I am very good on doing my homework.  Tests are my weakness and hw usually brings my grade up.  If it wasn't for hw my grade point average would have dropped significantly.  In reality I believe doing work at home is a great thing, as long as you don't receive an extensive amount of it.  I know friends who attend St. John's and they have nothing better to do than hw.  Their teachers pound them, day after day, with hw.  To me, that is too much.  Of coarse you have to put aside time at home to get your work done, but you also have to have a regular life.  Many people who are book smart are not to "smart" in the real world.  You have to receive two different perspectives of life and how to live it.  One example of that is, if  you have had many jobs in the past, possibly you are learned much more than if you sat home like a couch potato.  You have to get out and explore the world too.  Homework is super important but you have to know when it's the right time to put your face into a book.
