Last night (Saturday) I was sitting on my bed doing my Interest Theory homework and Nick (my roommate) walked in and said "you do too much homework". I laughed a bit, because I didn't really think I was doing homework: it was fun! Homework should be drudgery. Boring, unbearable and taxing. But not mathmatics homework... oh no. On Friday I did 2 hours of Calculus homework (even though, to my extreme dismay, we have yet to do any Calculus yet!), and it was by far the highlight of my day.
Some might say that I'm weird, but I have Aristotle on my side:
Hence, ... those arts were discovered which had to do neither with pleasure nor with necessities, and this happened first in those places where men had leisure. That is why it was in Egypt that the mathematical sciences were first developed, for there leisure was available to the priestly caste.
