I would be lying if I didn't tell you I BS most of my work. Instead of reading books, I read their summaries online via sites like sparknotes.com. Instead of planning my time and working through projects, reports, and essays at a steady pace, I do it all in one long night. The best part about that is that I'm not supposed to get away with it but I do. I get the same grades as the person who worked through the assignment the way it was supposed to be done. I suppose that's the way I exercise my mind. Not by learning the material, but by learning how to learn it without actually learning it.

The only thing I have yet to outsmart is math, there's no easy way around math homework. Even if you just take the answers from the back of the book, you still have to provide work on your paper to show you actually did something. And whether you care about it or not, it's still time consuming.

I can say with a smile that I finished my last math class ever last semester, unless I have to take one for some reason in graduate school.

well.

about the book reading thing, apparently my dad, back when he was younger {early 50's - 60's} would check out encyclopedia's by book, {A-B etc.} and apparently he thinks kids now-a-days still do that, even with things like the computer and playstations and gamecubes etc.

Well, he may be on to something there, I've never used a PlayStation or Gamecube as a research tool. I've only used those systems to escape my homework.
