Digital Homework

Well, my first day of classes were Monday, July 1st,  and they got over in the evening, the following day I had a wedding to attend see picture below:
Then I figured a visit to my youngest was in order, spent the night over at her dorm and then home right in time for the 4th of July!  Well, before you knew it, Friday was here and I started thinking I should look into doing my homework.  So, that is what I did.  Looked.  Into.  It.  Decided against it and goofed off the rest of the day.  Saturday, well, pressure is on, homework is due Sunday, at midnight.  Kinda unclear on whose midnight though, I am told that the blackboard is in a different time zone, so while I may want to wait until Sunday midnight Hawaiian time to turn in my homework, blackboard programming could mark me 5 hours late, due to them being 5 hours into the future.....well, anyway, I am a procrastinator, definitely I would put myself in that category, but I am a overzealous one.  Meaning, I am so eager to procrastinate that sometimes I get ahead of myself and get done ahead of schedule.  So, Saturday seemed like a good day to start.  The only thing I really had homework for was Old Testament History, so I logged onto Blackboard for the questions.  150 words on one of 5 Patriarch figures from Genesis, telling either their positives or their negatives and how we could learn from them.  Then a 100 word blog posted on blackboard discussing the significant points in our reading.  I started reading the Bible in book form and that was putting me to sleep, so I figured, why fight it?  I took a nap.  When I woke up, I started reading the Bible on the computer, and somehow, this was faster.  After I had read enough to substantiate 150 words on Joseph, I posted my "thread" on blackboard.  Then I blogged for another few minutes and homework was out of the way.
Overall, I feel good about my digital on-line homework experience.  No trees were cut down or harmed in any way, so I feel this is definitely a plus.  I do not have a back up generator, and if the GI Bill doesn't kick in soon, I may not be able to pay my light bill, this may be my only excuse to get out of homework, I guess the age old excuse, "the dog ate my homework," no longer applies.
