When reviewing my previous rant, it became evident to me that it sounds like I am just going to BS and cheat on everything I do in school from now on and that is certainly not the case.
I have been blessed in the fact that most of my teachers don't really assign busy work, so there won't be too much to BS. However, what "500 Words a Day" was more about how I need to stop worrying so much about my work on assignments which I really don't care about. That doesn't mean I'll end all effort into such things, just that I won't be putting more time into an assignment that will take about 10 seconds to grade than my relationships with others, or my novel.
Again, I can't ever really love school, largely because it is a huge source of stress in my life as an understatement, but that doesn't mean I'll just BS every assignment, regardless of what it is, that comes my way. I'll put effort into the assignments; but, if they really are taking over all my waking time, I will not hesitate to do what I must to ensure mental safety, and cheating is therefore excluded, because, from a practical standpoint, that would incur guilt which would not be beneficial to my psyche. So, I'll still try my best to really pour effort into my work for all of my classes, but if it proves to be dangerous to me, I won't hesitate to do work that I used to consider below my standards, albeit, most likely earn the same grade.
