Chad,
While you may be able to get by with that attitude in school now, it's not going to do very well for you when you get to collage or enter the workplace. Now is the time create and learn good work habits. You are no different than just about everybody else on RCU in that we would all much rather spend time thinking and playing with our planes, but where the difference is that most of us know that school/work has to get done first. After that, then we get to play.

I spend a lot of time here on RCU during the day, but it's not something that I just started doing. I've spent the last 10 years building my company to the point that I can stay home some days instead of the being at the office. But you should have seen me during the first couple of years where I was in the office until 2-3 AM every night working, and then back in at 9 am when the doors open for business. But now I don't have to do that anymore, and in a few more years I reap my ultimate reward. Which is partial retirement when I'm 50, and then I'll have plenty of time to spend playing with my airplanes.

Yes I know that I sound like a parent. Well, I've got some practice at it. I have a 13 year old son of my own, so these are well practiced speeches!!!
