Alex,
I don't see how my goal is an ill-formed one. Why not get through my schoolwork faster? Are you suggesting that if my goal is to get through my work faster, then I must be in the wrong field of study? I enjoy what I do, but it takes several hours to do it in, and I consistently find myself backed into corners and deadlines. My grades are showing a marked decline, though I've worked harder this last semester (I'd like to believe so, anyway) than ever before. I don't see how this purpose is worse than "doing more pleasure reading". Pleasure reading is expendable. Should I change it to "I want to sleep at night"?
I'm sorry if my post souds irritated, but I'm just frustrated. I have free time to kill before summer ends and I'm just looking for different ways to play with the system.
