Why is it harder to get out of bed when you've had a great nights sleep, than when you've had a crappy or even so so nights sleep?

Wright vs Wrong

I have always liked math infinitely better than English. Give me a math assignment, great. no sweat. Give me a writing assignment and there will be weeping, wailing, and definitely gnashing of teeth. I've come to the following conclusions...

In MATH  there is a definite wright (wha wha) and wrong. There is no in between, there is no grey area. You either get it or you don't. Math never changes.
WRITING on the other hand... urg where do I start... Writing IS very subjective. There is no right and wrong, there is no formula to memorize, there is WAY too much grey area, and there is WAY too much deviation from teacher to teacher.  What is an A worthy paper in one class is quite possibly a D or C in another.
MATH: 2+2=4 every single time.
ENGLISH: 2+2=4 except after C then it = 5, but not always, and sometimes it could be 6 depending on which teacher you have.

On another note, it really bites spending hours on a paper and having it thrown back in your face. Sometimes I feel like college is the equivalent to self flagellation. Why oh why do we do this to ourselves, and PAY for it!?
