It's not hard. Just choose to do your schoolwork BEFORE you have fun reading your lisp book. Then you can truly enjoy reading it because you know the b.s. schoolwork is done for the day.

Here is your new mantra: "What is the most PAINFUL thing I have on my list of to-do's?"

Figure that out every hour or so, and go get it done.

(It helps to realize that four or five years is a really short time. I know it doesn't feel that way when it is like 25% of your current lifespan, but really.. it will be over before you know it. And what's more - you'll actually get to enjoy it because you're not flunking out.)
