I don't believe you're lazy, Cliff. Not at all! I do believe some things should be easy some times but sadly that is just a dream.
Do the homework, study hard, get a good job and hope for the best. One step at a time. Best your generation can do at the moment.
My kids are at uni in England (2nd year) and keep reminding us parents that a 1st is really hard to get and we should be happy with an Upper 2nd. So we say, fine, give your very, very best and if all you can manage is a 3rd, fine. We'll still love you and help you but just do your best.
Sorry Cliff, just had to do the mother thing now that the girls are preparing for exams in two weeks.
Hang in there!!! And eat lots of pizza. And pie. And chocolate.
