Playing oboe is a good way to procrastinate
Gee, I never thought of it that way!

When I had a lot of maths studying to do last year, I would reward myself by practising oboe every time I finished two assignments. Worked great – I finally did my maths homework, and I practised a lot because I dind’t want to go back to maths 😉
I really LOVE this! (Although getting me to do any math at all would be … well … never mind. It just won’t happen!) 🙂
