Your kidding me right?  This is a major problem?  Take the others advice and use the extra time constructively.  I didnt think about NASCAR in high school.  My excitement for the sport wouldnt come on until Friday when I would come home from school and watch qualifying.  I never once let NASCAR interfer with the more important things in life, such as getting an education.  Like Bob said, if this is the one major problem you have in life, kuddos. 

I crushed my finger off and did severe nerve damage to the left side of my body then went through a year long workers comp battle in court when I wasnt paid and my wife and I didnt have enough money to eat, we paid for a loaf of bread and peanut butter with pennies and then we found out she was pregnant so i stopped eating breakfast and lunch every day so she could have more food. Then our car's starter went out and we walked everywhere...then things turned around and life is spectacular and we have a beautiful healthy daughter, a beautiful home, all the things we could ever want, so just remember life will get worse before it gets better. Open those books up though bro, I have a college degree now and its practically gold in a picture frame on my wall, no limit to what you can do with one of those.

Thanks everyone, it did help.  Mark's story especially helpped!
