Homework Assignments: Where do they go?

As a student, I get many homework assignments from reading, to worksheets, to completing problem sets in a text. I was wondering, where should these assignments go in my GTD system? I was thinking contexts for each subject, but that seems to over-complicate my contexts which the GTD book says to avoid. Then I thought just put them in one context, but then where do due dates go, and they get rather jumbled in one context. Some homework needs to get completed sooner than others, so it's a deadline. But most of my tasks are related to homework, so then I'm putting most of my next actions (homework) on my calendar. If anyone could point me in the right direction here, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
