Wade through, indulge in

Hi,

If I have very difficult homework to do and I spend hours trying to complete it, can I use the word 'wade through'?

"I just spent hours wading through my biology homework."

2) Can you indulge in doing something or only indulge in something?

"I indulged in reading a book indstead of studying for the maths exam."

Thank you.

"Wade through" would be used if the homework was long, tedious, and complex - challenging, but not unusually difficult. " You indulge in something, not in doing it. And that something is typically something pleasurable - a treat for yourself after doing something difficult.

"Wade through" would be used if the homework was long, tedious, and complex - challenging, but not unusually difficult. Very difficult homework would be "struggled with": "I spent hours struggling with this homework assignment."
