As I compile my vocabulary list, I pass by a lot of words that seem identical. For example, **“tedious”** and **“bored”**. I've researched the two words:

> 
> **[bored:](http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/bored)** feeling weary because one is unoccupied or lacks interest in one's current activity
> 
> 
> **[tedious:](http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/tedious)** too long, slow, or dull: tiresome or monotonous.
> 
> 
> 

Does that imply that **tedious** is doing something that I like (but the process is slow so I say it's a tedious task), but **bored** is when I do something that I don't like or have no interest in, for example doing homework for school?

Are these words identical or do they have subtle nuances? If there are differences, then when should I use each word?
