Where, oh where is my motivation?

[autumnpalm]

I have three finals this week, none of which I am prepared for. I also have two papers due and one presentation.

Presently, I am sitting in bed, watching Jersey Shore online (thanks to the DIS), still wearing my pajamas.

I have a stack of textbooks sitting beside me but I cannot seem to close the lid on my laptop, reach over and open the cover of a book. I have good intentions!! I do have Microsoft Word open right now, cursor blinking, just ready to start taking some brilliant notes...

But instead of getting started, I am typing this post on the DIS instead.

Please tell me I am not the only one in a perpetual state of procrastination!!! I know there must be other DISers out there with tons to do but who can't seem to close their Safari/Firefox/IE/whatever browser. I need someone to come click the mouse on that little red "x" circle for me.

Ugh I feel that way too, but let's put it this way, every hour you get some work done, you earn that hour to laze off during Break.

I feel you. I have to take my surgery shelf in 2 weeks, which most people will say is plenty of time to prepare, but during the week, I leave my house at 5 am, come home around 7, eat dinner, and asleep by 8, so there isn't much time to study. So I am supposedly using the weekends to prepare by reading some high yield topics, and do questions. I have the book opened, and I have the website that I use for questions open, but I just can't seem to log in. All I want to do is curl up and drink hot chocolate.

I hear you. It is finals week, too, but luckily I had more projects and non-cummulative tests this semster than annything else. I do have a portfolio due tomorrow (need to print, compile stuff, write a reflection, etc.). I also have a review at work today, need to go to the store and pick up a few sale items for the dcs, and shower. I really don't feel like showering (which I could get away with if I didn't have to go to work). I also need to start packing.
Good luck. Now you've started a thread and will have to check back many times to see all the posts!

That's me pretty much everyday

I have a bio lab test tomorrow and a stats test tomorrow...both of which if I don't do good, then I pretty much fail the class for the quarter
I should start studying, but I just can't seem to...

So true! I should have just kept my big mouth shut! What can I say though, misery loves company!

I did just eat lunch and finish one of the suggested essay questions for my exam. I have 12 "suggested" essay questions and 5 will be on the exam. 11 more to go!

I may start posting progress reports every hour or two to keep me accountable. My next goal: 1 more essay question and 1 chapter read from the textbook.

We'll see...

Sending out lots of hard work and determination vibes to everyone out there trying to accomplish something today!

I am definitely right there with you! I always get to the point where there is so much workt o be done, I don't know where to start, and then I never start! lol! I suppose I should stop typing and watching movies and finish one of my paper.....maybe!

Watching Jersey Shore should be your inspiration!! Do you really want to end up like those people?

I am having the same problem, only I have a massive headache and its making it hard to study Accounting =(.

I put on some uplifting music with the lyrics "Are you always who you said you would be? Always waiting on someone else to fix you..." And that is getting my butt in gear. I may go to the library and that will force me!

Good luck!

So true!

Well there we go, who knew my inspirational tool was waiting in the form of an MTV reality show?

I just woke up from a nap so my afternoon hasn't been so productive, but now I am recharged and ready for the evening!

I finished my two really big projects this weekend. I've been working on both of them for a month and a half. No motivation today to work on the paper and project that are both due on the 15th. Oh well. I'll probably read the play for the project tonight and start working on the analysis.

 

[KandD]

Your motivation and my motivation must be together having a glass of wine! I plugged in my computer with the intent of working on a paper...I think that was about 45 minutes ago at this point!

Whew, at least I can comfort myself with the fact that I don't have any math to study.

Well, I just finished my portfolio and am making chocolate chip cookies to bring to class. I did take my shower and even went wild and shaved my legs! Hopefully, my productivity provide you some inspiration! BTW, what kind of dog is that in your avatar?

 

[PebblesMK]

I'm only motivated to stay home from class tomorrow. There is a rumor of snow so that's good enough for me. I could use the study time, all other hours of my day are consumed with my one year old niece. Not so easy to study with her around.

I know I am really feeling ambitious when I shave my legs!

She's a Golden Doodle, and was about 4 months old when that picture was taken. She's now almost 7 months and just the sweetest dog ever. I love her to pieces! She's a mid-sized doodle though, so she's 25% golden retriever and 75% poodle.

I am almost done my paper! But seeing as it's past 2:30 in the morning, I am finally heading to bed.

Long day at the library tomorrow but I'm ready for it. Just need lots of coffee!!
