Ever feel at some points that your motivation and inspiration have completely abandoned you in terms of work ethic? That basically summarizes my entire semester thus far (just in case you were wondering why I only have 15 blog posts the day before 25 are due...). The worst part about this feeling is that I can't even pinpoint a specific source, or why I should be feeling this way. Is is due to a longer summer than I'm used to? Or is it my incessant desire to transfer that makes me want to contribute nothing to this school? Either way, I'm concerning myself with my lack of effort in all fields of work lately.
Now, I know one possible scapegoat I can direct my laziness towards would be the absolute absence of written work I've received thus far this semester as opposed to the abundance of it last semester. I know my style of learning was all about meeting requirements and putting in effort to get good grades, but when there's nothing expected of me but to read things on my own time and for my own good, what reason do I have to do it? I've been blowing it all off, promising myself I'll get to it before exams, and then panicking when I don't have it done. One of the reasons I appreciate this class so much is that I get tangible things to work on as to keep me attentive and up to date on where I should be in class. I could go on blaming my teachers and classes...or I could suck it up and get realistic in learning to adapt to the different style of assignments for this semester. Second one definitely seems more practical.
