The buzz that I had in the beginning of the term has officially worn off.
I began this term with such a strong attitude, and I was so on top of things. Now I'm lucky if I can find my binder in the morning before class. I've totally slacked off on my reading, too. That's not good, especially for an English major. My organization system went from total order to "cram everything in my backpack and sort it out never." I've made a list, and I have 2 essays, 2 quizzes, one final, and the web site left. That's the whole rest of the term before I can rejoice in spring break. The problem is that I think my mind is already on break, or at least it's acting that way. Even my blogs have taken slower paths. I'm starting my 3 for the week on Tuesday night.
This whole weekend is being spent getting a head start on the close of the term. I'm gonna write one essay and polish off the web site, in addition to catching up on readings. It's a very well needed weekend of work. I'm actually a little excited. I usually love getting things done and being productive, so I think it'll help bring me out of this lazy haze.
The same thing happens to me almost every term. About 2/3 of the way through the excitement is lost and i start slacking off or finding other, more interesting things, to fill my time. After 11 terms in college i have still not found a way to avoid this phenomenon. Actually i have written it in my calender early i the term so that i get as much done before this date when possible. No matter, now that the slump in on us, best of luck.
ReplyDeleteI always swear to myself that I will read all the required texts and start my term papers as soon as they are assigned, yet every term repeats itself: deadweek, a freight train charging me down bearing a seemingly insurmountable load of work entirely the consequence of my procrastination .
