Burned out?
« on: October 27, 2011, 07:26:09 pm »

Before, I studied with motivation, eagerly, interested in what I was doing
Now, with exams so close by, I just feel like cbs. While I still continue to work, it's a struggle, no longer fluid.

Is this what people call burning out? Or what?  :-\
Anyone else just cbs?

I kinda feel the same way. If you can though, i'd recommend going to study at school rather than at home. Today was our first day of SWOTVAC and i was so much more productive there today than ever.

Yeh I know how you feeling, and it's hard to get out of bed in the morning. Yes this is burning out but we have to think positive. Have a day or two break then get back to it. It's only another what, 2-3 weeks of hard work then 3-4 months of holidays doing absolutely nothing and enjoying life again! Just remember we are nearly there, the finish line is insight, we can back off a little bit then kick again instead of tripping just before the line. Remember this, you can do this, we are nearly there.

English is the only subject i'm worried about
Practicing for English is so aksdnjdnsaj, essay after essay, so boring.

It's not that I'm not willing to put in the effort for 1-2 more weeks, it's just that I keep getting stuck on the essays and then stare at a wall forever.

Anyone got effective ways of getting out of bed, minus alarms (that I...ignore)? :P

Again the exact situation that I'm in. You wouldn't happen to be a guy going to a school in the western suburbs would you also? Anyway firstly out you alarm out of arm's reach. If that doesn't work put it in the next room and make sure it is up really loud so that you get out of bed and that pahse of falling back asleep passes before you reach your bed again. Secondly (I'm sure you are doing this though) plan the essays effectively, more than just a couple of dot points, but not a whole essay in a plan. Thirdly, if you have to move your desk to somewhere where you shouldn't get distracted (maybe with no wall in front of you?) Also remember that in the exam, if you go to stare you will be staring at the back of someone's head. Lately I've been setting up a table outside and doing my work in the sun, helps keep you happy and there are not many distractions (no electronic ones anyway), well made a couple of singing birds every now and then. Just think I have to overdo english now then it can (sorry english lovers) burn for the rest of your life (as in the subject not language, you still have to speak).
