Motivation

[samuch]

Just did about 30 minutes of study, i think some congratulations are in order?

*claps*

[teebagger*]

I regret my whole VCE experience. Gah.
Senioritis.

[darcy42]

What exactly do you regret? I would like to know so i can do it differently haha

[teebagger*]

LOL. Ok Darcy, picking subjects I hate and not dropping them when I had the chance. Going to a shitty school like mine where cheating is rampant and the bulk of the teachers are passionless, "I couldn't get my dream job so this is plan B" type teachers. And I had to undergo a major operation on my femur in year 11 so I couldn't really do a unit 3/4 subject. And just overall being a lazy shit. Leaving everything to the last minute, from homework (which sometimes I wouldn't even hand in, omg) and studying for SACs/exams. Yep, as long as you don't do what I did/do, you'll be OK.

Yeah i really can't be bothered doing any studying.

1st term holidays stuffed up my studying pattern, now this holidays i was planning to get so much done but basically 1 week has gone and ive done next to nothing.

Sigh.

[darcy42]

Right yeah well i picked subjects that i enjoy rather than those that scale, so im pretty set there.
I do feel your pain with the teacher thing, ive had a few teachers who fit that description perfectly, although i am lucky enough this year to have teachers that are genuinely interested in my learning, and reward effort as best they can.
Although through all this i'm still a lazy shit. I promise i'll lift my game soon...maybe tomorrow. Nah next week. Sometime soon anyway.

God what a bad time to get demotivated

[darcy42]

Timing has never been my strongpoint

[Blakhitman]

I swear I'll stop procrastinating...from tomorrow.

Aww. Don't be so down on yourself! Nobody is perfect, and the operation wasn't exactly your fault. You can still do really well from here

I've been feeling really unmotivated too. I know all the 'tricks' that work for me to do things. Like, say to yourself 'I only need to work for five minutes, then I can stop' and then the five minutes turns into a reasonable amount of time because the hardest part of working is just starting. But I feel like I'm just using strategies, and only coping rather than doing my best. I don't know, perhaps it has to do with the fact that I haven't really had a break in my education for 15 and a half years. And this upcoming semester is the last one until honours and I'm really just dreading that.

uni aint as fun as u think, serzly enjoy high school while you can.

K

I just want to go to uni schoolies

[slothpomba]

so many people are losing motivation.
at the moment i'm so unmotivated in a few of my subjects, and have been especially in englang for the last couple of months - there is no way i can do well at this subject so i'm having trouble focusing on it. and have zero motivation for UMAT, absolutely zero.
i'm excited to go to uni though and i will most likely not be doing undergrad medicine, and so my aim of 99+ (even 98+) is no more, and id be happy just doing science@melb so i see no neeed to try that much this year.. haha, all i want is to do really well in at least 2 subjects, and not much else..

I've lost motivation for all but 2 of my 5 subjects and my motivation for the UMAT is waning. If you try hard enough you'll end up where you want eventually anyway, no matter what path you take (im sure theres a gazillion motivational quotes and songs on this).

I also doubt ill get into medicine at this point, it'd also be happy with Melbourne science or bio-med(Enter too high for me though i reckon). On the upside it means i don't have to make the deadly 1-2 hour one way trip to Monash every day (That would mean 4 hours a day if I'm unlucky with traffic or getting public transport).

LOL. Ok Darcy, picking subjects I hate and not dropping them when I had the chance.

I also should of really taken up that chance, i have subjects i shouldn't of taken/ didn't want over subjects i would of actually enjoyed and done much better in.

Going to a shitty school like mine ..... and the bulk of the teachers are passionless

You didn't leave a much better school lol, we got that here too. We're a chunk below average apparently. Well, except the cheating, i dont hear much of that.

And just overall being a lazy shit. Leaving everything to the last minute, from homework (which sometimes I wouldn't even hand in, omg) and studying for SACs/exams.

You're not the only one, i do that a lot too.

I'd be fantastic at vCE if i was less lazy...

[vexx]

^ yeah same here with UMAT, doing nothing.
i don't really want to go to monash that much so it's fine, but i'd love to do medicine there still >_>
im putting only science as a preference at melb, cos i dont like the biomed course anymore (dont want to do calculate or experimental design, D: )

[slothpomba]

What preferences are you thinking of?
