Lack of motivation to read

I've been trying all evening (at least the last 6 hours) to get my reading done - I have to take a quiz and if I don't do the reading I'll get zero - not exactly what I want.... but holy moly is the motivation crap. Normally I can put a TV show on and away I go. Ya I know I'm weird, most cannot study unless it's quiet... I'm the opposite, there must be a show on or no studying happens.

Plus the reading I have to get done is technical and boring so that decreases the motivation to complete. why must it be so dry???!!!!

I seriously need to get my butt in gear!

I'll leave you with a thing I found on facebook.... It's exactly what I feel like I do these days - not much room for much more (aside from clinical and work)

Midterms - bane of my existance

I completed my exams yesterday...

My mental health course I bombed - 67% bombed - brought my course mark down more than 10% - EEEK.... not impressed with myself. It's my own fault though, if I had done my reading as I should have then I wouldn't have done so terribly.

Note to self - even if you think that you know your shit, that doesn't mean that you can't do the readings... this teacher's stuff actually comes from the text - no wonder I bombed!

My ethics course was sooooooo messed - it was 10 ethics questions and you had to support your position with at least 2 sources, which = a LOT of researching and reading which = a LOT of time. No wonder I bombed my OTHER exam, I didn't have TIME to do the readings because I was too busy doing this stupid exam. I had BETTER get an amazing mark!

Oh and I had to work this weekend so there goes 72 hours of potential study time.

Hubby of course lectured me, told me I should be working harder and studying more.

I admit that the motivation to study has been lax lately, I totally need to pull my pantlegs up and work more but I honestly dislike these courses so how am I supposed to be motivated for this crap?! HEEEELLLPPP!
