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!

Kinda in a funk

Can't really explain it - feeling kinda blah lately. The motivation has completely tanked and I'm only in week 3 of school. Holy shit I need to pull it together.

Tonight I did my schedule calendar for school - trying to get it put up so that I can TRY to be on top of things.

My one teacher has laid it all out for us nice and neat - at least we can work ahead in readings if we are so inclined because she's great that way.

The other teacher - nursing course of course - won't go more than a week in advance - hell this week he only released this week's readings on the start date of the week. This puts a MAJOR crunch on me because my ADHD kicks in whenever it wants (like right now) and I KNOW that I'm going to fall behind on the readings and THEN where will I be when it comes to quiz time (such as at the end of this week) when I am not up to date with the readings and won't know my information which = a bad grade. ERGGGG

I even posted in the discussion area that it would be in our (students) best interest if he would release the readings and such more in advance than what he is currently doing because at least then students like me won't get behind in readings. But to no avail... he said no. Asshole IMO.

Thinking about forwarding my disability information to them so that I can get the information in advance. Don't know how much good it will do me though. Any thoughts on this anyone?
