Silly o'clock

Visible to anyone in the world

My lack of motivation lately is really driving me crazy...crazier wide eyes

Its currently half 1 in the morning, and I've just finished writing an introduction for an essay due in on Thursday.....an essay that I have 5 chapters to read for, and I have not yet watched a single module video for. And yep that's right, I am instead sat here writing on a blog, because well you know, I'm already years behind an extra 5 minutes wont make much difference.

I'm at a point were I could be locked in room with no windows, and only my textbook to read, and I would be trying to do headstands rather than reading.

The annoying thing is I have so much passion for what I'm studying, and the career I want to pursue in the future, yet I still keep failing to pick up a book.

My dog is currently curled up on the edge of my bed, giving me evils for typing away at this stupid time.....but hey at least I have an introduction, maybe tomorrow I will somehow convince myself to read.....or failing that I will nap instead!

I definitely underestimated how much my head would mess up my studying...silly mind

I'm now going to go and read forums, because hey, that's an important part of writing an essay!

New module syndrome.

Visible to anyone in the world

So I have been studying a social science module since October, and initially I found it very interesting and was really enjoying working on it...until I received my new psychology module books that is.

Suddenly I have found myself particularly uninterested in the original module, and am struggling to keep up on the 'study planner'...Don't get me wrong I'm not behind with deadlines or anything, but all of a sudden I have a choice of modules, and the new one has definitely taken my attention!

So now that I am miles ahead with the new module, I find myself realising that I have finished my first TMA for the new module, which isn't due in till the end of the month.....but I still have a TMA five times the size, due in a few days earlier for the first module, which I have yet to start..... 

New life plan.....Finish the essay due in first, first.....Currently on a search for any form of motivation, I hope I find it!
