I Should Be Studying...

...for my comprehensive exams on Wednesday (I guess that's tomorrow by now). But I'm not. I have a real problem with motivation lately and I hate that. I really want to get off of my ass and do what I'm supposed to do, but then I don't.

I also go back and forth between being extremely nervous about them to not really caring. I have my oral exams next week. I guess I'll know then if the last year and a half was a total waste or not. This sucks.

I don't know... I'm sorry for rambling. *sigh*

    Me too.. I've been terrible with motivation lately.. Desperately need help -_-

    heh, the first draft of my thesis is due tomorrow.. procrastination is my middle name!

    as for motivation, I try and reward myself for working. I lay out all of the things I need to do and then give myself a short break after finishing each one.

    It is done. I have passed my comprehensive exams... I now add a second expensive piece of paper to my wall. How exciting.

    I so know the feeling. I have had no motivation lately at all and it's getting down to the wire now with school and financial aid stuffs.

    Thanks. This is true. But I still have another masters I am working on because, of course, one just isn't enough; so that will occupy me in the short term. I hope with my teaching certification I can find a job, but I foresee several years of substitute teaching *shudder*.

    McDonald's is always hiring... and there is a reason for that. ;)

    My husband is $90K in debt over school alone. Still doing the required hours under supervision before he can make any real money at it. As of now he hasn't gotten any money at all. He has three jobs, one that pays and two to get the time in. With some were between one and two years to go.
    I hope your doing better then that.

    I'm apparently quite fortunate in this respect. When I went to the Open House for RIT, where I'll be going to finish a Bachelor's and then do a Master's starting this fall, they told us that [I][B]97%[/B][/I] of RIT graduates are employed in their field within 6 months of graduation. This happens, they said, because RIT is such a highly respected school that major companies come onto campus all the time and frequently hire students on the spot before they've even graduated. So basically, assuming I make it through the Accounting program (said to be the hardest of the Business majors), I will be pretty much guaranteed a job pretty quickly.

    Well, that's especially so given that nearly the same percentage are required to have paid internships, thus already have connections and experience with companies who are willing to resume employing them. :p

    Woo! I got one week free of any school work now.
  • ChaosedChaosed Ranger
    Paid internship? Its all working for free here. :(
    The job is therapist.
  • sataicallistasataicallista High Priestess of Squeee!
    Ouch.
    Yeah, RIT has mandatory quarter-length co-ops during which you work for a company full time and get a full time wage. You don't go to school and you don't pay any tuition during that time.

    I guess CA decided only people with money should get the job.
