Senioritis
The new academic school year hasn't even started and I'm already suffering from a full blown case of Senioritis. Yikes. I really don't understand how it works. Every senior seems to have gone through this stage...the stage where you're so close to graduating that you kind of give up or feel burned out. No longer are you the eager freshman with eyes full of passion to take on the challenges and obstacles that will lead you to your dream. As each year passes, you gradually feel more and more worn out, and by the time you're ALMOST at your destination, you become like the hare from the "Hare and Tortoise" story. You just decide you wanna take a break and just chill.
I always tell myself, "Nah, I'm not gonna let it happen to me. Passion and determination to keep working hard even during your senior year is a matter of willpower. There is no such thing as the senioritis bug. Look, I'm just done with my junior year and I feel more powerful than ever! Let's take on some summer classes and get this over with so you can have a good start to your senior year and spend more time applying to jobs!"
Come summer session 2 and I'm just dying to get out of school. I want no more of it! Just give me a loooooong break. What was I thinking about tackling two classes during the summer so I could have more time taking MORE classes?! Suddenly, everything that made sense to me before the senioritis bug hit me makes very little sense. I look at my plans now and think to myself, "What, are you crazy? How was this ever a good idea? Where is your time for play and for life?"
Who would have thought just 3 extra months of studying would cause so much stress? In the workforce you'd never get summer off anyway so I figured continuing classes wasn't such a bad idea. So is it really the bug? Or is it just me being lazy? Perhaps my procrastination self has decided she has enough of this "work hard" attitude and is rebelling? Hahaha. Oh well.
Also, I found out that I might have to face the 231 stats series if I do my masters. I completed the 131 series (with much perseverance) thinking that I wouldn't have to do it for the masters' program, but now the council is thinking of revising the curriculum to become more challenging!? FML. Kinda feeling at loss a little bit.
Two. More. Weeks. Ariel. Push push push. I don't think I've ever hated a math class so much in my life. So it's either I a) hate the lecturer, or b) really hate math but never realized it. I'm going to go for (a), since Charles mentioned that he had a friend with a 4.0 GPA who hates his class too, so it can't be the material itself since she's a pro at it. She just really didn't like his teaching style. Sigh.
Fight on!
