I need a little motivation...

Nothing at all is motivating me to finish two of the classes I so desperately need to finish.
I'd way rather do my other classes, but I know I can't do them until I get these two over with.

The worst of the two? Algebra 2.
I hate it.

And not even the fact that if I finish that class along with Fine Art (which is basically art history) my mom will book our flights to L.A. is motivating me.
I mean really, everyone knows how badly I want to go out to L.A.
And I know if I don't make my mom book the flights soon, it's not going to happen as planned.
So I NEED to finish.
I just can't seem to.

So here's what I'm going to try to do. Key word: TRY.
I'm going to try to finish both of those classes by the time my mom gets home on Sunday. Then for a little extra oomph (I love that word) to guarantee that she'll book our flights, I'll try to finish a test for Psychology and do a few experiments for Bio Lab.
The chances of the extra stuff actually getting done are slim to none, but hey, it's worth a shot.

It sucks though, because I just can't seem to motivate myself to get going on it.
It's not that it's that hard, because it's not.
I don't really know WHAT it is that's keeping me from starting.
I just can't seem to start.

Maybe it's the fact that I have about 23984720384 thoughts running through my head so I can't focus at all.
Try focusing when you feel like your head is spinning like a tornado...it's not so easy.

And it also doesn't help that it's about 4:30 a.m. which means I probably won't wake up until really late tomorrow.
And I hate doing work at night because I'd way rather just chill and talk to people.

RAWR.


Algebra 2.
You are the death of me.

PEACE, LOVE, AND COCOAPUFFS

I seem to be having the same problem. Except in four classes. Normally I keep caught up with at least one, but being homeschooled, I just don't have the motivation to do it all myself anymore. Which is odd, because normally I would be all over it, number one in the class. Not even having a good career in the future is motivation enough for me to do my work.

All of it is due by April 10th, so I guessit would be good to get all the work done, and not fail the classes again this quarter.

If ia trip to LA isn't motivating you at the moment, I'm not sure what will. Just sit there for a few hours, make a goal of a certain amount of work, get it done, then reward yourself with something cool on a break. And just keep doing that until all the work is done.

Algebra 2 is not a complete breeze of a course, and I even took it my freshman year, but have to take it again, because I moved and couldn't get my credit, because they didn't offer Algebra 2 at my next school, and now I am taking it again, and I am still not motivated to do it, becasue it takes too much time out of my day. I recently talked to my math teacher, and got some help, and it seems the hard things that you ahve to do in algebra, are not as hard and time consuming as we may think.

Just sit down, do the work, and reward yourself after a certain amount. Put an away message up, and no myspace or facebook or anything until that amount of work is done.


I will be doing it all day today as well, so know that if someone more stupid and inneficient than you can get it done, you can get it done =]



Have fun in Los Angeles.

Wow, this was long, and don't mind my blabbering.
Haha.

xo.

oh my goodness, I FEEL YOU!
i'm in algebra 2 too... i hate it. and i know what you mean about putting things off even though you have really good potentail motivation. i do that basically everynight. cause like, i wanna be able to sleep more, but i always put my homework off until 10 or 11 at night, and then i'm up until like 2 or 3 in the morning and i have to wake up at 6... so, i'm going to go think of some good motivational stuff and then let you know... haha.

i love youuuu!
