totally lost the drive

bismarck SG

think i've totally lost the drive to like even do some tutorials
i spent the whole day doing only 2 questions. not as if they were essays but it took me 15mins to muster even 1 line.

my mind just wander around after sitting still for 5mins then either i walk ard the hse, drink something, eat something, surf net, read papers, look at my fishes etc. tv also. sleep.

my exams are coming up and i simply lack the determination and drive to even open my books. i am supposed to be dying to pass this sem and i keep telling myself to study, do tutorials end up, still the same. i can stay online up to 2,3am yet cant even study pass midnight.

seriously, can anyone help me ?

ok, Bismarck. NEVER study at home! cuz there is TOO many temptations including your COMPUTER! and tv programs etc.

Study in school, like tutorial rooms, library, study area etc. or go to community centers, national library, fast-food restuarants OR study with your friend! Very Happy

but only study with those friends WHO study and not talk and talk and talk....

my 2 cents that enable me to get a 2nd Upp. Mr. Green

agreed. considering ur exams are so close, it might not be wise to do this. but well at least reexamine what you want out of your studying. though i admit there are times i complete lose my motivatin to study and just ditch and fail all my test. Laughing this is so not helping... -_-"

Another point to note is that when u study in a study group, do not bring the computer or you might end up surfing the net…

hey, sounds like you are burnt-out!

happens to alot of students, esp top students who have reached a threshold point of 'enough is enough!!'

anyway, what you can do is - like the rest suggested - make studying more enjoyable by bringing your books out. to fast food joints (during my A levels, delifrance was a second home...). to libraries with your friends. put on your headphones. go for frequent snack/shopping/exercise breaks.

yea! and studying wouldnt be THAT MUCH of a chore.

failing which, go inspire yourself by ogling at the uni of your choice - yale/harvard/cambridge/york - whatever rocks your socks.
