I have experienced senioritis. The general feeling of not really caring about classes, lacking motivation to do anything ahead of time. At this time last night, I realized that my apathy came dangerously close to actually affecting my schoolwork. With an hour before class, I realized that I had not written a (short) paper and had not revised my other essay. Cue mini-panic attack. Instant change in dinner plans and a crazy 40 minutes of making up something to write about and throwing it into a word document. I got two pages, which is close to what I have gotten in normal circumstances. A very disorganized essay though, definitely not the best, but it could've been worse. At least I'll find out in a week or so.
Following class, I decided to actually sit down and redo syllabus week - meaning take my class syllabi and copy assignments into my agenda-book so that will not happen again. Getting more organized - check. Now I just have to make sure to keep up with my agenda.
On another note, I decided that giving up Facebook for Lent would be the best challenge to reasonably attempt. Considered chocolate, but the conversation in class definitely made me want to try facebook. And I have plenty of other internet things to keep me distracted from my work. And I can continue my pleasure-reading. So we'll see how that goes starting tomorrow.
4/1/12 Update: That paper was better than I expected - 88%. And no Facebook for Lent is going well also!
