I can officially say that I’ve lost all motivation here at Full Sail. I don’t think I can pinpoint one exact trigger for this, as I feel it’s a combination of many factors. The weather is so damn nice, all I want to do is go to the beach every day.
It makes it hard for me to sit down on the weekends and hammer out any work. But really, I think it boils down to the fact that both of the classes I’m in right now are so insanely uninteresting to me that I just can’t get motivated to sit down and make time for the work. Compound that with the fact that I’ve been in school for a solid 20 years of my life, and you’ve got a recipe for laziness.
I suppose you could attribute this to a form of “senioritis”, in that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and people only react in one of two ways when they see the end. One, they know they only have a little bit left and feel they should finish strong. This is an admirable character trait, and I wish I were that way.
That bring us to numero Dos. These people see the end in sight and slack off, feeling that they’ve put in a ton of hard work beforehand and it’s time to take a play off. That’s me right now. Completely, hopelessly unmotivated.
I have a project due tomorrow for my Interactive Media Design class, and while it’s more or less completed, I have all day to polish it up if I felt so inclined … and I seriously couldn’t care less about it right now. That’s the problem – I have lost all interest in doing well here right now. This happens to everyone from time to time I suppose, but it’s driving me crazy right now.
I have a lot I could be working on, but I’ve spent all weekend putzing around doing absolutely nothing. It’s been nice to have a little break and all … but I’ve got to light a fire under my ass, and soon.
