2nd Test

I have my second test of the semester tomorrow and I'm not as prepared as I should be. I looked up all the review questions from each chapter, but I haven't reviewed everything well enough to write essays. I'm really having trouble motivating myself to study for tests this semester and if I don't kick it into gear, I'm going to end up very unhappy with my grades at the end of the semester.

Maybe my motivation is just tied up with getting myself to read everything that’s absolutely necessary (never mind the things I "should" be reading). But I'm also feeling like my teachers are pretty un-motivating. I haven't quite pinpointed just what about a teacher knocks out my motivation, but there are a few teachers that really inspire me. Unfortunately, they are few and far between and because the teacher is so influential in how I learn, its such a bummer when I get a teacher that just doesn't cut it. Then I either do poorly in the class from lack of effort or I do well because I spend an exorbitant amount of effort... but I have a miserable time either way so it really doesn't sound like fun to me!

Next task: Read 190pg for one class in one week (we read 90pg this last week for that same class)... plus all my other classes... oh joy!
