Burn out

[cookderosa]

I think I'm finally burning out here. After two years of going to school full time, I finally am approaching the point of burn out. I find myself delaying assignments until the last minute and I'm starting to consider B's to be acceptable again. While nothing is wrong with a B, the fact is I can pull A's with just a modicum of extra effort. Unfortunately that effort feels hard to come by. This is my last semester for at least a year. I'm transferring to the ship come January and will be way to busy during 2009 to even consider classes. Even with the thought of such a break, I still am dragging ass in these last two courses.

If only I could test out of my grad school...

I gotta shape up.

Hey, we all burn out!!

First- I think a B is ok from time to time. I wouldn't ever say "shoot for the B" hilarious but perhaps it will happen that you get a B sometimes. A "B" still counts, and it is still a mark of successful completion.

Here is my advice (which is worth what you paid for it LOL) whatever pace allows you to finish is the best pace! If slowing down and skipping an assignment (GASP) means that you get a little jolt of energy back in your step, then so be it. How many people start out at a sprint and never finish?? Last night I spoke to my step-mom, she was 6/10 of her masters classes done when she burnt out. This is 20 years ago, and her college had a 7 year time limit. She had an "A" average, but she has no degree.
