*huge sigh* Anyone else finding it hard to focus here in the last few weeks of spring quater?? I have never had it this bad before, let me tell you though it was a tough year! Horrible teachers, horrible tests, early mornings, snowed in days, car repairs the list goes on!! I am soooo burnt out I can barely get myself to crack my med surg book to study for my finals.... Anyone else suffering? Any ideas on how to light a fire under my toosh?

I hear ya. I have a final on Monday for my least favorite class ever. The grade I need on the final depends immensely on the grade of a paper I just turned in. If I ace the paper, I only need a 77 on the final to keep my A. If I get an 80% on the paper (which I'm praying I didn't) then I need a 94 on the final to keep my A.
My lazy self is waiting to start studying until I get my paper grade back, because it's too nice outside to sit and study. I'll crank it out at the end, I always do, but I'm really dragging my feet more than usual.

Get going! That way you won't look back and wish you had studied harder. Nothing wrong with studying outside, while sipping a big glass of iced tea.

This is EXACTLY what happened to me. All I needed was a 94 or above on my final to get an A. I got so BLAH'd with school by the end of this semester and I ended up getting a friggin 88. And my school is one of those schools that dont give B+'s. So all my good work and I got a B. So aggravating. So good luck!
