Unmotivated

This past week, I realized that I am very unmotivated.

Sunday: I had an assignment due at 11:59 PM. I knew I had to do the assignment, and was actually planning to do it after I did some reading and relaxing from the hectic weekend. The assignment was pretty easy, just some chemistry problems that would require some calculator work and things of that nature. Not too intensive. Seven o'clock rolled in and I still didn't want to do it. Instead, I put on a Friends DVD and ignore the fact that I still have plenty of time to do the assignment. At 10 PM, I decided to pop in a second Friends DVD. Chemistry assignment = not done. The one good thing about not doing an assignment for this class is that we get to drop out lowest score. I guess this zero is my lowest score.

Monday: For Tuesday, I had a lab due for Chemistry. It wasn't even a difficult thing that we had to do for the lab. Just a table of concentrations, a rate law ( = very simple math), and a paragraph of discussion. Yeah, not done. What did I decide to do? Play Super Mario Brothers 3.

Wednesday: I had a pretty relaxing day. I had an exam in my Spanish class, and a quiz in chemistry. Interesting enough, I actually studied for these. I had about 7 Trig problems to do for class. You guessed it! Didn't do them. This one isn't really my fault. Our professor doesn't require us to do homework, it's just an added item that would be taken into consideration if you have a borderline grade (ie, if you're failing). I ended up doing the assignment in the hour before class, finished it, and turned it in.

I'm trying to be better this week. I have an assignment due on Sunday at 11:59 PM, readings for Spanish and Philosophy and some Trig for Tuesday. Also, I have to study for an exam in chemistry on Wednesday. I feel that being motivated this week is going to be alot harder than attempting to do work this week. The week after this one is Spring Break.

Help.

Hello 2010 (Pronounced Twenty Ten)

I noticed that it has been a long time since I've posted anything on here. With good reason. Work was busy from Thanksgiving weekend until what seems like Valentine's Day weekend (I can see into the future). Working in retail, you just see those kinds of things.

The start of the new year has been great. January is coming to an end, and I can say that so far, 2010 has not sucked. I still have a job, I'm in school, I've been out an about.

This years New Years Resolutions.

- Lose weight: Always a resolution. Though this year, so far, I've been sticking to it. Eating healthier food and portions and working out.

- Not using credit cards: This one, I feel, already went to shit. But it depends how you look at it. I HAD to buy a new power supply for my laptop. So I HAD to charge the 20 dollars. Which is better had I bought the 80 dollar one through Apple.

- Spending wisely: I'm still good. Going to free events, or suggested donation events is better than wasting my hard earned money. But I feel that somewhere in June or July I'm going to start spending unwisely.

Bad Internet Connections

How is it possible for a school to have working wi-fi from 8 am to 3 pm without any problems. Yet the minute it his 4 it goes all haywire? It sucks to say the least. I guess you get what you pay for.

This gets me thinking about my internet at home, and how it is also less than pleasant. We recently switched from having a home number associated with our internet service provider, to having one associated with a cell phone account. Now, the only thing we have with said company is our internet service.

Now, I am an anomaly, at my house. Out of the computers being used, I am the only one that uses a Mac. So, our internet was working perfectly, then the day that our service was reset to reflect out change of home telephone service, it only allows me (the Mac user) to view certain sites. It doesn't really bother me too much, the only sites I regularly visit that I can't use are FaceBook, MySpace, YouTube. It does bother me however, on my daily quest of trying to find out how much I have left in my bank account.

It's not been about 2 months that I have to wait until my monthly statement to see if I owe my bank money. I think I have had a good track record of never going negative. Yes there are probably solutions to how I could fix that bad internet connection, but someone (the person at home who pays the internet) refuses to just call an Apple Genius to see what the problem could be. Not to mention, said person wants me to buy the new OS for Macs, I'm not sure I want to buy a new OS when X works perfectly. 

If it weren't for mobile banking, I think I would be penniless. At least that is not really much of an issue, seeing as I'm not usually web surfing on social networking sites at home. It does bother me that I can't do that at school. But I guess you get what you pay for: free Wi-Fi = crappy service. 

Taking a break...

I'm taking a break from writing a paper for my Philosophy class. Although it is very easy, I always find myself stressing over the quality of my work. I write and re-write a paper about 3 times (not actually keeping track of what I delete or move around- just a ball park number)

I know I'm not the first person to feel like this, nor the last, but it always makes me wonder why I stress so much over a three page paper on something that I understand and can probably talk hours on.

In the end, I get an A. But, how many A's will make it okay that I am a nervous wreck when it comes to an essay that after college won't mean much? 18243975310498?

I don't plan to write that many papers for class credit.
