Burning Out
Posted by Nicole Sharp on 14 December 2005 at 22:04I've noticed a certain sense of complacence creeping into my work ethic when it comes to tests this semester. When it's time to batten down and study hard, the feeling of futility is hard to combat. It's as though my mind is saying, "Well, I guess that you can try to study this for another hour or two, but really, it's out of your hands." Try as I might, I can't find the motivation and concentration to get rid of that. I'd call it senioritis except I do still care about how I perform in class and the sort of shape that I get out of here in.
On the bright side, I was pleased with myself walking out of my Flight and Orbital final on Tuesday, so maybe I can get that to carry over into tomorrow morning's Signals and Systems final. After that I'll be done with every class except EMAE 453, which has a take-home exam so there's no point to studying.
I think I'm just burnt out, and I hope that three weeks of nothingness—and hopefully enough sleep to catch up on what I've lost this semester—will fix that.
Good luck with finals, everyone.

On 13 January 2006 at 00:04Hi, thanks for your comment on my Case-provided MT. It took many months before I was brave enough to venture through the wordpress template files and build something from scratch...I don't think I'll be able to invest the time and effort with Movable Type. "rebuilding" is a scary, scary term.
I can't say whether I would go to Case if accepted. It's not exactly local, so it would have to depend on financial aid and such, in a massively complex series of checks and balances: case vs. free tuition state school vs. ridiculously expensive private school, with too many variables to even begin to consider.
This picture by the way, is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Do you get to work at that lab?
