Often I think that if I can be aware I can see what’s coming and do my best to avoid it. Which seems like pretty good logic; but time after time I find myself in the same spot. It seems that just like clockwork I have entered the midterm doldrums. This syndrome that I describe could be unique to just college or maybe just me, but during the weeks that follow my midterms I find myself becoming very unenthused and unmotivated to do what I need to. To sum it up I’m starting to feel burnt out. This bothers me because like I said at the beginning I think that if I’m aware enough to see what’s coming then I should be able to avoid it. Apparently that approach doesn’t seem to work as well for me as it once did. Sometimes I think that the best solution to this is activity. That is heading out and doing something else beside study or read. Unfortunately this week that’s not really working for me, in this last week I have been more active then I have been for weeks. It could just come down to the way that I’m dealing with stress or it could just be something I’m making way to big of a deal of.
