Motivation

When they say 3L is better than 2L, they aren't kidding. I feel much less stressed about school than I did at this point last year. Of course, that might be because I lack motivation to do much schoolwork - I've lost the fear I think. I don't worry as much about appearing unprepared in class - it's not life or death, for heaven's sake. (With the exception of the classes that do grade on class participation - those I do some work for). This might change around finals time, though.

I am stressed about finding a job, though. That isn't motivating me much at this point, either, but I'm sure it will.

What I really want to do is watch Battlestar Galactica all day (which I did yesterday - yay for Netflix), or just channel surf looking for bad movies. But I'll at least do some token work first, then goof off, then head to my sister's for a BBQ.
