i had this crazy idea that if i take science/math classes, it would be better than humanities classes. so i took a bunch of hard classes that i didn't need. even though i took them, i couldn't see myself associating with it much after i graduate. i guess i wanted to work hard, but i foolishly allocated my energy the wrong way. i burnt myself out, and i have hardly any motivation left. i'm always tired and cranky. i still do work, but i have absolutely no energy, no passion, whatsoever. i'm quite overwhelmed, and even when i think about homework, my head hurts and i feel like puking. i only have 3-4 weeks left before finals. my classes aren't that hard either. i have to pull it through. but i just hate everything i do. how can i stick it out for the remaining of the quarter?

    I find if I'm in that situation the best thing to do is just slog through and think ahead to the nice long break I'll be taking. That happened to me one summer; I basically went one semester too long without a serious break and I only got through it by virtue of some major help in math from a friend of mine and the knowledge that in the fall I would be working at TRIUMF. :)

    That work break really helped recharge my batteries AND got me some valuable career experience in nuclear science.
