MonicaSLP Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Anyone else, especially if you've already made a decision, feel way too distracted to concentrate this semester? I am relieved to have a plan for next year, but now I have no interest in studying for this week's midterms. I'm not even a senior, just a returning student taking my pre-reqs online. I want to be outside in the slightly-warming-up weather, and not stressing out for a change. I have 2 midterms tomorrow and cannot for the life of me focus AT. ALL. bindlestiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neucool Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Yes, my thesis is getting quite the cold shoulder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefuseau Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Crazy bad senioritis right here. I'm doing a post bacc right now so I need to keep going strong as I'm relatively new to this info. But physics? I've already blown off some homework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbeara Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Definitely feeling this. I still have no idea where I'm going to be next year as I don't have any acceptances yet and am still waiting on three schools. My concentration has been going down the drain - good thing I'm on spring break right now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulslp2b Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Same here instead of focusing on my school work and exams I've been busy trying to research where I'll live and how to move and also busy planning my graduation party . I'm so excited but we should definitely finish strong!! I'm just happy that I'm not stressing about getting in or not! bindlestiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLPosteriorCricoarytenoid Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 According to my statistical calculations, there is a negative correlation between nice weather and my motivation. Oh, and this graduate school stuff is probably taking 10 years off my life expectancy with all the stress it's causing! bindlestiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought correlation could only be between 2 quantitative factors, not categorical. But I'm kind of struggling with this stupid statistics class, so what do I know?

graceSLP Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Agreed! I'm only doing two post-bacc online courses and still can't concentrate, especially with the warmer weather! It's like 75 degrees here today! I found out about an acceptance last week right before I was about to start studying for a midterm and I definitely didn't study as much for it as I should have.

Chandru1 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I think what is inspiring me is that I want to finish strong. Still it's nice to not have the stress of worrying about grad admissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neucool Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Warm weather? I wish I had that problem... I kind of feel like I won't be DONE until I make a decision. Although, even then, I'm sure I'll find other things to distract me, like moving, starting summer classes, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now see why it's impossible to get into grad school here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved from the Bay Area to the East Coast for undergrad, and it looks like I'll be spending another two years here at least. Sometimes my parents send me pictures of the sun and the trees and I seriously question what I was ever thinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
