I'm really screwing myself over

I've basically quit on 2/3 classes I'm taking... I haven't done anything in English and History in I don't know how long and right now it's really starting to bother me that I have a lack of motivation ... Some days I don't even get up in the morning ...

I don't know if it's because I hate my teachers - I mean - the one class I'm actually doing something in is media - my media teacher is the coolest guy in the world - him and I get along great except he hates macs and I sort of have a thing for them...

Then my history teacher is all Uberfeminist - to the point where she goes to say that women should not have been treated unequally in Egypt etc and goes on to stress how poorly women were treated when all this happened quite a long time ago, and stressing how poorly women were treated in history shows how equal men and women are now ... IMHO - the point of feminism is equity with males, not to have the female gloat over how poorly she was treated in the past...
--Not saying it was good, but possibly add how poorly the slaves were treated in those times as well, to show there were also males who were treated unfairly etc... She just pisses me off... I remember grade 11 english I failed miserably as well because I couldn't take the teacher's feminist remarks over almost ANY subject - I believe the end of that class I got 32 and I made it up in Summer school for a 91

The other teacher (english) attempts to be this boring guy who is getting old and cranky but he really isn't... He attempts to fit a stereotype that he can't really play - I like the guy but he gives off sort of an "I gave up" attitude towards his job that I just can't stand...

Ehh - I'm ranting about school... This is so lame I could probably encode MP3's, but still... I'm screwing myself over because of teachers and I don't know why
 
We share similar problems. I'm a smart kid, and I can handle the load, but I've failed my Math classes two years in a row now. I'm pretty sure I just failed English, which is easily my best subject. I get excited for school when it starts, and I put forth my best efforts... and then, the excitement fades, and I just don't care.

It all comes down to laziness. Well... For me, anyway.

It's not a good thing, either, because I'm pretty sure I'm only setting myself up for a life of failure, or something like that.
 
I did that at the end of this year.

I couldn't explain it either, I just didn't see how it would be better for me, I didn't have any motivation.

Luckily, I pulled through so I could graduate, but I still feel like I could have done SO much better. Thats a big regret of mine right now, and trust me, you don't want to put yourself in that position!
 
Ehh - at the beginning of the year I'm always like "Yah! I'm going to get an 80 - if I set my mind to this I can do it" etc, but constantly I find myself in the same position - Not caring about the classes I'm in and not caring about the future ...
 
I have that issue, too.

I assume most do- it's natural to lose steam after awhile.

Unless you're asian...

It's called TROD- tabula rosa obsessive disorder

P.S. I got straight C's this semester. w00t.
 
It's not that I don't care about the future, because I do, it's just that I don't know where I want to head in the future.

Seriously, I'm entering my Junior year with no ideas at all where I'd like to go to college, what I'd like to study, or really where I'd like to see myself five years from now. I think that, for several years now, I've had it in my mind that it doesn't matter; I've got quite a while to make my mind up and get in shape.

I guess I've waited too long.
 
:thumbsup: I can't decide right now, but this may have just saved me haha...

Probably not... I've already told too many "I'll have it by ______"'s ...

See - I know that I want to do something in advertising - but I'm too lazy (?) to go see where is offering college courses etc and which classes I need to get in ... I'm taking another year but I'm just kinda taking things very slowly... I mean - I don't even have my liscence yet and I was going to get it quite a while ago
 
hmm...well, if it makes you feel better- I almost didn't graduate this year.

I'd slacked off so much 2nd semester that I thought I wouldn't make it at all.

Or that I would just barely graduate but then get rescinded from all of my schools.

Good news is- I worked my butt off for a month and passed. Straight C-'s, actually.

YOU CAN DO IT, TOO!!

mediocrity ftw!!
