My Motivation is On Vacation
Lately the weather has been sucky, rainy and cold, but before then it was so nice and warm and sunny. I want that weather back. It was such a tease. Mother nature is such a tease. The weather affects my mood so much. If it's cold and rainy when it's supposed to be sunny and warm then I don't even want to leave the house. I get sad or grumpy and don't feel like doing anything but staying in bed and sleeping, or watching movies and eating junk food. And when my happiness leaves me, so does my motivation. I think they are attached at the hip. And there is only one month of school left which makes me have NO motivation whatsoever anyway, so it's important that I get that good spring/almost summer weather.
It's getting so close to the end of the school year, and the end of my college career nonetheless. That is enough to make me so antsy. You would be too if you had only one month left of a 16 year education.and want to skip classes and procrastinate. Case in point: I have a Greek exam on Wed. and it's a doosy (is that how you spell that word?). And I'm about 50 pages behind in the grammer book, which means Marissa has A LOT of memorization to do tonight and tomorrow, which also means all-nighters, which she is not excited about. And of course I didn't get any studying done this weekend because I went home for Easter. But anywhen...back to the point.
To help with my wanting summer here so bad and my procrastination problems due to this CRAPPY weather, I have decided to start listening to some of my "summer" music. To me, this music reminds me of the summer, with the sun shining, me driving in the car with the windows and sun roof open, music blarring. Some of my summer music includes:
So, I've been listening to this music hoping it would put me in a better mood and whatnot but I'm afraid it just isn't working. It just makes me want summer even more. So, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a month or so before I play it again. :( All I need is good weather atleast. I feel like if I get that then my good mood will come back and along with it, hand in hand, will be my motivation.
