Yes, I just realised that recently.. It's really kind of sad. I always dragged myself to do homework and whenever I am doing it, I keep thinking how my instructor would not like my work already. It takes a lot of mental energy just to sit down and get my brain to work on projects. By the end of project, I would feel extremely exhausted, mentally.

I really want to recondition myself to have a more positive attitude about schoolwork. First, I want to condition myself to think that school work should be rewarding and not torturous. I think it's easy to say it now. But when I'm bogged down by school work and feeling tired. I tend to go back to my old habit of thinking that school is torturous and I need to put in more hours into this, etc. Any tips/ideas on how I should go about reconditioning my mind?

Next semester, I have made a commitment to free up my Saturday strictly for going out with my friends. And also I want to forge a better relationship with my classmates and instructor, so I can hopreully have a more rewarding time in school

I called my good friend yesterday and got her onboard. I promised her that this semester will be the last semester that I will ever fail any class and I wanted to fix my GPA. So she will be my accountability buddy.

Thanks for the help from all you guys.. I really appreciate it.
