What have I gotten myself into?
OH sometimes it is so difficult to get motivated. I watched Dr. Phil today and it was all about people who desperately needed to get a life. And the good doctors advice? Just get up and do it, even though you don't feel like it. Part of the process of maturing is doing the right thing for yourself, even when you don't want to. So although I am not as bad as the people on the show today, I decided to try to take Dr. Phil's advice to heart. It's been 6 hours since the show ended and I have still not started my essay. BUT... I'll do it tomorrow. Haha. Dr. Phil is a smart guy.
We all need to get motivated now and then. Sometimes I have to ask myself what I'm even doing in university. I often don't feel I'm smart enough to be there. I feel like all the other people in my major are more likely to know what's going on, what the prof is talking about, and they all get better marks than I do. But I know that's not true. It is just very easy to get hard on yourself, especially when the going gets tough at the U. And the tough is going right now...
"So Kristin, how far along are you on your essay? .... Ohh. Oh my. Yah, I've been done for weeks... you should get started on that, hey?" I feel like that is every single coversation I have lately. Everyone always seems a chapter ahead, a paper ahead, a seminar ahead...more like a life ahead of me. Like come on people!!! Sigh. I'm just a little grumy and frustrated right now.
In a month, this will all be behind me. Then I get to go to Europe, come home and work all summer and go camping (my new found love of summer) and have fun (maybe even play ball... ME! Playing ball!?!?!) ... and then when August hits, I'll be so excited to get back into it all over again (God help me). So for the rest of March, and the first two weeks of April, my incredible advice to myself (and to you should you need it) ....
Just do it.

P.S. Yah you heard me... I am playing ball this summer.
