mOtivation

Kinda ironic, I am writing a paper on motivating students in my classroom management class, and today I, well, I think I gave up in a different class. I got back the score to my second submission of a huge paper I have been working on, and it wasn't so hot. I determined if I get all 180 points on this last submission, that I still would only get an 85 ish on the total paper, and seeing that the paper is most of our grade in the class.... I don't know, it isn't motivating for me, because I know that I am not going to get all 180 points, so there is no way for me to get a A or an A- in the class anymore. It is almost not worth trying for at this point.

To do list (by Tuesday):

10 page paper in Philosophy of Science
20 page project in Classroom Management
10 page paper in Technical Writing

wish me luck! (I'm going to need it)

Good luck, but more than that: motivation, faith, courage, self-assurance, and love.
