I seriously don't know what's wrong with me but lately i've been slacking off heaps. I get home from school and don't get anything done, i've been procrastinating endlessly, as a matter of fact i have an english assesment due tomorrow and haven't started.. Don't get me wrong, i'm not always like this and i do care about my marks and stuff but i relly don't know what has gotten over me lately..It's not only the case in my school work.. i find that i can't think straight and that i've lost my creativeness and stuff..i think its cos im burning out.. i don't know but it's worrying me heaps as the hsc is coming up and all..

(and no, it's not drugs..lol)

Yeah, I have a Legal assignment due on Wednesday, and I haven't started it - and an English one due on Friday and I haven't done half of it.

I think I'm just sick of Preliminary - the marks and ranks don't matter so I don't really care anymore. Counting the days until HSC starts.

Your definately not alone! haha
I have a bio assignment due on friday and have barely touched it yet LOL
Each term, no, actually every year I have always told myself to 'start fresh' and what do you know, im procastinating and stressing about it the last minute (though, suprisingly I get good marks for most of them. But imagine how many more marks I could have recieved if I had spent more time).
Its such a bad habit! How can I start changing before the HSC comes around?

lol I don't know why I'm relaxing :|

Maybe it's because the year 11 prelims pale in comparison to the HSC. And I want to gear up for the HSC, not year 11 yearlies. Haha =)

Nothing counts for you all. Seriously. It's nothing.

That's me. Definitely.

I'm less worried about the marks and more worried about the psychological implications or reasons.

:(

that's the general rule but not entirely true, especially if you do a language or maths for example.

Burn out probably describes it exactly, and I guess its better to happen now than next year. I read your post and was like - that's me exactly.
I have a million readings for Phys Ed Studies and Ancient History that aren't done, so much maths homework that I just can't be fucked doing, and a test for human biology tomorrow that I don't see the point in revising. And I still have another term left of Year 11, so I'm not even in the same boat as those with end of year exams approaching. I still don't know what I'm going to do.

Made a load of garbage in Paper 2 without studying :) Sounded good at least.

What are some ways to prevent yourself burning out?

Ive been procrasting alot lately (by lately i mean ever since i was born) as well, but fortunately for me i do my best (by best i mean least crap) thinking under pressure. But ive always been like that. I almost get a thrill in the last minute rush, but not always. Its like my drug

I think of it as future depending on me unleashing my full intelect in a few hours.
