Burnout?
I have never taken a break from school.... I was an undergrad for 6 years...I did graduate with 2 BAs... and worked all through school to support myself. Now, I am in my first semester of grad school, I was so excited when I first started, but now, I can’t wait for it to be done!!
I hate myself for procrastinating, but for some reason I just can’t get myself to just do what I need to do. I do understand that I need to go to grad school to enter the field I want, and I do love my field of study, my professors, the program, etc. I just have hit a bump, a low time, and so early in my program! I've also been slacking off at home, have not been cleaning, or taking care of little day to day stuff. For example, I haven't gotten around to paying my bills, even though I have the money and all I need to do is write a check and mail it. I have no idea what's wrong with me! I'm slacking off on every aspect of my life, even my appearence sometimes. I stay awake all night until 4 or 5am, then sleep until about 30 min before I have to be at work, throw something on and off I go. What's my problem?
Have you felt this way? What do you suggest? How do you deal with burnout? Discuss this prevalent topic in the Graduate School Forum.
