Suggestions and Help Needed!

[cookderosa]

Hey all! I need some suggestions for a serious study slump. As some of you know I have been going full throttle with my studying and testing for the last 2 years. I'm currently in an accelerated grad school program and in the middle of my 4th class. I love the school and program, but I'm finding myself having trouble staying motivated and focused. I have had a lot going on in my normally busy life, but I just can't seem to stay on task with doing my weekly work. I will admit that all I'm doing it writing papers which isn't something I truly enjoy, but the topics are areas I know and love or at least have an opinion about. How do those of you stay motivated to keep on going? Maybe it's the fact that I know I have another year before I get any reward, unlike the last two years where I was getting another degree every 6-9 months, I just don't know. I have a 4.0 GPA and I don't want to blow it, but I really, really am struggling with it all. I'm in a cohort program so I can't stop or take a break, so that option is off the table.
I would love to hear from those of you who have been at this a while with what works for you. Thanks in advance for you guidance and suggestions. I wouldn't be this far without this great group, so I'm hoping to get some more great advice.

Thanks!

Just think, the average person who completes a bachelor's degree does so in 5 years. Of course, over 60% will drop long before that happens. You could just be starting your junior year if you were in traditional classes....and that's >90 credits of crap you probably are not interested in.:ack:

LOL, I realized that's probably not motivating, but sometimes we have a different lens here- just pointing out that what you have accomplished so far is phenomenal, and not to lose sight of that.
