Hey there, studious people,
Do you know what burnout is? If you have been studying for a long, long time without a break, and you feel unmotivated and "blah", then you are probably suffering from burnout. You are burnt out. This often happens in the middle of a final semester of study.
There are ways to combat burnout. One way is to take a complete break: unfortunately none of us can take this option at this stage of the semester! Another way to fight the midterm bleargh is to find creative ways to study. Reading a good book is often just as good a way to study as looking over grammar points; in fact, it is probably better for your overall writing style, and it is much more fun. Homework has to be done, but maybe you can do your homework with friends. Find a quiet corner of the Project Factory or library at school, and declare a homework session or study club.
I feel it too. I don't WANT to do any work. Especially now that cold weather is here, I just want to curl up with a good book and not leave the house again until April. Or May, if the snow is still around. But I believe that we can get through this, and that you all will go on to better things.

"burnout."this word or definition exactly describes me:(
Yes, I agree.
Reading a book or solving a sudoku makes me better. Those things are good for distress also, so I found my sudoku book and put it in my bag again:))
If we knew what 's comes after mid term we can try to cope our stress and focus a little more. But "burnout" is our cousin in lifetime for example every little thing is meant something you can work for it! So what the other option it is to believe yourself 100% plus "burnout".
