How do you get yourself back in the mood for school?

Post Reply New Topic

You may have seen my post about facing a boring summer last year, but this summer it's a bit different. It's not that I'm bored, it's just that there's some things I need to do but I just don't feel like doing. Our summer is only 6 weeks long this year and our family has been on holiday for two weeks - meaning that only four weeks are remaining of potential enjoyment. 4 weeks. Not a lot really, is it? What is just holding me back and making me feel dissatisfied is the fact that my holiday is not entirely work free (I'm going to be in Year 11 next year) and I have to do some coursework and a few practice questions.

I have to do:

Geography Fieldwork (Introduction, Methodology, and Results. This includes collecting samples from the local river.)
History Coursework (Avebury coursework, I have to have a go at it, although I don't have notes for all of the sources, and I won't do until September)
ICT Coursework (A project involving a website with lots of documents. Although a lot of it is finished; I still need to finish off some things involving feedback and filling the mark scheme. However, in the award ceremony at the end of Year 10, I got the Highest Achiever in ICT, so do I need to worry about this too much?)
English Questions (Our teacher gave us 4 mini-essay type questions to analyse certain characters in a book that we're reading. Despite the fact the teacher said that it wasn't mandatory to do, I feel that she may say that she's disappointed if I decided not to do at least one of the questions)

Having this work to do over the summer makes me feel that this is not a summer holiday, but a prolonged half-term. And after a stressful year with revision and coursework I'm not in the mood to do work! I just want to relax!

So to prevent worrying about this, how can I get myself back in the mood for work, like I was last summer? Does anyone know a free calendar planning software so I can schedule things for certain dates with reminders popping up (apart from Microsoft Outlook?)?

Also I don't feel like thinking very much so my memory has lapsed slightly. Does anyone know anything to overcome this (apart from Brain Training?)?

God, that's the last thing I want to talk about.

I hate school, and I only have 1 month left of relaxing time.

I don't want to go back and suffer another year of hatred, torment and misunderstanding.

I really do want to kill myself before the day I am meant to go back.

don't Then you'll miss all your future summer vacations.

Do you have induction days at school? Because if your year is not in for that day, but another one is, you could try phoning them up and solving the problems.

But DON'T consider killing yourself. Us Aspies are renowned for being intelligent and outsmarting the delinquents that we call NTs!

Alternative, you have to live to prove to yourself that you do not deserve to bring yourself down to bullies' levels. People who torment you do so because they have not taken the time to get to know you, besides what they see and hear from others. Chances are, half of the people who bully you do not do so because they hate, or even dislike you;but because they do not want to be different and bullied themselves. I hope that someday you will be able to look back and smile at how far you have come
