xanithofdragonsLast week I was working on a paper and a friend reminded me that I didn't really have to do the paper, that even if I didn't do it, everything would still be okay. And it's true. It's a paper in a class I don't need to graduate. I don't want to fail a class my last semester, but it's true that things won't really be too bad even if I do (as long as it's not that one class I actually need to finish my major ^^;)
I really needed that reminder that I didn't have to write the paper, because that freed me to remember that I wanted to write the paper. I feel like, with school work, if I think, "I have to do this" then it seems like more of a burden than anything, but if I can think, "I want to do this" then it's easier to motivate myself. Like, if I think "I want to do this" it's more internal motivation and even if it's stressful it's still something I'm choosing, rather than "I have to do this" being something I'm doing because the professor told me and being more external motivation in this case. ^^
I'm glad that for the two classes I have major projects in this semester are getting us to have at least some of it finished before the whole thing is do with drafts and presentations. I'm so bad and procrastinate. >_<
And I remembered while writing this post that I previously made a post about an entirely different "I want to" vs "I have to" set of feelings, lol. I guess it's something on my mind.
Oh yeah, before I forget to mention it here, I preordered the LE of Arashi's upcoming single release. I'm still sad that I have to wait on their DVD being released this week. I only have the money for something like a single but not for a dvd. T_T I need to find work soon after graduation and get money. >_< I used ordering the single as a bit of motivation. I was in a really good mood after ordering it and thought, "I can work hard because of Arashi!" xD This is something I feel like I can only say to other idol fans. I'm still not working hard enough though. orz
Speaking of motivation, this site has helped me some. Shuzo is so wonderful. ^^
