Well next semester I'm taking a lot of really hard classes (statistics, organic chemistry, philosophy, business administration, and history). I will have class twice (sometimes three times) a day five times a week.
I'm feeling quite overwhelmed, and the semester hasn't even started yet. Taking less (or trading for other classes) is not an option.
I have a little (no, HUGE) procrastination problem. I mean its horrible. I'm hoping that because I'm taking so many units I won't have time to procrastinate, but I really am not so sure about that.
How do I stay focused and motivated to study and do homework? I really want to give it my all this semester (because I learn what I can get away with to pass the class, and I always do, but I just don't have enough A's on my transcript). I really want to be a hard working diligent student next semester. How do I do that?
Oh, and I understand I won't be able to have a social life (or any life really), if I'm going to be that hard working. Study groups don't work for me whatsoever.
