Hey guys. Im in my last few weeks of school before graduating. I have been feeling unmotivated. I feel like ai am completing assignments at the last minute even though I turn them in on time and start a day early. I feel anxious when I have assignments due. I beat myself up mentally for not being on time, although I always am on time. I feel as though I have nothing to look forward to.

turning assignments right on time is still turning them in on time. your logical brain is still communicating to you that even though you aren’t being more prompt as you may used to be you’re still ahead of school. there are so many ways we lie to ourselves that we aren’t up to our own standards even if we still are way above the standards we’ve been assigned. how to correct this distortion, I do not know, it’s definitely a stress you are putting on yourself. The paranoia seems like some type of hyper vigilance but I’m not a doctor. you’re doing a great job and remind yourself of that fact. good luck.

I don't know where you are, (I'm in Britain) and I understand the feeling of waiting on getting fully qualified, although the system was different back in the 70s. We used to get our results in the post, and my husband dumped a big brown envelope on the bed; I just sat there looking at it. He had to open it for me as I was so scared!

We did our training in hospitals, Blocks of studies interspersed with practical work on the wards and clinics. We also rotated around hospitals for different specialities. And, best of all, we got paid!

You'll feel better once you graduate, Have you had any Recruitment fairs yet?

Cheers, Midori
