Motivation

Motivation is hard. How does one find the motivation to study for an exam in a subject one doesn't like? I know, the motivation should be that you don't want to fail again! My mistress has forfeited all her chances of improving her grades. She ended her vacation early to come up to this forsaken place and study hard. Well, she's hardly studying. There is no need to feel sorry for her. In fact, it would be really good for her if someone shook her out of this dream state. How is she going to pass this exam if all she does is sleep and worry? I've tried to tell her that she hadn's need to worry if she slept less and studied more, but she seems deaf to my advice.
I don't feel sorry for her, and I implore the rest of you not to do so either. If she complains about the amount of work to do and the lack of time, please remind her that she has had all summer to do something about it, and an addition of two whole weeks. Where is that wake up call? Where is that voice that tells you (before it's too late) to do something before you ruin your chances of passing this course? I am angry and disappointed but anger and disappointment won't secure anyone a pass grade. You are on your own mistress, and when you fail again, please explain to your very understanding parents how you managed to do so, when you have apparently been so busy studying hard every day for two weeks that you didn't even have the time to call them.
