School Rebellion
I'm not sure what the deal is, but I'm annoyed with school this semester. Maybe it's from doing so much of it so quickly. I've been drowning in assignments, getting sick every ten seconds, and half-assing my work. My GPA is taking a pounding. I don't think I'll wind up with anything below a B+, put my GPA until now has been 4.0. It would have been nice to keep it up there, but I'm completely disenchanted with the reindeer games. The readings are mostly dull, the teachers don't know how to engage, and nobody knows how to assess students beyond assigning yet another 10-page paper. Of course, I could work harder in spite of all that, and the payoff would be that I'd feel better about my efforts, but... whatever. My focus is on getting ready to student teach, and there are a lot of things for which I feel unprepared. I wish the program offered more classes about teaching and fewer about yet more research papers. Only 4 weeks to go.

I'm suffering a similar malaise. I think it might be normal, especially if you were in school all summer as well. It's the end of a year of school. Fortunately, one of my classes kicks so much ass.
Keep your nose to the grindstone! You can do it!
Oh yeah, there's no quitting.
You're probably right that it's just because it's been an entire year. I hope the month between the end of this semester and the start of student teaching is enough to recharge my excitement.
I've found that I am sick of school myself - I was so excited to go back to Grad school and finish my Master's, but so many of the classes are completely disconnected from the reality of the classroom.
Keep working ahrd and push through it! It sucks now but will be very worth it in the end!
