I am in need of some serious motivation. Last semester I did pretty well but was a bit disappointed with my grade in Intermediate I. It wasn't a bad grade by all means but just not up to my own expectations. Over the break, I began obsessing about the Spring Semester. I knew it was going to be a tough semester. I am taking two Accounting courses..well technically three and the basic Legal Studies class. Having two accounting classes is bad enough but I have them almost back to back and the professor I got for legal studies is supposed to be very hard. I know it sounds like I'm just being a complainer (OK so I am being a complainer) but I have really worked my self up over the Spring semester. I know I need to do well and really want to but after the first two weeks of class I am really worried. Nothing seems to be sinking in and I'm finding myself dreading homework (more than usual). I need a good swift kick in the bottom and hopefully will get one soon. I can't afford to fall behind this early in the semester. My plan is to reach deep down and find the self motivation I need to get myself in gear and start studying until my brain is saturated with all that is accounting.
School is not the only place in my life I need some motivation. I also need to start a strict diet and exercise regimen. I weigh more than I have ever in my life (not that I have ever been tiny). It is really taking its toll physically, emotionally and in every way possible. I am not even 30 yet but my knees feel like that of a 50 year old. I won't get into the other lovely things that come with being overweight but lets just say my self-esteem has plummeted greatly. I want to lose weight but at the same time I am not motivated to do the work. I know that I have no excuses and have many reasons I should be motivated but I just haven't been able to start. I talked my husband into getting a water filter for our faucet in the anticipation that I was going to start drinking water but that hasn't happened. Last year we bought a Wii fit so I could exercise but I haven't even used it. I do love the Wii Sports game ...so maybe I will start playing it more. I also have started cutting down my soda intake and substituting it for tea (OK so its sweet tea and I know that is not much better but I am trying to ween my self onto water). I have also started drinking more fruit juice (yes I do know that it is full of sugar but hey I don't really eat fruits so it is better than nothing ....right?....hmm). Anyway, you can tell that I am in need of some serious motivation and support. If you can hear me out there I need a Motivation Coach...someone to cheer me on "Debit, Debit, Debit but don't forget the Credit, Credit, Credit (OK I realize that this is a bad accounting joke but hey I couldn't come up with a better cheer ok...I wasn't on the cheer leading squad in high school.)"
So, what I am trying to say is I am accepting applications. Applicants need to be strict, tough, and have access to a large boot.
Thanks,
Melissa Danielle Smith
P.S. If you are confused by the names don't worry you aren't the only one. Melissa is my birth given first name. If you met me anywhere from birth to 12th grade you probably know me by my middle name Danielle. If you just recently met me in college than you know me by Melissa. I swear that I do not have multiple personalities (so forget what you have heard about me).
