Hello,
I am finishing up my fourth year (technically my third, but that is another story). I am really burned out and I am really starting to dislike my classes, and my grades have reflected that. I haven't failed anything yet, but I got a C in both quarters of Analytical Mechanics and a C in the first quarter of E&M. I really want to pull myself out of this pit, but I have no confidence in myself to do any better than I am. I used to be near the top of my lower division classes, but since my butt got kicked in mechanics I lost whatever momentum I had. The issue seems to be a combination of apathy and poor exam skills (which are a result my my apathy, since I used to be good at exams). Now I am coming up on another quarter of E&M and the first of QM along with a couple other classes I will do well in (electrical engineering course and data acquisition).
I enjoy research and experiment but I am learning to hate the theory classes I am taking and I can't wait to be through with them. I need help! Motivation, study tips, anything. All suggestions are welcome! Thanks.
