My motivation within the education system has taken a plummet as well. It's anticipation for a great day, a fresh start. Then it's realization that this day is most likely not going to be very much different from the last few hundred mundane days.
You've got to wonder why we must all be cranked through the stress mongering system while it vehemently teaches that everyone in the world is diverse and subject to their own special needs.
*sigh* Sometimes I wish I could go back to the time where it was perfectly acceptable for a young man to be perched on top of a tree, gazing off into the sunset...but wait, there's an essay due next morning
