Prayer for diligence and school stuff

I need prayer for school.

I've never really been able to get in a groove (so to speak) all semester, and now we're approaching crunch time.

I have a constitutional law midterm next week. A US History exam will be coming a week or so after that.

I have to have my entire Theology term paper and the first draft of my US History term paper written by the middle of April. I'm behind schedule on both compared to last semester - still lots of reading to do, I haven't even started outlining - and the history paper is on a topic assigned by the professor which I don't enjoy (instead of one I chose like last semester).

The ConLaw term paper at least is shorter and more flexible, it just has to be done sometime before the end of the course.

It doesn't help that some of my friends who tended to procrastinate and be a step behind me on these things last fall all seem to be buckling down and getting really efficient this semester. Not that I'm jealous or it's an ego thing, it just reminds me of the pressure.

And I have way more other tasks, obligations and responsibilities this semester than I did last fall.

I'm seriously stressing right now...and more than that, the past few days I've been feeling lazy, listless, and rebellious. I feel like I want spring break to come right now, but we already had spring break, and it goes deeper than that. I just want to check out and withdraw and goof off and play computer games (I just got Test Drive Unlimited, which was a mistake in terms of me being able to get things done) and sin and be irresponsible and selfish and complacent and not think about school or even God or anything.

I need God to give me diligence and self-discipline, wisdom and skill, strength and a heart for Him. Please pray for me.

I know what you mean, with the one time in the school year where you MUST buckle down and cram a whole lot of work in, is also the same time when you can feel like... you just don't want to do anything at all :/ I've been struggling myself, with motivation with projects that I've really been wanting to do, but just don't have it in me to simply even start it :/ I'll be praying for you...

Will pray. I'm in a way, feel like I'm in the same situation. I feel so behind in many things and yet, I don't feel like working on them......
