Long ago when I was a college student and an English major (neither of which I was really all that good at), I found that, in the last semester of my senior year I developed something they call "Senioritis." I had a lot of papers to write that semester and I found myself sitting at my computer the night before said papers were due just starting blankly at the monitor thinking, "I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this." And the next thing I knew, it would be 2 a.m. and I had written one paragraph of a 15 page paper. Oh, it is a terrible thing to be stricken with senioritis.
If you look Google this word, most websites will tell you that it usually applies to high school students. I seriously disagree and postulate that senioritis can affect anyone at anytime period in her life. When I say her, I mean me. I'm supposed to be revising my revenue forecast for my boss right now and I find myself sitting here thinking, "I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this." Since I've never been much of a planner, always more of a fly by the seat of my pants kind of girl, is it any wonder I don't enjoy forecasting? Especially when it involves numbers and I was an ENGLISH MAJOR!?? (with a WRITING minor) (and when I say WRITING, I mean poems and stories)
Sometimes I feel like I am just a big faker and that one day everyone I work with is going to realize that I don't know what the heck I am doing and that I am not in the least bit qualified for my job and then they are going to take it away from me. See? This is what happens when you get Senioritis and you aren't in school anymore. It's an ugly thing people. And ugly thing.
