Senioritis as a 30-something?

Is it possible to have graduated 15 years ago from high school, and 11 years ago from college and STILL suffer from senioritis? I think it just might be.

I can't believe it, but I have just three weeks left with my seniors (only 14 school days) and four and a half weeks left with my sophomores and juniors (only 21 days). I'm not quite sure where this school year went, but I'm kind of glad it is almost over because I have some SERIOUS senioritis going on. I have no motivation to grade a single thing. My poor sophomores have been bugging the dickens out of me to get their research projects back (they had the opportunity to revise them). I've had them for a week now and have no desire to look at them. My juniors turned in their journals a week ago and haven't touched them, but need to as they have another round of journals left to submit in three weeks.

I should be thrilled to grade, knowing that I'm hitting little milestones, ie: last research papers for this school year, last essays submitted by my seniors, last test before their exam, etc.

If anyone has a good cure for my senioritis, I'd love to hear what you have to say!

You know what..? You've got so much other awesome stuff going on that school/work has to take the passenger seat. I can't wait for this year to be over, just so I can start over next year!!! Just have to make it through these last few weeks!! Good luck :)

I have no cure because I have senioritis,too! I just can't wait for the summer to be here. It's been a stressful year, and I just want to be done!
