Serious Lack of Motivation

This is something I absolutely lack in certain areas.
It just boggles my mind why I can be so lazy sometimes.
I don't understand why a bad test mark, or even a bad grade in a project will make me pick up my work habits. But yet I continue with my same habits every day.

This calls for a change.
I tell myself this every day-- work harder... try harder, STUDY. But I just cannot do it.
I am dragged into the world of pleasure, and I find it hard to get out.
Whether is talking to friends on msn, reading a book or even sleeping... It always takes away my time from doing the stuff I should be doing.
My homework.
I just cannot seem to do it, and it kills me.

For example-- today I was to work on nothing but my homework, and what did I end up doing?
sleeping.
Its ridiculous and I have to change it.

When I recieved my bad test marks... all I could say was "I have to study more"
but what am I doing now? writing on this damn blog page.
Its some sort of problem I have and I cannot get out of it!


I need to motivate myself SO much more, but I just don't know how to.
