Motivation in School

I've been at Brown College in Atlanta for two years now this past September. I'm 20 years old. I dont mean to toot my own horn but I am good at this. I have no problems increasing my speed and reading back in class. It takes me roughly 15 minutes to transcribe a five minute test. My problem is, I am seriously lacking in the motivation department. I go through ruts where I come up with all kinds of things for me to do instead of go to class. I dont understand it. Any ideas for motivating myself? 

You said the key phrase:  "I am good at this."  If you already know it, you CAN.  It would be a shame to sabotage yourself. 

Set some small goals for yourself, or whatever it takes.  Remember, too, that you'll need a sense of stick-to-itiveness to do this job once you get out of school.  So conquer this problem now.  Procrastination is a reporter's biggest enemy.

Yeah, I agree with the other reporter: the money.  But also, we are WORKING in an economy that is killing a lot of people.  I'm busier than I've ever been and am grateful for it.   GOOD LUCK!

Think of the money you'll make when you become a court reporter :)
