Problems, Solutions & some Goals, too!

So I finally figured out that I could type in different colors! ha.. yay me! Wait 'till the last few days of bloggin for me to finally get it all figured out.
Anyways, my problem currently is that I have no motivation to do anything. I pretty much have senior-itis already! I just keep sliding by with an acceptable grade and doing halfway decent work when I know I could be doing better that I'm doing. I've taken to studying the morning of the test and the few minutes before and although that's working really well, it's not all that acceptable on my own personal standards. I still get everything done that I need to, but not to the best of my ability.
My solution to this problem is to find something to get me more excited about doing the best I possibly can. I hope to study more than the morning before a test, do my assignments as correctly as I can without shortening answers, and just being more upbeat about my classes in general. In some classes my lack of work ethic is showing, I don't want to be remembered as the girl who just slid by her senior year because she got bored with school.
My goals are to apply for nursing school and write the best essays I can to get accepted and get enough money to attend a private school. So far I'm doing pretty well because my applications are almost done, my essays are getting to where they need to be, and I'm also applying for many scholarships to get all the money I can. One of my ultimate goals is to just be happy. I'm accomplishing this one as well because I live each day as it comes and don't sweat the small stuff. Things that could possibly get in my way are cast aside because being a happy person is a major goal of mine.
