So not long ago here in Iceland the glow of summer started giving way to the darkness of winter and yet again I see myself starting to slip. I've heard about something called winter depression but I doubt I experience that, yet at the end of every summer when the winter is approaching I tell myself any tardiness is just me being lazy and that I should simply not be lazy, you can probably tell that doesn't work.

Honestly it baffles me how one can be so productive over the summer yet spend winter days curling up in bed with a good book and no drive and motivation to do anything. On my last maths test I got a 3 (out of 10), on the one before it I got a 10, also I just took a Icelandic test and realized I hadn't read any of the chapters related to the test (it is a course where we read the Brennu Njála) and I walked out of it having just guessed on all of the check-box questions while skipping the written ones, on the last Icelandic test I got a 9,5.

And I don't even feel like panicked about it because I could just about foresee it happen, because it happened last year and the year before and the year before... etc.

Which brings us to our poll, how many others experience something similar ? And is this something I should just accept or have I just been developing a lazy mindset and an excuse to slack off every winter ?
