I was in the last SoC, and would really like to try again this time, however, I've been suffering from a huge lack of motivation in the past eight months. Like, I *want* to enjoy coding, and think up various cool things to do, but once I actually sit down to do it, all enthusiasm evaporates. It's very frustrating. And it feels irresponsible to apply for the SoC when at present I'm not even sure if I would have the motivation to carry through with it. (In this respect, the earlier start caught me with my pants thoroughly down; I was expecting to have another month or so to get myself together).

So, should I apply anyways? Or better, any idea how to deal with this damnable psychological thingie that appears to have gotten ahold of me?
