The stressful life of being a student

Another blog, the 10th one! Hitting those milestones now, shows the commitment. So, it's Sunday and tomorrow will be the start of my last week of Semester A at university. It seems like it's gone so quick but again so slow. Very peculiar I reckon, I mean it seems ages since I first moved in and met my flatmates for the first time, yet it seems like only a few weeks ago I was learning my first topics about my course. Maybe because they are two different situations it seems different, or I could just be too weird to think this.

To be quite frank, I cannot wait for this week to be over then I can rest for a couple of weeks before starting to revise all over again. Since Halloween the motivation for uni has just been drained out of me and this week has really taken a toll on me. I cant wait until I get home and see all my family again and just get away from it all a bit. Although now I'm working I will be back and forth from home to work. So it wont be completely getting away from it all. I do like work at the moment, it hasnt been too demanding, just long and its going to take some getting used to having 9 hour shifts. I think that's where the stress has come from, I dont mean it in a bad way because I enjoy working and there are some nice people I've met already but my mate pointed it out that getting used to juggling work, uni and socialising and chill time has taken its toll on me from my first week. Which is a fair point as not really done it before. Still better now than never and I'm getting a nice monetary reward out of it too. Good for a student who has no money.

So yeah, I didnt want to but I'm now entering into my overdraft. However I'm a student so it's practically illegal not to. I'm also not bothered about this either as I am getting paid from my job in a couple of weeks. So I'll be out of it in no time. Although I am being sensible about it, I'm not stupid. That bit was for my mum and dad, who are likely to read this and then lecture me about being sensible with my money etc, you know we all have been lectured about things you already know. You tell your parents that you know this and they always give the same answer back "I know you do, but I'm just making sure...".

But this weekend has been a bit of a drained weekend for me, mainly because I got to sleep on Friday night/Saturday morning at 8am then woke up at 12 to go to football which was a complete disaster. 6 of the original squad didnt turn up and we had to fill in with 16 year old kids that dont have a clue. We had an injured player in goal, who definitely isnt a keeper. 7-0 at half time before he came out on pitch and put an actual keeper in his place. We lost 8-0 in the end so it did prove a point. I didnt help either though as I was so physically drained from the night before of doing nothing. I didnt even have an excuse that I was out or anything I just did not sleep. Still its over now and a new week, lets hope it goes quickly and I get through to Christmas as soon as possible. I cannot wait for Christmas.

That's all folks! Hope everyone is alright.
