Time hurries forward
I have been back for a few weeks now, been through 1 term break and about to embark for another term break.
Term break, as many have noticed by now, has never really been any form of a break to most students, and this one was no different. I signed up for what I called “intensive Japanese” (it’s not, really), while struggling to stay motivated to do all my anatomy and physiology readings and so on.
Some days, I feel so stretched. I feel like I am really not doing anything, just passively watching the world pass by into exams period. It makes me feel all claustrophobic, anxious and just straight into panic mode.
Then, I had read something and go, hey, I know this, and calm down a little. And, while this happens often enough, I still have moments where I wonder if I was just taking all these just a little too lightly.
In a reversal of last semester, work is now my solace away from university, while my nursing subjects are now my relief from Japanese. It is not a bad thing, and I don’t hate one more than the other nor am I enjoying one less than the other. The comparison lies more in the stress levels.
I can’t wait for the holidays to come, can’t wait to do absolutely nothing at all… So people, don’t mind me if I start rejecting any forms of meet ups and parties in that period!
Current Mood: stressed
