I'm turning 30 tomorrow. I don't have any plans to celebrate, though it seems like one of those birthdays that calls for something special. Maybe I will bring cupcakes to studio or see if some of my classmates want to go out to dinner. My hair stylist said I should join her and her friends for karaoke. I don't know about that. I should get work done tomorrow night too. When there's so much to do, it seems I only rest when I start to break down.
Figuring out how to balance the workload in my three classes and my 20 hour a wekk job and a yoga practice to help me get through it has been a challenge. Three classes wouldn't be so bad by themselves. The tricky part is these classes have on-going projects for the rest of the semester as opposed to work that I can do the night before each class. Some sort of schedule of when I am going to get what done might help too. I've tried making one up, but somehow it falls short of being effective.
I haven't put any work into securing a future after graduation, which worries me. However, I've been too concerned with the present. My family tells me everything will be ok, and it will. I just feel awkward about moving in with Mom and Dad until I can get settled in postgraduate life part II. Part I was easy. I took one month off and had a job and apartment lined up. This time around it will be a bit more taxing emotionally.
Everything will be ok if I can stay centered, know what to do when, and not freak out.
