What A Wonderful Start

Ive just started back at uni for my third year and yet again the inevetable strikes! Im ill.

Call it freshers flu or whatever you will, the fact remains that apart from the end of the year, this is by far the worst time to catch something. We have new projects, new timetables and we have to get back into our uni routine. This can be unusually stressful, and is now even more so due to the fact that i feel like death reheated on a three bar fire.

I need to be enthusiastic about my work, i should be full of life, raring and ready to go, but im not. Im finding it difficult even speaking without my throat feeling like its had a wire brush rammed down it.

Live your life?

It was in The Devil Wears Prada where they said it and it has always been in my mind ever since; 'Let me know when your personal life goes up in smoke, that means its time for a promotion'. It makes me wonder, can you have a perfect balance between work and your personal life? I dont think so, ive not experienced it, one of them will always take priority, its not always a bad thing but cant be very helthy if its constant. Im saying this because ive got that kind of thing happening to me right now, i dont really have a personal life because of the amount of work i have, and i know the work will be worth it in the end, but it makes me sad that i cant have a life until ive left uni.
