Gasping for Air

"Life is tough."

I need to get rid of these negativity.

>>"Life is challenging but I am up for the challenge."

Yes, I graduated. Before I officially end my student life, I am (slightly) packed with work, but mostly occupied by volunteering or society event. What make things worse is you got a team without synergy. So I "study-work-'work'", missing the "rest.

As a student we struggle to get a part time job, seeking balance between studying and working. Once you graduated, is only about working. Then you start to cater for work-life balance. I used to dream to become a freelancer. I can work whenever I want, wherever I want. I can choose to work when everyone is busying shopping, and shop when the rest working. Yet, reality is just too realistic. I end up need to take day off without pay just to see doctor or pickup parcel, since post office close exactly at 5pm. Spending without income. Nonetheless, I am still grateful I got a job (disregarding the pay).

So, I thought I finally can "work-rest", and I can give in the fact that I need to day day off just to do pick up from post office. Thanks to the urge to stay and the pressed for time, I enrolled into weekendS class. Note, is with the S. So I work 9-5 weekdays and need to study 20 hours from 8am-6.30pm on both Saturday and Sunday. I cant be "anti social", so I have to meet up and keep in touch with the rest during dinner. Let's embed the return commuting and travelling time for about 1 to 2 hours per day (depending where is the dinner/grocery venue), and all these block-off time, with the assumption of me sleeping 6-7hours per day...I wonder how long I can hang on to it.

Stay Strong!
