My holidays are drawing to an end. They will fizzle out like a sparkler in exactly 63 hours and 13 minutes. In exactly 63 hours and 13 minutes, I will wake up on the first morning of semester two.
I've pretty well been there, done everything first semester. I have competed with homework, assignments, deadlines, little sleep, a new job, snobs, a dog, siblings, my mimimal social life, my tragic hair, stomach bugs, colds, boredom and dentists. Belive it or not, I competed with and emerged victorious over all of the above with the assistance of only a very basic Survival Kit.
[ Survival Kit includes:
- Toothbrush
- Chapstick
- Hair straightener
- Tissue box
- A book (any book will do)
- Herbie my laptop
- Electric blanket
- Stockings ]
I think that without heartbreak, physical injury, flat out failure, death, moving house and being fired, this year so far has included pretty well everything. I think I have enjoyed my connection with friends at least twice as much as ever before in my life, and my relationships with my teachers is very comfortable. I don't look forward to getting stuck into semester two in 63 hours and 13 minutes, but I think that because I survived semester one so well, semester two might be just that tiny bit easier.
Wow, it sounds like you went through a lot! I'm glad you have your survival kit and wonderful friends :)
ReplyDeleteOh and I was very excited about the article! She doesn't seem too thrilled about my new one so it may not be going up :p ahh well.
I have read that book, I quite liked it too! Did you have to read it during the holidays? Because that's just unfair!!
