I Start Univeristy this Month

Talk about this fact hitting me like a big yellow school bus! It felt like just yesterday that I was blowing off looking up my Course Outlines and thinking, “I have months to do this”, when now, all I have are a few weeks. It has kind of freaked me out with how quickly it has come up. My two free days a week are all of a sudden going to become 8 am - 8pm hour days and my weekends are no longer going to be chilled out times and all spare hours of my day are going to be taken up by studying and oh my god I think I’m having a minor panic attack.

I am super happy and relieved that I have managed to find a workplace that is so flexible with my university hours and decisions. This was a major thing for me as there was no way I could not afford to work and even though I could have easily found a job bussing tables down at the local cafe or something of the likes, I’m way too fussy and picky for that. It would have been a nightmare for me, and for everyone around me as I have a tendency to become very moody if I spend more than a few days being miserable. I know, I’m such a selfish person! But in all actuality, I feel super lucky to have been privy to this, when so many others have not had this amazing opportunity when picking their potential employers.

I have gotten so used to having such an easy going lifestyle - 4 day weekend with 3 days a week work with a better-than-your-average-18-year-old-uni-student’s salary and spare time coming out of ass. This is all going to change on the 27th of February, 2012. I really think it is going to be a massive shock to my system, seeing as I have settled into my current lifestyle so well. I can’t imagine someone much older than me that has been working full time since they finished high school and deciding when they were mid-20’s they wanted to go on to tertiary education. That must have been an even bigger shock to the system, and I applaud their courage and bravery for it.

I want to know if there is anybody out there that has done this, and how they have gone at it. I need some pep talk!!
