i seem to be suffering a mini burntout every single week, and i've concluded that its probably unhealthy.
it starts on wednesday night, when i realize that i seem to have an immense amount of work to do that is due on thursday and Friday, with pretty much at least one midterm every damn week from now til school ends.
life sucks.
i've got to admit that it does, because i simply do not have time for myself anymore.
i don't spend much, except on food and coffee.
and i probably ingest much more caffeine than i should. what what the hell. c'est typique de l'ingenieur. c'est dommage.
i felt really crabby this morning and miserable. i always feel like shit when i don't get enough sleep. and by this i mean at least 6 or 7 good solid hours. and i've been sleeping an average of 5 or 5.5 hours this week. and i hate waking up at 5 am in the morning just because i have homework that needs to get done. i hate not enjoying some quiet time eating breakfast, lunch or dinner simply because i'll be rushing work/studying.
and i guess that i shouldn't be complaining so much just because i had a choice and i took a chance. and i must admit that if i were ever to go through cheme again, i would want to do it with my current friends in chem e now. its them that keeps me going, every single second.
i need to break away from my monotonous lifestyle and start living again.
i'm getting more involved with engineers without borders (EWB) and i'm really excited about that. we are doing a project (think digging wells) in a village/school in uganda, and i think that it will be a really good experience.
i was also thinking about volunteering at a homeless shelter in minneapolis, serving food to the people there. should be quite fun too.
i dread the thought of working life, where it'll be 9-5 (or more) every single day. i hope i get to do something exciting/fun every single day.
i'll post pictures of my bday etc soon. once blogger starts getting faster.
