Only Three More Weeks of This...

And I don't particularly mean my internship. I mean everything. I mean, this is hard. School is hard.

It's not that I don't feel like I can do what needs to be done. It's just not easy.

I'm trying to keep up with everything that I have to do and there just seems to be an endless dump of work from my teachers. The devotionals I expected, and I'm finishing up the last parts of it tonight. But I've already pulled 2 all-nighters this week and I'm flirting with another one tonight. This can't be good for me.

I'm really excited about a lot of the work I'm doing, and I'm kind of excited about graduation. But I think I always pictured my last semester differently. I expected more of a victory lap than having to battle through the last mile of a marathon. Last semester I had a part time job on top of all of my work, and I thought that was bad. But this semester I've been pulling at least one all nighter a week since some time in mid February. Who does that?

I think I'm the victim (or culprit) of some poor scheduling this semester. But I'm going to pull through. I know I can make this, as hard as it is.

Ok, that's all the work I had to vent about. But this semester has just been hard. Two days ago one of my best friends was laid off from Campus Ministry Staff. So now that's two of my close friends who've been fired from there for one reason or another in the last two years. It's not that this affects me that much, but on top of all the work, it hasn't made things any easier.

Sometimes I feel like I'm venting too much on this blog. Maybe that's true, I don't know. But really, when I think of all I'm doing right now, it's all I can do to get by. I need some kind of release valve. I might make it sound worse than it is, but I don't think any job I'll have when I get out of here will be worse than this. If it is, I don't think there's any way I would take it.

So yea, there's my incoherent word of advice for the day: don't take a job that burns you out.

I can't wait until summer.
