overworked

since end of april, it's been all about meeting deadlines, assignments and studies
it's worse this semester
had came back from rural attachment a fortnight ago,
since then, classes have been from 8 to 5.30pm monday, tuesday and friday [wed and thurs being up to 2 plus only]
had to pass up the rural group project last friday
had to pass up behaviour change project on monday
had SPC presentation on tues morning..5 hours?!!
today had practice VIA

with 2 projects due in 12 days time...and another 7-8 due by 19th october
my back's against the wall
my body's telling me it's overworked
my mind is protesting half heartedly
but this madness has to go on and build up for exactly 2 more months

will i survive???
these past few months i've only been doing so by GOD's grace
keeping afloat, pending things up within myself.....it's all taking a toll
yesterday was the harshest warning yet from my body


someone mentioned how worried they were about the frequency of my dreams
they don't know but it's just the tip of the iceberg...
only YOU and YOU alone can give me endurance


i n e e d H E L P

just came home form rural...am tired, and a whole mix of other emotions
heavly laden with homework, i;ve still got time to do these quizzes....
someone help me study and finish assignments, please!!!

just a random thought-with somemany views about friendship, boy-girl attraction and something else which i forgot about..i wonder what do u feel about this topic???

also when you meet someone for the first time, does their image or personality affect your first time impression?????

i honestly wanna compile ur answers and put them into a blog cuz

• for the first topic, things have changed so much that i'm bewildered when it comes to these things.
• let's just say i'm doing a bit of research on it

so tell me ur views and we'll see ya??

You Are a Good Friend Because You're Loyal

You stick with your friends no matter what, even if you feel like they're doing the wrong thing.You believe in letting people figure out their own path in life. It's not your place to interfere. And part of your loyalty means that you'll do a lot for your friends. You definitely go the extra mile.You'll even do great things for friends without them asking. After all, that's what friendship is all about. You are truly a friend for life. And you have friends you've known since you were a kid.Your friends can count on you to do a favor, remember a birthday, or just be there to listen. Your friends need you most when: They can't turn to anyone else You really can't be friends with: Fickle people who change friends quickly Your friendship quote: "Friendship doubles your joys, and divides your sorrows."
