GOSH ! Time flies by soooo damn quickly ! I fell like I didn't have a minute for myself in 3 months. January : exams. They seem to have been good, better than expected actually ... even though I'm still waiting for one grade that, I hope, we'll get before our second round of exams in May/June. Let's be optimistic, for once. :)
February : is actually - together with september - the month where you think you'll be relaxed as it's just a new semester starting, classes schedules finding their place and courses introductions. But ... not this year ! Dude, I've got so much work to do, it's crazy. Haven't seen that ever in my student life. The weird thing is that ULB teachers, who usually work more with the combination of passive classes+exams, seem now to have passed the word among them to charge us with as much assignments as they can imagine during the semester. It's simple, I think I've maybe had 3 full days, just for me, since the semester started. It's a 7/7 schedule, no weekends allowed !
March : see February.
Consequences of all this are that, first, it's really good !!! I feel like I'm learning more, and in a more useful way. And ok, I'm flat all the time but it's good tiredness. But, secondly, it's so damn exhausting that, even though I work all the time, I always feel like I'm late and that I have to hurry up if I wanna be able to keep up with that schedule. It's true I think I've never been that busy ever ! Aside from classes, I've also involved myself a bit more actively in association life (student newspaper in project, organizing conferences and the Young European Federalists Brussels section in building). It's very interesting and I get to meet very different people. It's great ! But I'm so tired everytime I get home (which is rarely before 10pm). I've got an agenda so full I barely find time to do my laundery or groceries anymore. I need a househusband, I think. Any volunteers ? :D
All this is new and exciting/exhausting but it brings with itself the inconvenience that I barely have a social life anymore, outside of the associations, I mean. I forgot what it's like to go shopping or go to the theater or an exhibition. I barely get to see my friends and family. And don't even start me on the dating topic ! :P But well, I guess you can't have it all, right? Unless we'd have 34hours days. It would be so awesome ! But hey, I should be glad I still get to sleep a bit. :) It's already a huge relief.
