God! School's been going on for a few weeks but it felt longer. Much much longer. Life as a student's much tougher than b4.. mainly because it is an 'insertion' of 'an old chapter' in a present 'story'. At a different stage of life and with other commitments and roles.. it aren't easy. Tough. I felt life was harder as a student than a working adult. Not only do I have to take care of family, chores, my dad, my boy, time for my hubby and some time for myself (don't really have), school work or projects killed me. 9 modules and 18 projects. I see my neck hanging. I felt guilty because whatever spare time I have devotes to my homework and I don't really have time for my son or hubby and not even myself. Is this fair?
Here's a summary of my typical day.
6 to 7 am - Wake up. Depends on my boy.
7 to 8 am - Bathe Zorian, prepares all his milk, food. Shower, change then rush to school.
9 to 4/6 pm - School lesson ends. If end earlier will hibernate in the library. If not, rush home.
7 to 8 pm - Reach home to relieve mum from Zorian. Mum will cook while I play with Zorian.
8 to 10.30 pm - Play and change Zorian into his sleepsuit. 'My own time' starts when Zorian Zz.
10.30 pm - Eat dinner and shower.
11.30 pm - Start to do homework.
11.30 to 3/4am - Do homwork. Half dead by now.
3/4 am - Sleep.
4 to 6am - Sleep gets disrupted as Zorian wakes/cries intermittenly.
Looking at my day. I can't help to wonder how I survive.

I kinda understand what you are going through...When i was working and studying, worked till 7pm+, go for lessons + eat dinner in class, then go back to office till 2/3am again.... then the next day repeats itself again, including weekends ... I feel suffocated all the time.
Try to carve some time out if possible. Spend time with loved ones + catch up on some sleep (if possible). We are humans afterall, we cannot function like a machine everyday.
You will definitely come out to be a stronger person. It's no doubt challenging, but you will see the fruits of labour sometime down the road! Hang on tight...its gonna be a few years, but time will fly past without you knowing and faith will see you through.
*Take care & hugs*
