Weekends are typically my worst time.
Sure I find uni stressful, but the only thing more stressful is too much time to myself to sit and ruminate and start going round and round in my head (which is what I tend to do on weekends). With Monday off that gives me a three day weekend every week. Yuck. I would rather have two days of work followed by a day off followed by two days of work followed by two days off etc. But still, I shouldn't complain I suppose.Damned 9.00 class tomorrow. Yucko.
(I know I shouldn't complain - I don't know what real work is!!!)

Understand completely. I usually try to stop the unhappygoround by reading, works better sometimes than others. Around here they wonder why I don't take holidays, but it's just an extension of the same problem. I've currently got around 35 days of annual leave & 80 of long service. The whole "get out there and enjoy yourself" thing is just so completely foreign to me. Worse still, if I do actually manage to go to a movie or something - I spend the rest of the day beating myself up about it. But I'm not strange or anything =0)

It's a free world, complain away :-)
Trust me you're not missing anything other than the money.I'm usually in at 7:30am, can't handle the crowds on the bus and train later in the morning peak. At least it means I can ease myself in in relative peace and quiet.
Have a great day tomorrow okay, I'll be sure to send you lots of positive thoughts around 5:30 -6am (my time).
Let me know how it goes.

Hmm. I have decided that I am glad to be back :-)
I was getting BORED
That was the problem
BORED
Unmotivated
Not doing anything productive for months now.
But now I am feeling better.
Want to get into my thesis
(Now that I have other stuff to be doing)
Why does it always work like that???But it is ok.
Though tuts don't start till Friday.
And next week properly.
Still.
First week is always the hardest
(encountering each class for the first time)
But it will be ok.
I remember how terrified I was the first time I did that.
It isn't anywhere near as bad now.
Can fill in for other people when they are sick
And I don't worry about it too much.
I am glad to be back :-)

Glad to hear it.
Ah yes the boredom beast, I know it well. It's one of the worst things about work work - the sameness of every single day, the total lack of stimulation (your challenging posts aside!) and meaningful production. It's also one of time-off troubles too. Don't know why but it seems to come in waves, I'll be doing fine and then suddenly out of nowhere CRASH, BANG WOLLOP megaboredom and the unhappygoround.Did it tough yesterday, had to meet with my boss to discuss my goals and development plan for the year -YUK!!!!!!!!!!!! As you can imagine I'm not exactly an easy person to lead. Funny how every time I say "But I'm trying." They respond "Yes, very!" =0)
I honestly don't know why it is that sometimes we need to be doing something else to boost us to get something else done. You'd think the lack of other things would create a perfect space for action but more often than not it just seems to create a vacuum where nothing much happens at all.
Just glad you're okay. You might not realise it but you're someone very special and you bring so much to so many lives. They're luck to have you there, as we are and I am to have you here.
If you're finding it hard just imagine me at the back of the class pulling stupid faces to make you laugh >:-/
Go with love dear girl, each and every day go with love.
