So i was freaking out yesterday because I just realised that I’m really not coping with the deadlines, at all. It’s truly just my luck that the school deadlines and work deadlines fall IN THE SAME WEEK and i really can’t prioritise because both are very important and I couldn’t have studied earlier (i actually tried) but NOTHING sticks in my head.
What kills me is that work is also school because it’s my internship module and it’s 40% of my final year grades. I was under the impression that i’ve got at least 40% of my grades under control. Well, I was wrong. While the job description looks straightforward enough, co-ordinating the shit is a whole different story. Worn out, I decided to give myself a break yesterday (get an MC, “trick” my doctor with stomachache), only to realise that I’ve indeed been running around with a fever. My temperature was 38.6. REALLY well, i got myself convinced that I wasn’t sick.
Don’t know how I did it but I needed to see my fav girl (this was what spurred my decision to take a break) so i hopped into a cab for brunch at Novena (where I was greeted by her twisted ankle, sweet face and *gasp* LILLIES!). After she left, I could actually feel myself getting all ill again.
So there I was feeling like a headless chicken, worried sick (literally) and when I finally met you, frazzled and shit (coz I got a shock when I saw so many emails on my work accountS), you just took my laptop opened iCal and asked me calmly; what needs to get done?
And so I told you. And you helped me color code and organise my shit together. And set new achievable deadlines for me. You even helped me out with Arts Law - since you’ve done contract law before. Funny, I taught you how to make mind maps colorful and fun last year and now you’re helping me organise my calendar, with colors, no less.
For the first time since I’ve known you, I finally believe that you do care. About me.
