Don't rub me the wrong way today
If you had one wish free today, what would you wish for? I realise I should be politically correct and wish for world peace, but right now, I just want it to be friggin November and my degree to be over and no more study til 1am nights and get up early the next morning and look like shit and pretend I'm great and there's nowhere I'd rather be than at work. I want a job which is as challenging as the one I have now but less time consuming and stressful and with no pain in the arse clients and dramas that I worry about on the weekend. A job from which I can go home at 5pm like a friggin normal person and drink a glass of wine and cook some pasta or go for dinner with friends or chill out in front of the TV with popcorn. And what the hell, I also want a few months paid holiday to travel and do sweet nothing. Alright, I admit that was more than one wish. I'm sure you've already gathered that I'm kind of over it today.

Thank you, Mystic, I do hope so. I used to pride myself on the fact that I'm a bit of a geek who loves uni, but since I've started working full-time, it's just been getting a bit out of hand and all too much... But as you said, it will be over soon enough. Fingers crossed.

Hmm, cross the days off the calendar and soon those big red crosses are more than the days left to go. Try and squeeze some me time on in there too ... even if its only a half hour a day. Do something just for you ... it will amaze you how it helps you to keep your sanity.

To pay off all of my bills

So many wishes...where to start? Bettina, believe it or not there will be times in your life, that you will wish you were back in school.
Still, near the end it's all about getting out. I wish you success.

One wish today? I wish I could be with the persons I want to be with today - several of them are around the world at various places. That is the down side of living internationally - you are always longing for someone and thinking about time zones every day. :-)
The biggest wish: a society in which people have the honesty and guts to know and accept who their neighbor really is.

When I finished my accountancy exams, where I was working all day and studying all night for 3 years... when I found myself with no more study to do it took me so long to let go of the feeling tat I should be studying at night. Coming home from work ad just doing nothing - or having fun with friends - just made me feel guilty :)

Aggs- So true. You're always full of good advice. :-)
Callie- Good luck with that. Let's hope the genie means well with you.
Jerry- I know what you mean and I'm sure that's true. The thing is though, I do love uni and always have. But uni on top of a 55 hour a week job can really drive you insane sometimes.
EM- I know that feeling. That's the good and bad thing about being a citizen of the world. But, as I always say to my mum, the most important thing is that we are close in our hearts. Now isn't that nice and cheesy and so true. :-)
SJ- Oh, you were one of those freaks too?! This is exactely how I feel. I work and study my arse off and still always feel guilty when I don't study.

I can only imagine how hard that must be...
Just try and hold on in there. It'll all be over before you know it (well, ok, you know what I mean :roll:)
And just think of how proud of yourself you'll be, for having stuck with it, in the end...
