here we go again

[VM85]

many of you may also have been on break-(for a whole week wooohooo)until school starts back up tomorrow- and i have to be honest:I AM DREADING IT. this week was long enough for me to get out of the routine, and short enough as to not getting any studying or anything school related done! I am seriously dreading going back. I dont hate it when Im there for the most part, but i cant even get myself into bed because i know once i do my alarms gonna go off and its back to school- 5 days a week, 7 hours a day. Dont get me wrong i am soooo greatful I am in school and 3 quarters(just about, i round up !!!) and I hope that i dont screw up on the upcoming final- so im not putting my foot in my mouth....but boy oh boy I can not wait for school to be over with. 85 more days to go!!!!But seriously i wish there was no vacation at all, that way i wouldnt feel so depressed about having to go back!Am i the only one feeling this way?

Absotutely not the only one! I'll be hopefully graduating in May, but I remember feeling just like you during 3rd semester! I was so burnt out, I didn't want to quit, but I wanted time to myself. There just didn't seem to be any light at the end of that tunnel. I felt hopeless and really really burnt out. The routine is brutal. Now, I see the light and there's steam back in my engine. You know you're going to hang in there, and there is really nothing I can say except that it does pass and get much better. Tie a knot and just set yourself on cruise. I had to be a robot on some days just to get through it! You will get out of the funk your in right now, but it sucked butt at the time
