Juggling work & study?


It's working day and its nearly 11 p.m.

I have just got home from night class. Like any study night, classes ended at 9.30 or 10 p.m., but it has taken me about half and hour to fourty minutes to reach home, if i had dinner outside I'll reach home by 12pm! By the time I get settled for bed, I'm going to be completely exhausted.

After 8 long working hours, 4 times per week and 25 km journey with the bloody traffic jammed for 2 and a half yrs!anybody interested?yes!me!:)

People always say to me, "Why do you make life so difficult for yourself? How did you manage your time, between work and study?Is working does not make u busy enough?Why don't you study full time rather than juggling things upside down?

Gosh!

There are too many things i want to achieve in this life, why cant they just understand?To many, that ought to be enough, especially for a woman. A woman should not aim too high, they say, otherwise she might end up on the shelves. Even my mum says that, too.

However, I beg to differ. Times have changed, and I ought to think more realistically.

People always ask, what is your ambition?Yeah..i've changed my ambition like hundred times since the 1st ambition was i want to be a doctor!..haha!everyone does right? But right now, i just not sure what i want to be but i know this study is worth it!it is and always will be..in future..my future!

Furthermore, a basic degree cannot take you anywhere. Now, it is just the starting point, and you will have to continue building up from there to keep up with the times and stay relevant. But it is tough, because it means that after spending about 2 decades in basic education and getting that prized degree, you will still have to continue learning throughout your work life.

Yeah..its tough!

But for those who are determined to beat the odds, what they gain in the end will be well worth every sacrifice and effort along the way.
