Balance of life. Balancing time between studies and work.
Yeah, those are my blog’s headlines, and now I would really need all those. This spring is going to be busy, busy and more busy than I ever thought. My work is currently about writing my Pro Gradu which is nice that I get paid for writing but it isn’t always so nice. I have noticed that writing my gradu isnät going so well at the moment. It is difficult to just get started, to get anything cleaver and smart text out of my mind to the document. I know that it is mostly just the lack of starting but it is that starting the process that is difficult. For some reason I just haven’t managed to get myself to correct state of mind.
And the funny part is that the actual writing process is going to be quite easy for me because I have quite clear image of what I should write in what chapter. I’ve got all chapters already planned and now all I just need to do is write and write some more. If I just managed to get myself to write and write well.
Trying to study some missing courses at the same time is not going to make writing process any easier. It is really annoying when you need to go to classes all the time. Why all lectures has to be in the middle of the day always? Just to make sure that no-one is able to work and study at the same time? Make sure that if you try to work with something you just get interrupted all the time when you need to go to classes?
Well, this spring is really going to be a tough lesson how to balance time properly between studies, work, photography, relaxing and free-time. I hate to admit but I haven’t had time for a photography for a long long time. Last week I finally bought a new tripod and now I can finally take some more macro photos, at least it is easier but if I just had more time to do all what I want or need to do.
And what I do now? Instead of writing my gradu, reading for exams, thinking of logic programs or being outside and take photos of snowy city I just sit in my office and writing to my blog…

I really know what you mean that balancing with working and studying and the rest of life. I’m trying to handle my work and school some how and it’s not very easy. The fact is, that in this moment I need to do my work better than school. (Other wise I don’t get my paycheck =) ) But you’re lucky that your school and work is in the same place, does that help you even some how?
Good luck with writing Pro Gradu, I’m just so lucky that I’ve already done my thesis. Hmmm, I wonder that which of us is faster to finish studying (hopefully me!)

Yeah, it does help a little bit when you are working where you also study (or try to study) but all it does is that it is much easier to go to classes when travelling from work office to lecture room takes only a few minutes.
And for some reason I think that you will be finish your studies before I do…
But it doesn’t help at all with time problem, still have same 24 hours per day than everybody else
Thanks, I think that I will need luck and a lot
