Time to breathe!

It seems, lately, that I just don't have time to breathe! This has both advantages and disadvantages! The advantage is that I just don't see the time going in, and the weeks seem to go by more and more quickly until it's the weekend again! The disadvantage is that I just don't have any time! A typical week for me is:
Monday - work until 5.15pm. College from 5.30-8.30pm.
Tuesday - work until 5.15pm. Counselling placement in Newry from 7.30-9.45pm
Wednesday - work until 5.15pm. Meetings or Bible study from 7.30pm
Thursday - work until 5.15pm. College from 5.30-8.30pm
Friday - work until 3.45pm. Ice hockey (Yay!) or film night with tenants until approx. 10pm
Saturday - the day of sleep, rest and recuperation
Sunday - Church from 10am-1pm. Choir until 1.30pm. Dinner at 4 and some more rest.

Hectic and stressful though this is, I'm glad it's this way because it means that I managed to secure a counselling placement and don't have to drop out for a year!! Yeehaw! It's also a bit mad to think I've been let loose to actually counsel people in the real world! This is something I've wanted to do for some years now, so it means that I'm one step closer to achieving that goal! Stressful, yes. Worth it? Definitely!
