Busy Times

Haven't written here in a while - probably due to the lack of anything interesting and also time. I've had the most busy, tiring and draining few weeks I've ever had. Its worse than when I've studied for major exams or was writing my UG thesis. What realy terrifies me is that I know its going to get worse; much much worse.
The semester is ending so I've had reports and presentations for my modules (considering the project was 60% it wasn't a small matter). Got exams coming up in just over a week - have to start studying (yeah start!). At the same time we've had maintenance work so I've had to be down in the cleanroom the whole day for close to two weeks and had to do the project report down there. The strain managed to make me ill on top of that. But couldn't afford to take too much of a break because I can't neglect my experimental work. I mean that one of the most important things. Its frustrating too as things don't work, or work unpredictably so there is a lot of worry from that as well.
All this meant I had so little time to see my close friends - to the point I didn't see my flatmate for days sometimes and it was a "hello stranger" situation when we saw each other. Have the need to just collapse or scream or just cry and seek comfort from someone but there simply wasn't time and its stange over the phone. Thankfully some in the lab did lend a listening ear and some advice and I felt somewhat better and was finally able to have that cry at the end of weeks.
I dread the years to come now though I'm trying to self motivativate myself its difficult but must be done if I am to see this through!
