So, its assignment week and I am back at home in the country for the week. It is a bit strange being back for a whole week, it is usually only for two days. This week was different, having spent the week at home I realised that I really like living in the city now. It has come part of who I am now, its not just somewhere where we go Christmas shopping, or for a trip maybe 3 or 4 times a year, it is where I live.
The week at home was really great, got to catch up with people and my family who I hadn't seen in ages. Of course there is also lots of work to be done and it will hopefully all be done in time. That's one of the hard things about this college life, is balancing everything like work and pleasure, there is always so many distractions around. Many of the people I went to school with are in college in Dublin and are always planning different things to do, but there is a time when you just have to say "no" and get on and do some work.
So balancing work and pleasure is one of the hardest things to do living in the city, why is there so many distractions??
Back to work it is now...
Hey ri-ri,
ReplyDeleteJust like you I am a Country girl, hailing all the way from Kerry. After reading your posts I feel that I am completly in the same boat as you. Although you had someone you knew who was also comming to study here I was a lone ranger ha!I think your blog is very realistic and I completely agree with everything you have posted so far. =]
From reading your blog,It makes me think how privledged I am to be living in dublin near the city centre.Would you call it more of a stress than a pleasure to keep up the travelling back and forth to home?
ReplyDeleteI dont know what I would call it, sometimes it can be a pleasure because you know where your going back to and exactly what your facing, but it can be a stress..especially trying to figure out what to pack!!
ReplyDeleteAshy..it is tough right?! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who found that!Yea I was really lucky I knew somebody, but I'm sure you have made really good friends now and that is what makes it easier to get through college..and living far away from home!!
ReplyDeleteyeah, that whole packing issue is NOT cool..im always forgetting things.Ddo you ever stay up at the weekends? I've started to..I'm so sick of travelling
