This week has been terrible for me. Working and studying at the same time is not an easy way of living. I guess for me. I decided to work because I wanted to and also because I needed the money. I had the need to be independant for oncein my life. Therefore, I started to work in one school. The hours I had were not that many, but suddenly they started to increase and I could not refuse. And so, I found myself teaching English in EGB 3 up to Kindergarden. It is very exhausting but fulfilling as well. After a few months, I was offered a new job in another school. This time was in Primary school. Without thinking, I accepted. What I did not measure was the lack of time I would have for doing my own homework for my subjects.
Some people say that working and studying is good because you have already achieved your gold. But I have my doubts. I feel I am under too much stress and I do not know how to handle it. Some days I do not have time for eat or rest, which are fundamental in any person´s health. Moreover, I cannot see my family much as I am always out.
On weekends, this nightmare is not over because all I do is prepare classes, homework,and things I need for the rest of the week. I do not know if this happens because I do not organize myself or because I am obssest. Last Saturday, I took a look at myself and I felt sorry because I imagined my friends going out and having fun, and I was sitting in front of a computer typing with no stop for nothing.
Maybe, it is the time of the year. But I am under pressure. I hope to be able to continue with this. Otherwise, there are things that I will have to give up if I want to keep my sanity. I know some people that went through the same and are still alive and kiking. In the end, it is all about sacrifice. Nothing is for free.
