Help!!!

Have that slow sinking feeling when you just know you are trying to cope with too much!

My house needs so much doing, the ironing pile is taking on a life of its own and the garden needs three weeks of ground force treatment!

I am tring to keep up with uni work, have started collecting data for the pilot of my research, but have so many other bits of coursework to get started on. Its like that horrible conversation you have after an exam....
"what did you put for question 5?".....
"really? thats not what I put".....

Only now its a case off....
"what question are ypu answering for forensic psychology coursework?"
"oh, you havent started it yet? I am half way though"

NNNOOOOOOO!!
How can I be so far behind in the first month??

On the other hand, the part time job is ok. sometimes it can be mind numbingly boring and all I can think about is what else I could be doing with the time but I suppose I will think differnetly when the first wage slip comes in.

On the plus side, Nan's funeral went ok. I found it a lot harder than I though (hence leaving it till last to talk about). But, there were no family fights and my Mom was amazing. She arranged everything and read out a beautiful poem she had written for Nan's 80th birthday. I was really proud of her.

Is it nearly Christmas?

Wow, doesnt the time fly!

Been so busy at Uni, did make the ethics deadline and my idea has been approved. Now I just have to start the pilot of my questionarre.

Had some bad news though, my Nan passed away on friday. She had been quite poorly and it was a bit of a relief to know she wasnt in any more pain and at peace at last. She is now reunited with my Grandad. They have been married for over 60 years and it wasnt right that they were apart. The funeral is on Friday and may be trying due to familt tensions. Why do people wait for funerals or weddings to air their views?
