I have been holding my breath for 1 week, 2 days. I WIN!
Well, perhaps I have not been actually holding my breath… but I feel as though I have reached the point just before the terrifying, exhilarating downward rush and I am holding my breath, waiting for the inevitable drop. I have Adjusted; to a new sleep schedule, to a new school site, to classes, work and homework. My life has a routine, and I have achieved a nice balance- been apple picking, gone out on Friday nights, even made it to Cape Cod for a work-free weekend!
But as I look ahead I see that midterms are coming, final projects that are due at Christmas are not that far away… and Primary Project will start soon! I am left wondering if I can continue to have school and a life, or if this balancing act will become reminiscent of Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat. Mostly, I am hoping that I can pause the onrushing of further responsibility, and hold my breath until Christmas!
Perched on that ball, but watch out! He may fall!
I just held my breath for 1 minutes! I’m healthy! Anyway, Keep up the school and life balance. If you were able to make it today, you can make it on the following days. Whatever how heavy the workload is, what matters is your mindset, your goal on why you need to achieve these stuff.
Keep it up!

I held my breath for 1 minute! I am healthy! Anyway, keep up the school and personal life. If you were able to do it today, you can make it on the following days. No matter how heavy the workload is, what counts is your attitude, your destination on why you need to achieve these things.

Even though you are joking holding your breath can have some serious health issues as hypertension, and gout just to name a couple.
As stressful as school can be taking a little time out to relax can be benefical for your health and schooling. Keep up the good work.
