Once in a life time.

It's very easy in life to get bogged down by the stresses, pains and labours of life.  All this week I've been exasperated by one thing after another.  First it was coming down with the flu.  Secondly, it was frustration that two weeks of experience was simply not enough to get a feel for everything in the school and certainly not enough to finish my 50page work booklet.  Then it was the stressful realisation that finally I have a whole blissful week of not having to do anything only to find out I've been asked to sign my summer away at another job.  Then it was the feeling that all the preparation work I wanted to do by September won't be getting done.  Followed by the crippling realisation that I can't actually relax and do nothing.  Instead I get up, grab a textbook and get reading, or I drag myself into my work clothes and go to work, or I go out and socialise with whatever last fibre of my being that can stand up.
