Better late than never

Hello all,

So I have finally had a spare moment to sit down and bag this domain address before someone else got there. What a relief. Only two months late, it's hardly worth even paying attention to. 

So I've been hugely busy of late. I have got through the first half of the first term in my final year at university, which has been full-on to say the least. Working two jobs while being a joint honours student is a challenge especially when you're doing two languages. The toughest thing is maintaining a work/life balance that's for sure. I don't currently have much of one, hence the rather bitter tone to this piece.

It wouldn't be so bad but I am supposedly going to graduate in June, and then I have to face this big old thing called "the real world". I think everyone's feeling the pressure at the moment, which is a comfort to know I am not alone, if nothing else. Somehow I'm meant to act like a grown up amidst all of this, take everything on the chin and get a Big Girl Job. This is proving tricky. I know sort of what I want to do (family law), and I feel like I'd do OK at it after a while, but goodness knows the process of going about it is giving me the heebie-jeebies. 

I've just received a 2:1 in my essentially-Dissertation, even though god knows I put in enough work to be deserving of a first. I think I'm just about recovered from ,my 3 month stint of being constantly under the influence of caffeine. 

Basically, I am rather terrified that I will fail my degree despite this, I will never get a job, and will instead die alone and be eaten by Alsatians. I strongly suspect I may be Bridget Jones.
