Week 8:
Half term

Half term, for me, didn’t feel any different from the week before. Because I’d been away from college so much recently, I didn’t feel like I was on a break. It’s a shame really as it set me aside from the group, again, in the way that everyone else’s blogs will all be describing how nice it is to have a break from studying.

I didn’t think about college much, this was the only difference from the week before, as I was concentrating on myself and getting better for the new semester. I really didn’t want to have to miss, in my opinion, the ‘new start’.

Toward the end of the week I was feeling so’oooooo’ much better. The rest from thinking about college was a big factor. I’d been able to relax and when I felt well enough to do things, I didn’t feel guilty for doing them, where as I had before.
I haven’t mentioned this previously, but while I was absent from college, if there was ever a time where I felt I could go out and do things, simple things like going to see Antonys family or taking the dog for a walk, I felt guilty for not getting college work done. Looking back on it now, it would have been stupid to do so. After spending so much time in the house, in bed, it was important to go out as and when I could.
If the situation arises again, I’ll try and put it in perspective and maybe even read this blog to remind me it’s the right thing to do.
