29 April 13

Everyone has always taught me that when life gets too complex and stressful, you will get through it, you just need to take one step at a time. This was a lovely mantra and it worked very well for me…. that is, it worked for me until I did the Entreps course. One thing that I very quickly learnt was that it is impossible to take one step at a time. It may even be impossible to take one staircase at a time… because there are always at least 3 staircases and I am somehow expected to be at the top of all of them. At the same time.

We have a few things due this week. That’s a lie. We have 6 things due- and a test. And then we have another 6 things due next week. But it could be worse I suppose. There could be a public holiday in the middle of it in which all the rest of our non-entreps friends could be out having fun. Oh wait. There is… and they are…

But here we are, pretending to take it one day at a time. And even though today may have been fire fighting on a level at which few have experienced, 5pm came and three handins went and with it, another day of fighting fires came to a close.

We say it every time, that we need to find a way to manage our time better, but I’m starting to wonder if that is even possible or if time management will remain as foreign a concept to me as the reason UCT doesn’t print on both sides of the page.
