Argh

I do too much. I mean SERIOUSLY too much. Those of you who have been in my life for some time will remember me crashing and burning during A levels. Well, clever girl that I am I have taken on too much and, according to the doctors, could be back down there at any moment. You see, my running for disability councillor was described as being a couple of hours a week. To start with it was taking a lot more than that, and I thought that as I got the committee set up and going, my workload would drop but as I delegated, the workload didn't drop- the people who I delegated to seem unable to take responsibility for their own work and always make me turn up to help them. Add into that my Uni work (what with a degree being the actual reason I'm here and all) and paid work to pay the rent etc and you have one ridiculously stressed, very knackered Sarah. My current track is to try and convince the Union to pay me by the hour, its a long shot but worth a try. The essays are piling up, they are my number one priority and therefore I can't do both DDSF (disabled and dyslexic student forum) and paid work, and DDSF won't pay the rent. Rant over, prayer appreciated :)

Here we go again...

So. After mutliple problems with the last blog, here we go again. Have chosen blogspot.com as it seems to be the provider of choice for most of the blogs I read on a regular basis, even if they don't realise I'm reading them!!
So, as an update from the last blog, I'm now in my second year at Sheffield studying German and History, recently elected as students with disabilities councillor on the Union council so am directly responsible for all the disabled students at Uni (eek) Have finally settled into a church, (after a year of a little bit of church hunting and a lot of laziness and bad habits) and am currently planning for my year in Germany next year which is daunting to say the least!
Anyway, andy has just arrived after a long train trip up to see me and his tea is in the oven so this is all to be continued!
