Back in the routine

Now that I've been back from my vacation for a few days I am beginning to get back into the school mode. I have begun to, once again, sink into an overwhelming feeling of stress. This always happens at the beginning of each term when I am reviewing the amount of work I need to finish. This time, however, the grade is based solely on one paper per class due at the end of term. I am constantly in doubt about whether I will be able to complete my papers, and then when they are finished I constantly worry about failing or getting a bad grade. I love being in school, but sometimes I think it seriously messes with my confidence. This term is going to seriously stretch my capacity to manage my time. This is my schedule. On the even weeks I have class Mon 12:30-2:30, Tues 12:30-2:30, Wed 9:30-4:30, Thurs 9:30-5, Fri 9:30-5. On odd weeks I have Mon 12:30-2:30, Tues 12:30-2:30, Wed 9:30-11:30. So that leaves 2 days off every other week. Oh, but wait. I have to also do 9 days of placement this term. That means, those 8 days off that I have this term will be filled with placement and I have to find a random day somewhere in there as well. I have papers due in week 5 and week 10. I basically have nights to do my school work and try and fit some fun time in there as well. I seem to always forget how stressful school can be. Sorry this isn't a happy post I'm just a little stressed at the moment. At least I'm updating you right? :)
Well, I realized that I don't really ever update on the menial everyday stuff that I do that I don't really think about. So, here's how my normal day goes. I usually get up around 8 or 9 AM depending on when my classes are. I do the shower, get ready, eat breakfast thing. I've told you this before, but I live in an en-suite room which means that I have a bathroom in my room. This is really nice because I can shower whenever I want and I never have to wait. There is always hot water and I know that if the shampoo runs out it's my fault because I'm the only one that uses it. Also, if it's dirty, it's also my fault. My flat consists of 6 bedrooms like mine which are arranged very similar to a dorm floor. We have card entry like in a hotel but there are locks on the front door, my flat door and my room door. There is a kitchen in my flat which is shared by the 6 of us. I have 2 cupboards and a shelf in the fridge. The fridge space can be kinda tight, but I have survived up till now so I think I'll be fine. After I'm ready to go I walk about 10 mins to Jane's housing. She is from southern England and is in my program and taking the same classes as me. She lives in University accommodation but not directly on campus. Once I meet her then I have a 30 min walk from there to King's Manor which is on the other side of campus. The walk is actually pretty interesting. We take a short cut that is a walkway that goes past a Victorian church that is actually quite pretty. It has a really tall clock tower and you can see the age of it by the soot build up on the stone. Once we get out of that walkway we are on a main road that goes through one of the gates of the city walls and continues on through the city. We pass through the center of town where all the shopping is and continue on. We also pass right by York Minster which never ceases to amaze me even though I have seen it everyday for the last 4 months. We end up passing through another gateway to get outside the city walls and there is King's manor. It is really a great walk and I think that is what makes the 40 mins go by quickly.
Then I attend my class and usually head back to my room. Here's a map of the path that I walk to get to King's Manor.

It's kinda small but at least it gives you some sort of idea of what York looks like. The main yellow roads go around the outside of the city walls to give you an idea of where the walls are.
Well, that's all I have time to update right now, but I hope you are all doing well and that this gives you some sort of an idea of what I'm going through here and what my days look like.
Oh yeah, and just an update, I'm doing my work placement this term at the Minster so I will update when that begins to let you know what I'm doing there.
