"When your weekends are the same with your weekdays, rest is out of the picture..."

My months has been going on like this since I have to render a required number of hours to a company where I'm currently trained to an actual working environment as my compliance for graduating my Associate Degree in Computer Technology at the end of the academic year. Flu hindered my productivity for two weeks and plus the holidays where I had taken advantage of it to recuperate at home.
And now that I have fully recovered, I need to make up for the days that I was absent. In order to do that, I must sacrifice my remaining free time and rest days to complete my required working hours as soon as possible before the upcoming examinations for the End Term this December. Moreover, I need to compromise my sleep to work on my other school related activities and side hustles. Taking a regular class of 26 units in a semester and to render duties in a company isn't something as manageable as the previous year anymore. If previously, I can ace all my subjects with ease, this time if waste my time on things which aren't beneficial to my studies, my name on the Dean's list would be at risk.
Later in the day...
Earlier this rainy and cold morning, I forced myself again to got up and prepare to work before 8:00 am. This kind of weather often makes me lethargic, and prefer to wrapped myself in a blanket until noon still yawning with the least enthusiasm. However, I have to gather all the energy and be optimistic towards the day even if I want to do the latter.
This mountain pile high of papers and my unit greeted me as I opened the office door. Only simple tasks were assigned to me but, be that as it may, still a tiresome job if that would took you hours to finished them all. I've been asked to cut these flyers since we don't have much orders for today, and there isn't a compiled stacks of receipts for me to double check for any errors or missing transactions. The Technical Room has been back to its usual operation also, since the Election Day was over and there isn't a special occasion yet that needed a number of units for monitoring. Thus, everybody is back to their normal operations and here I am, just trying to help in any work available.
I'm not complaining for this. Actually, I'm thankful that I'm never assigned to anything complicated and arduous tasks like the other trainees in other companies. I'm filled with gratitude instead and forever indebted to the manager and CEO that gave me this opportunity in their company.
At night time...
After dinner, I'm being the responsible student extending school in my home, doing the assignments left, so that my activities wouldn't accumulate and I don't have to cram again like before. Time management will indeed play a vital role to balance my personal, college, extra-curricular activities, and work life this school year. Coercively, I must forget the leisure and persistently remind myself to sacrifice idleness. I can function more if I can do my tasks in my own pace but my time isn't in my control this year. I have to bear for it no matter what and be strong amidst the waves of exhausting activities.
For the busy beaver that I am this weekend, I can't even take a decent photo of my workplace to share it here and gladly, I found one that could justify my words in a way. Since last week, I've been planning to attend a worship service on Sundays but may God forgive me this time and the next following weeks for I couldn't allocate a time for the Almighty aside from my prayers.
May we be blessed with abundance as the fruit of our labors. It's everything I could share for now. Happy weekend.
