Work, Work, Work, Stress, Stress, Stress.

Yesterday was the last day of the term. Time to panic. At this point from all the classes I have attended I should not only know what I am going to do with dissertation but also my life in general. This big question always bothers me because I just don't know. I think Ive done quite well this year, its been tough and i feel that the two terms have taken their toll on me. These next few weeks are not going to get any better, in fact i think it will get worse. I have lots of work to do as well as fitting in part time work to pay my way. I have four essays for the end of April, which i have calculated as 7-9 days per essay, then there's the PhD applications and dissertation preparations.

Back to the big question. I cant make my mind up. I want to do a PhD but I also want to gain some solid work experience. I don't know what the answer is. I have applied to some internships in Brussels and Luxembourg and I will start to look into other work placements over the next few weeks. I'm hoping that all of this will throw me an answer. I feel that If I chose work experience over the PhD then I should at the very least have a job that is relevant to my interests. There's lots out there, I just have to grab it.
