Housework/coping with a levels

Anonymous #1

How many of you juggle with housework and getting a level work done? How did you manage through it?

I don't have housework to do but I tell you I'm not managing with A Level work. My German teacher reckons I could have a nervous breakdown.

Lol, try uni work and housework with no parents to do the bulk of it :p:

the key is to put work first then housework during your free time when you're not too tired.

HAHAHA........House work? chores? Hoovering........? Actually used to do that crap when at home. Being at Uni means you can do it in your own time after you have had fun and did your work etc. I have found that it's cooking that messes everything up rather than cleaning or other things. You can just leave everything else but when that stomach rumbles in the morning and afternoon you can not ignore it, especially if in a lecture hall with 100 sleeping beauties around you-they do not like earthquke waking them up! Do the A-level work for a few hours and then just do ur chores-I find listening to high volume music really helpful when doing chores.

It's not hard :s:

for the past two years i've had to do 6 pieces of coursework one year and 7 this year, I manage fine seeing as I do most of my work at school I can't concentrate at home.

That's life though, everyone has that stuff, and it just gets worse when you're older and have to worry about paying rent and for a car and all that. You just have to prioritise and make sure your coursework/revision gets done. I'm in uni now and still have motivation problems. I just have to make myself do it by saying I won't see my boyfriend/go out/whatever until I have a decent amount of work done, because if I don't do my work first it never gets done. I did this during my A Levels as well and I did really well in the end. It's all about focusing - it's amazing how much work you can do in an hour or two without any distractions.

I live away from home and I work part time, go to college, do my coursework, housework, go to the gym and see my mum once a week. I also go out once a week. Well at least I do when things are going ok....

This week I haven't been to college because I'm dead behind on coursework and have a cold. I've been hiding all week! I feel so guilty for it, sometimes so much so I end up being sick but I just can't face it.

Yeh I also suffer from depression and get ill alot which ruins my juggling skills.

I work in a mess basically - hence avoiding the problem.

Bwah hah hah I'm 3rd year of Uni, so I have loads of Uni work, housework, 2 part time jobs and I volunteer at the CAB once a week. And manage to get down the gym every other day and do mooting at Uni.

Sigh... when I finally qualify as a solicitor life will be a breeze I tell you! :cool:
