This week has the potential to be depressing, or at least stressful. The pressure is building, and you find yourself doing a double-take, asking "Are we really in fourth week already?!" (Particularly when your course has an intensive 10 weeks of classes to allow for a 3 week practicum.)
Some fall behind in their readings and/or assignments (that'd be me).
Others fall behind in their immune system and contract the early-semester cold (Dr. Steff's diagnosis). Ever organised, I got in early on mine, and contracted it in week 2.
Others still fall behind in healthy lifestyle regimes (me again).
Perhaps there are those who fall behind in social matters, too.
Amid all this falling behind, I am reminded that we are all called to run our own race. The important thing is that we finish - not that seven other people are gracefully and athletically racing around the track in front of you while you labour and pant far from the finish line, feeling like a massive unathletic lump (trust me, I know what THAT feels like!).
So my advice this week?
1. Keep at it! Don't give up!
2. Keep a track of the positives along the way - as least you can run in this race!
3. Make sure you don't let the important things in life 'fall behind'...

Haha.. should I comment?

I HAVE NO P PLATES AND I HAVENT SINCE I WAS 19 BECAUSE IM FROM THE BETTER STATE!!
I would argue that the better state is the one that only allows mature and responsible drivers on the roads... or maybe we just actually have real roads to drive on here :P
