Bloody hell! I finished uni on 15th December and am now 2 weeks into a four week holiday, before starting back on 15th January for two weeks of exams.
September - December was a 12 week semester, studying six modules (And some other "fascinating" extra modules) which will be examined when we go back in January. I am sitting here, completely overwhelmed with revision and wandering how on earth I can get through it all.
The situation with my dad is going from bad to worse and having this in the background makes revision so much harder, if not impossible. Having refused (He still can't speak a word, but manages to get his opinion across perfectly well) all offers of help from his social worker, the worse scenario possible happened....on the Friday of Xmas weekend, he got moved into a residential care home. He is 61 and apart from not being able to speak and walking with a stick, he is pretty much OK. In his care home there are 30 residents, all in their 80's, 90's and 100's. Most need a lot of care and this place is completely wrong for him. It is horrendous visiting him there and the stress of having a young parent in a care home is always at the back of my head. I can't believe that all of this has happened.
And so back to the revision
