Life at the moment is an awful lot like a particularly tiresome game of The Sims. If you don't really get the analogy bare with me a moment whilst I try to elaborate a bit. When playing The Sims you have to make sure you look after all of the members of whichever family you are controlling concurrently. This often leads to the most dysfunctional goings on possible with some of the characters living nocturnal lives, and this is often even before you consider getting them a job. If you have ever controlled a family that consisted of 2 or 3 kids at school and 2 parents with jobs you will know the feeling of struggle that is trying to keep them all healthy/happy and capable of going about their jobs/classes and this is what life feels like at the moment. Having to manage my eating, sleeping and day-to-day goings on alongside going to university, preparing for seminars and researching and writing essays is beginning to feel like a 5 person family on The Sims, meal times are strange, sleeping patterns are stranger and my performance academically may well struggle because my mood meter is in the red! The biggest failing of this analogy though is the fact I can't press Shift+CTRL+C Enter the word Motherlode and avoid the need to go to school or work for the rest of forever... It's a nice thought though right? I better buy a lottery ticket!
