Most students out there probably know what I'm referring to in the title but for those of you who are reading this who don't it is the idea that any students life is made up of three components and at any given time it is only possible to do 2 of them to a satisfactory standard. The 3 components are sleep, social life and studying (don't read into the order it's alphabetical :P ). So, if you get a good amount of sleep and have a social life you'll school work takes a dive, or if you spend time on your school work and social life then you get no sleep ect... which way you tend to lean will depend on the student.
I mostly like to make sure my school work stays at a certain level and thus often lose sleep or a social life depending upon what's happening in life. More often that not it is the sleep that goes first and that was the case for last semester. I did a lot of socialising and kept up with my work. Which made for interesting blog posts (or at least I hope). This semester though I had to re-evaluate my triangle. A lot of my friends had left, and I could choose to 'replace' them and keep up the social side with the studying or continue mainly with those that remained and get more sleep. I took one look at my syllabuses for classes this semester and choose that it was going to have to be my social life that went down the drain for the semester. For some reason, despite taking the same number of classes this semester as last I have ended up with twice the amount of work, and while last semester I could cope with getting less sleep than was probably good for me, this semester I just knew if I was going to survive and get the kind of grades I wanted then it would be best to say goodbye to the social life. Which means I have done very little which has been exciting enough to warrant a blog post. There have been a couple of outings between the studying and sleep and I'm sure eventually (when procrastinating something else) I will get around to a blog post on those but until then if you need to find me I'm on the line of the triangle between studying and sleeping :D .
