This week will be the fourth one with me trying to go to University while working full time, something I had not really thought about before. While I brought a decent amount of money with me to Canada, international students pay double the amount of tuition, which means that I have to work as much as I can while trying to not neglect school work and social life.
Right now, my weekly routine is about as following: I have two days of classes, four days of 10 hour shifts and one day off. I’m still enjoying my Co-op job and while it is physically demanding and exhausting, it’s also rewarding and fun.

Where does my time go and am I using it efficiently?
