What will I do this weekend....

So basically my work requires me to study a module that will take 16 weeks starting next week.

I know myself, going by other summers - some weeks can be ok and give me some flexibility and then other weeks can be very intense and long with some days that are never ending. I can remember one day starting at 9 am and not finishing until near midnight. It was too gruelling. That kind of schedule really takes a toll.

Then I have so many other kind personal stuff happening as well. I just don't want work and this course to consume so much of my time.

I had to do some work this week for the course setting up technology and equipment and doing a pre registration course and all in all 2-3 hours. I tried since Sunday to grab two hours but it was so hard. I grabbed some time today in work but I won't always have that.

Basically the next few more weeks and months are going to be gruelling for me.

This weekend coming will realistically be my last freewl weekend until the autumn at a guess. The idea of that kills me. Work has me booked for some of the upcoming bank holidays too which would be a fantastic time really to sit down and study but nope - not allowed.

So I am stumped as to what to do for this weekend. I know I will need to do some jobs around the house and I am thinking about doing that on Saturday and then doing something forself on Sunday. Maybe taking myself out to lunch and drinks in a country town surrounded my mountains. Or going to a beach or traveling to an island or going to a zoo.

I don't know what to do. I might throw my ideas into a hat and pull one.

I am dreading the next few more months.

Probably not what you want to hear but personally I wouldn’t want to do much driving to mountains/beaches etc unless they’re very close by.

I’d use the Saturday to get some stuff like filling the freezer with very quick meals/getting on top of admin to make life marginally easier in the week.

then on the Sunday I’d just have a lunch out with some good friends, then chill by the fire with a good book and get an early night.

I don't drive so I was going to take public transport to wherever I was going to go.
