Nodame, you're doing roughly 11-12 hours of work a day and have a 20 page paper due in April which you're only half done? That is pretty loaded. Have you tried asking your employer or teachers for help - an extension on the paper or a revised working schedule for the next week?

It's better to sacrifice a little of what you want so you can still get what you need done at the end of the day.

That requires a serious set of priorities.

And by Nodame's belief, she has to pray to Anime every day :D

I think I, the Eater of Dreams, will be screwed.

That's  belief system Nikkoru that many might argue with you.

I agree, just saying that in some circles it's not accepted as truth.

I'm gunna leave you anyway.

That's the point. I haven't watched anime for almost a month already.
And i just can't get an extension on paper, it's the deadline for all of us.
And about work.. i'm doing almost half of it already for a month..

That requires a serious set of priorities.

And by Nodame's belief, she has to pray to Anime every day :D
Still i'm able to manage somehow so far O_o

quote from me :D "I haven't watched anime for almost a month already."

Really though, "Anime" could mean anything non-work related, that's just her chosen hobby. She wants to have some free time to be herself, which is justified.

Belief system? It's just prioritization. Knowing your limits, and working within them is simple maturity. As is asking for help when you need it.

An 18 year old should have some time available in their lives for something beyond work, school, eating, and sleeping. If it's anime, that's cool.

Have you asked? It doesn't hurt to ask. Even if they say no, they can give you guidance on any problem you're having. You've got two more weeks to go, so keep plugging away at it a bit every day.

You mean you're working half time? That was a wise decision. All I can add is you should eat regularly and make sure you get sleep. The stress is only temporary, and think of the joy you'll have when you get back into all your favourite anime.

Well, they told us there is a chance that our deadline would be transformed to the begining of May. But i'll find it out only next week. And yes i think you can say that i'm working half time.
But i don't it much.. and i dont get sleep at all :D but i'm trying.. cuz i know i'll die if i continue with this rhythm.

Meanwhile, I'm on strike at school and I only work 22,5 hours a week (and my employer have refused to give me extra hours) which means I'm bored as hell and I don't even feel like watching anime. I wish it was summer.

Maybe if you email to tell your instructor your situation that'll affect their decision on the due-date extension, they're human too. You've got nothing to lose, and other people might be just as stressed out.

You've gotta take care of your health, making mistake because you're exhausted or starving will just hurt you more in the end.

Anyways, I hope you don't die.

Parents have a lakeside cottege, picturesque property.

I found them a nice room in a 4-star hotel online in Florence for less than 1/2 cost, as well as a slew of Italian tourist material available in August.

It's all going according to plan.

Yeah, just ask. To put it into perspective, I plan to tell my professor today that I am an idiot, and my partner shouldn't be penalized for it. I'm sure your plea is wayyyy more legitimate than mine.
