It's the season again - allergy season - and I seem more allergic with every passing day. Allergic to work too! It's official. We're all finally back at school and we seem to be drowning in work.
After nearly four months of beaches and flip-flops we're now back to getting up before the sun does.
Already the talk of university is buzzing around the corridors and forms are waiting to be filled. To top it all off, with the extended school day and the after-school activities, only a few of us are lucky enough to get home before it gets dark.
With this sudden torrential downpour of work, we need a game plan if we're to get through the school year.
So, draw up a schedule of how your time is going to be utilised, keep it balanced and healthy and don't overwork yourself.
You deserve to let your brain go on stand-by every once in awhile!
In times of despair when you feel the work closing in on you, threatening to engulf you, remember US President Barack Obama's immortal words: "Yes, We Can!"
