<p>Of course you are exhausted. Partly from the sheer time of the commute, partly from the way your schedule is inconvenient. And probably partly because it’s normal to get in some flurry when the end is in sight.
You have to do the best with this that you can. That’s the only way to reach the goal.
That said, can you crash on someone’s couch once/week? Buy pizza for the old roommates or other friends if they let you stay once in a while? Find something interesting on campus during free hours to mentally change the drudgery- go to the gym, stay for a lecture?</p>
<p>Cuz, as a long-time adult, I can tell you life is full of these crappy compromises.
When my kids are home, they are expected to do some standard no-brainer work around the house. It’s both a part of being in a family and one of the trade-offs of living here rather than on their own. </p>
<p>And we need a fuller story on the food issue. They don’t feed you? Or they make dinner and want you to eat that rather than scrounge through the cupboards? Or there’s some other detail to tell?</p>
