work life balance

Its my 3rd day at work today. By the time i reached my room its already 815 and i havent had dinner. Everyday in the morning i had to get out of my room by 8am and basically the life repeats itself. I wonder if this will be the working life after grad.

Life is repetitive, on one hand the internship im doing is interesting. The company do stuff related to developing renewable energy, CDM, carbon trading and all sorts and its exciting to be in the industry. Im still trying to absorb as much as i can everyday and i found something interesting to work on. The office environment is great, very flexible, very challenging but at the same time it takes up so much time. 1 hour to travel to work, another hour back. Thats my life. But from what i see from some colleague at work, they leave work later than me. god knows what time they leave the office.

Now i see the point of work life balance. means u have work and life balanced out.

That means if you have 24 hours a day, 12 hours will be your life. and the other 12 will be....obviously work !!

of the 12 hours of work, you obviously have to work + travel to work + lunch

of the 12 hours of "life", you obviously need to include dinner, breakfast, shower, prepare for work, sleep, shopping, laundry, and do whatever you want. Assume that you have more that you want to do which is the usual case for most people, then u might have to cut time off dinner, or breakfast, or less sleep for you....unless u choosing not to shower.

So most people end up having not much time for what they want to do.

wouldnt life be boring if its so repetitive?
