Dear goodness, only 2.5 weeks till the nightmare...err...exams begin, and only 4 weeks till I am freeeeeeeeeeeee! (...till it all begins again a few months later!).
I have been working pretty consistantly all year but the workload is just...ginormous and there is so much to learn!
anyway, I will entrust it all to St. Joseph with this prayer my dad sent me:
Prayer to St. Joseph the Workman
O Glorious St Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labour, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations, to work with gratitude and joy, in a spirit of penance for the remission of my sins, considering it an honour to employ and develop by means of labour the gifts received from God, to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from weariness and difficulties, to work above all with purity
of intention and detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account that I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God.
All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thine example, O Patriarch, St Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death.
Amen.

That's the prayer I have above my desk at work!!!
Add St Joseph of Cupertino - he famously got the one question in the exam for which he had revised!!
That's an ace prayer! I shall start praying it directly. Oh and as Mac says, St Joseph of Cupertino is so so great to pray to for exams too! And St Thomas Aquinas, Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, St Jude...
Well if you need a break and a laugh check out the cartoon I have on my blog LOL!
Sometimes in the hectic life many lead one just has to stop and laugh.
Yours in fun and friendship

Our Lady of Wisdom, St. John Bosco, Our Lady of Good Counsel. . . lots of people to help you out
