Study or Work?

I always thought after I'd finish studying and land into the world of work, I would have ample time on my hands to wander around and enjoy life. Yet, its been just a month since I started work, and I haven't even posted once on my blog! So what is the reality? Well, I come home, cook, clean a little, pray and just feel like jumping straight into bed. Having said that, I must admit it is actually very nice not having to worry about assignments at all, in fact I don't have to worry about anything (well almost), plus I can shop till I drop. The joys of not being a student are too many to count ... :D

On the other hand I am worried I will get too used to enjoying my non-student life that I will find it difficult to go back to university for postgraduate study. I have places at London universities (LSE, Imperial, UCL, Kings & City) and I've applied for PhD studentships too, but I am waiting to hear back from them (please pray for me!). I sometimes wonder, should I just pack it all up (i.e. studies) and just continue working and enjoy life (at least financially) or should I look at the long term picture and sacrifice my sanity and freedom for one to three years more ... ... What do you guys think?

BTW I do love studying. In fact just two days into work, and I was missing lectures and the academic research environment, where every day one learns something new. Whereas my current job, lets just say I've done more interesting things ... !
