Hi Gabrielle,This is, of course, hugely different between people and industries. For me, my day is about as busy as a regular adult with a 9-5 - not sure whether that scares you or not!Certainly, your first year will start off quite daunting and feels busy, but as you get through the year you realise it's not so bad. Then, if you're happy with being pushed, each year will get progressively harder and busier. By your final year it will be quite busy but this is only temporary - it's like how the final months of Year 13 are very difficult, or your final year of university. But on a regular day, it's a normal 8-hour workday, with breaks for lunch, bathroom use, coffee, etc. It's not all doom and gloom!Hope that helps.
