Yep, that sounds surreal culizen, but as long as you are happy with it I don't see anything wrong with it.
It sounds like you are doing well, I bet you are excited for the postgrad course! I think if it wasnt for my course I wouldn't have coped. And I love studying so much that I will apply for a paid PHD as soon as the vacancies are advertised in March. If I could afford it I would never work, I would study and volunteer indefinitely..
