Glad to hear it went okay!!

Yup, it's normal for it to be scary at first, and to be exhausted... Someone told me she only worked and slept her first year, pretty much, and all she had to do was sit there

and walk around a bit and such.. then next year she signed up for gym and did more exercise and things went better.. so I highly recommend a regime of exercise (ideally something fun you like to do!) to fit into your schedule!
Yup, parents & family can make up for things too

Don't count on it too much though, he he.. so you'll be pleasantly surprised when it happens... I think they will be more understanding now that you have a job too, mine were.. they may still expect some help in the household (and maybe contributing to costs), so you may want to discuss these things when you're up for it.. (And in your place I'd still keep in mind saving to move out and live on your own..
