Prague, March 2022

the smell of freshly baked banana cake and sweet chocolate in the kitchen, iced mocha, uni outfit check and that big spider inside my class 🥵. It was a productive day and finished critical reading assignment of an article (summary, pros, cons and comment). Next week would be another busy session of trying to finish one write-up (it's like 5 pages, font 10, single line spacing ㅠㅠ) , one presentation, case studies also, group meetings.

semester breaks doesn't feels like a semester break, spending the time mostly dwelving deep in academia writting and as usual, high on caffeine to chase deadlines. seems like I am merely studying my lecture material, notes and books, and most of the time, banging my head on the desk for being clueless. ootd using .5 perspective to appear taller since i am quite petite. also, iced cafe latte and matcha cheese cake 🍵💚.

How?

31.03.2023 I confessed I did something reckless to my health (mentally and physically), need to remind myself and you (my fellow reader who work so hard for themselves) to not let yourself be too exhausted doing your academic. :( I spend from 8 pm till 4 am managing individual paper and groupwork paper, and it wasn't healthy to do so. I skipped my suhoor and the morning, I felt so drained mentally that I wanted to cry but your girl had online presentation in the afternoon 2 pm. It wasn't rewarding feeling. Won't do it again.

After the class, I just laid down in bed and read. The reading calms me down a bit and yay, to slowly reaching my book goal.

(MAKE SURE YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, READER, OR ELSE I WOULD MAKE YOUR ICED COFFEE MELTS FASTER OR YOUR HOT DRINKS BECOME COLD FAST. Maybe worse, it spills) 💕
