Overdue for a week to hand over my draft to my supervisors already. I am just keeping calm knowing my coursemates haven’t handed theirs as well. What a week has it been!
I’m beyond exhausted, my car hasn’t been working since last week. I broke up into tears in front of my mom and my siblings due to how helpless I was feeling that time. I wasn’t fishing for their sympathy. They all helped me maybe because I was always has been the strong one. My mom offered to send me to work and lent me her car at last. My brother helped me to check on what’s wrong with my car. At one point, I unknowingly left the sidelamp of my mom’s car on that the car battery went flat – again I was without vehicle.
After travelling via Grab car (thank God for this service) for a few days, my brother gave instructions on how to mount/dismount the car battery and charge it upstairs in my unit. It was so heavy, I felt grateful that I weight train. To my surprise, I managed to get my mom’s car up and running after that. So much worry and agitation before I knew what to do. It was an accomplishment for me to be able to do that. Now I can replace my own car battery. I told my brother, this thing, on how to repair and maintain a car should be taught at school. We both laughed. I love talking to my brother, I just hope he takes care of his health better.
My upper body was so sore from last weekend’s competition (I’ll write about it), it was so hard getting up from bed. My body was under so much stress. But I still went to work to do some cleaning at Putatan gym. On the next day, I got my therapist friend to massage my arms, chest and back due to tightness (first time doing this), boy it was so painful and took me 2 days to fully recover. I learnt that I have left forearm issue and a bit in my tricep same side. They were old injuries, good thing it can be fixed with consistent treatment procedures. I’m so glad that I met her during the competition.
I couldn’t relax yet, this week I covered classes for 2 instructors. So it was 4 out of 5 BodyPump classes, and the other 3 days in Putatan gym. Wednesday to Friday, 2 classes back to back. When I finished my last class of the week this afternoon, I was like, OMG I deserve a treat for myself! Got some groceries, donuts and coffee, got home and unwind. Best feeling ever! Saturdays are my favourite. Unpacking my groceries, I was feeling so grateful that I still can afford to buy quality food. I’m going to cook a nice meal for myself today.
I’m going to use this weekend to finish whatever left on my thesis. It’s all coming together, I just have to persevere and hang in there till it’s submitted. I’ve got about slightly less than 200 pages to go, so I really need to be purposeful with my time.
Things left to do:
Chapter 2 – Include info on agencies in charge of agriculture industry in Sabah / Malaysia
Chapter 3 – All points included, so just add on the writeups and references
Chapter 4 – Include PLS parameters, streamline writeup
Chapter 5 – Decide on VAF, writeup on analysis. Divisional analysis
Chapter 6 – This one so much to write, maybe dedicate 1-2 days for this
Finish all these, I’m good for submission already. Coffee and donuts ready, all the best to me!
