Finally, the weather has returned to its usual cold and rainy state after the extreme heat of April 2024. I have been really busy lately getting ready for the comprehensive exam that is scheduled for May 25, 2024.
I've been staying busy with reading and practicing writing to avoid the fatigue I encountered during my master's degree exam in 2019. I still remember well how unprepared I was the last time, how tired I was when I got home, and how I even became sick with a fever. I'm making a lot of preparations ahead of time because I'm determined not to have that experience again. Still, there's a trace of procrastination that happens for no apparent reason.
I
spent the entire day staring at my iPad and laptop in an effort to get into the
right state of mind for studying. I even ate some ice cream and watched Netflix
in a try to get the impeccable kind of motivation to push myself harder. Yes,
both physically and psychologically, I'm exhausted. I therefore hope that
taking a day off won't impair my memory or ability to think in preparation for
the approaching exam.
The
scheduled exam is in just fifteen days. Just like my master's degree exam, this
one has another goal, so I wanted to put in more effort because I've been
losing a lot of time and energy due to personal circumstances over the past few
years. For that, I am still grateful. These events got me to thinking and
realizing that we all need to live, have a life apart from our jobs, discover
our happiness, and even our purpose.
It appears that I am
using this as an excuse to write because I am finding it difficult to stay
focused on my readings today. I have been putting off reading all day, which is
bad because I still have a ton of readings to catch up on and I have work responsibilities
to attend to. I have tried to read after work, but it seems to be extremely
exhausting already, and coffee, soda, or anything else that helps me wake up
can't seem to complement my everyday exhaustion.
