Wow! Guess who finally slept in and got over 10 hours of sleep? Yep, it was me!
Waking up feeling refreshed and energized was a huge relief after the past few weeks of nonstop chaos. Between work, social obligations, my studies, and research (which I could only squeeze in after work, on days off, and holidays), I was running on fumes. Thank goodness Friday was a holiday! I crammed all my chores into Thursday night and Friday morning so I could dive straight into CPD seminar preparations Friday afternoon.
Saturday started at 4 AM for a 6:30 AM call time, and the entire day was a whirlwind—snapping photos, assisting participants, making sure everything ran smoothly. The seminar wrapped up at 5 PM, and after a quick shower, I jumped straight into classes. I was completely drained by midnight, only to be woken up at 10:30 AM when my sister popped in, apparently looking for Mom—or maybe just checking if I was still breathing, since sleeping in, even on weekends, is practically unheard of for me. I’m usually up by 8 AM to do chores, so honestly? Fair concern.
Yesterday was packed with events, but I had to set boundaries and turn down two other commitments. Thankfully, the lab and hospital stayed quiet throughout the seminar—no work calls, no urgent messages. A small victory!
Being sleep-deprived all week pushed me back into drinking coffee again, just to stay awake and functional. And honestly, I don’t see that stopping anytime soon. In two weeks, I’ll be taking my comprehensive exam, which means leaving home at dawn to get to UST before 8 AM, then taking the exam and defending the title of my research. Coffee is about to become a loyal companion.
I know this entry is more of a rant—basically a journal update—but hey, you probably saw this coming. "You wanted that," right? Hahahaha.
