Today's thoughts: The calm before the storm

 Last day of liberty!

Tomorrow, 18 January, my second semester starts. It will be another 16 weeks of grueling studying and assessments. 

So how did I spend my Christmas vacation so far? Well, it's pretty uneventful. Aside from celebrating Christmas and NYE on my own, I got to go out with Nemboy and family to the Stockyards. Other than that, I'm just isolated in my apartment, busying myself with reading, doing a bit of work for my adviser, exercising, cementing my habits, taking care of my rats, and learning Spanish via DuoLingo. That's about it. Nothing exciting for this 35-year old girl. 

But despite it being uneventful, I'm PERFECTLY FINE with it being like that. DOING NOTHING IS A LUXURY in today's fast-paced, super busy, and highly critical world. I'm happy to be just chilling out with my rats, reading my books while sipping tea, or doing series marathon of Money Heist and The Witcher Season 2, and of course doing tons of cleaning every day.

And yeah, all of that is the calm before the storm because I'll be in such deep shit starting tomorrow. 

Let's make this fucking semester count! Woo!!! I finished with two As and a B last semester, let's see if I can still have that kind of grade!!! All for the love of my PhD!
