I took a much-needed break this weekend
Normally, I work all day Saturday, at the library. And then Sunday, I go to church, talk to Kyle, and do pretty much nothing. This weekend, I decided I would switch it up. I went to the library for about an hour on Saturday, but then I didn’t really do anything else. So I said I would do work Sunday, until Sunday came. Then I decided I would switch my room around instead, and read my books that I brought for fun. I read for about a half-hour on China, and I did laundry too. Sent some e-mails about my thesis proposal and stretched my sore muscles from walking. So it wasn’t a completely lazy day, just not school-related. And I’m glad I did it. Last week was just really busy, and I think I deserved a break. This morning, I’ve been pretty productive. I actually ate breakfast, and I started working on my model for my thesis so I can present that to my tutor on Wednesday. And now I’m getting ready to go to the library and read until my tutorial at 4:30. Then I’ll try to do some more work on my model, and take the evening off like I usually do after a tutorial. I just don’t think that stress is good for me. I’ve been working really hard on not stressing out, and, I think as a result, I haven’t gotten sick since coming over here, which is pretty big for me. And even if I don’t do the best I could do in my tutorials, I’m just accepting that it’s not worth killing myself in constantly doing work. I won’t get a first, but I’m okay with that. So I don’t have anything to write about really, just want to justify my break. And my new room arrangement is making me much happier. I think I can live with the small room now.
