Hi,
I just got back home. It's 9.00 pm while I'm writing this. I am now sitting down with the kids while waiting for their bedtime. Drained and sleepy.
Today was somewhat a gruelling day for me. I started my morning rush at 5 AM, only to encounter a major traffic delay due to an accident. It took me nearly two hours to reach USM, just in time for a departmental board meeting. I managed to join the meeting while simultaneously finalizing a viva report. 😁
At 2:30 PM, I was involved in a PhD viva session as an internal examiner. Before the session began, the Chairman jokingly said that he thought it would finish before 7:30 PM. It seems he wasn't joking! 😂 The session concluded at 7 PM, after a solid 4 hours and 30 minutes.
As soon as the session ended, I hurried home, drenched and exhausted, after navigating through another chaotic traffic and heavy rain. Arriving at 8:30 PM, I quickly grabbed a bite to eat. Now, as I rest, I'm reflecting on the incredibly long and challenging day I've had.
I have yet to make preparations for my role as an external examiner for tomorrow's viva session. Yes, panelling two viva sessions for two days in a row is no joke. 😵💫
But I figured I needed a breather to clear my head before diving back in. So, I decided to take a break to rest and recharge while reflecting at these simple moments, these quiet nights, that make life feel truly worthwhile.
Keep being strong dear self.
You can do it. 💪
