I have a lot of homework to do. ;)

So many idiots have masters degrees maybe I could be the next
31.03.2023 I confessed I did something reckless to my health (mentally and physically), need to remind myself and you (my fellow reader who work so hard for themselves) to not let yourself be too exhausted doing your academic. :( I spend from 8 pm till 4 am managing individual paper and groupwork paper, and it wasn't healthy to do so. I skipped my suhoor and the morning, I felt so drained mentally that I wanted to cry but your girl had online presentation in the afternoon 2 pm. It wasn't rewarding feeling. Won't do it again.
After the class, I just laid down in bed and read. The reading calms me down a bit and yay, to slowly reaching my book goal.
(MAKE SURE YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, READER, OR ELSE I WOULD MAKE YOUR ICED COFFEE MELTS FASTER OR YOUR HOT DRINKS BECOME COLD FAST. Maybe worse, it spills) 💕

It was such a warm afternoon, sun beating on my skin. So far, progress of my paper (noty thesis, one I have to publish first) were its introduction, and relearning how to systematic literature review along with data extraction.
Good quote of the day by one of my lecturers is "Everything is possible, if you are willing to accept change and reiterate along your way".
You cannot take it all. Offer. Sacrifice does not kill, but preserve, make it holy. Until wings turn into a cross. However noble, if we do things on our own, we are the enemies of grace. Odysseus was noble. Nevertheless Dante put him in hell, precisely for that reason. Hell is based on justice. Heaven is grace. Nobody deserves it.
