2018 Chapter I Section 10

Am I doing enough?

Do you ever get the feeling that you are doing enough with your life? 

I always feel that. It is a constant reminder/alarm I cannot switch off. 

The more I learn, the more I feel like I need to learn. The more I read, I feel like I am not reading enough. I always feel like I am not doing enough. I feel like I need to work more, I need to know more, go to more places, read more, watch more, more, more and more. 

While studying for my entrance exam for my second master's I am thinking if should I do a Ph.D. next? I have already chalked out the next 20 certifications I want to do (including a few computer software and languages) while working and/or studying. 

I feel like I have already chalked out my next 5 years, yet I feel like I am completely clueless about what I am going to do!? 

Am I going insane? 

Am I? 

Till I figure it out (which might be never)...

Tata!

Meal Prep & More

Hello hello, it's been a while since I have written properly. I will take the time one day to edit in everything in the previous blogs. I kept writing a log of everything so I could write but every day at the end of the day I would get super tired and not be able to write! :( 

I have been so tired since I got to Irvine. It's been almost a week and a half since I reached. And, every day it has been something or the other. 

Had to get the room set up, then bank account, this and that. Small and big things just kept adding up. (I will edit in every detail in the previous blogs.)

Most of the things are ready and done, and I am getting used to living here. Residing in a new place was a bit of a worry for me since I have a tendency of falling sick easily in a new setup. But, till now (fingers crossed) everything has gone smoothly. 

I have noticed my cough is gone. I was sure that it was the pollution back home that affected my cough. And, Irvine is super clean, so I think that has been good for me. 

The weather is a bit cooler here than I am used to, but it has been quite pleasant for me. I love my daily walks here! 

I have been eating right too. But, I wanted to do a proper meal plan, and today I spent almost 6 hours prepping for two week's worth of food! :)

I am feeling tired, but now I am so happy. Now, I have to follow it correctly and get healthier.

I also want to go back to properly writing every day.

One day at a time! I have a few plans I need to get my life on the right track and now to slowly execute them! 

Let's do this! :)

Tata!

Packing & More

It's been a while since I have written a proper blog. I was not well for a long while. It seems I had severe chest congestion. 

After many antibiotics, gargling and other medicines, I am feeling much better. 

Due to the medicines, I was a little woozy for the past few days and so avoided writing anything. 

Today I spent most of the day packing. I will be leaving next Wednesday for a year to study abroad. 

I am superbly tired, and so I think my excitement has been a little low. But, I am looking forward to being a student again. 

I will be back with a proper blog with my thoughts and emotions. But, for today, that's all! 

Tata!

Weigh-In Part 4

Well, I am super happy and super sad today, happy because I got a perfect score on my test. I am doing an online certificate in marketing and innovation from Stanford, and this is the first course I got a perfect score. I have been hovering in the early 90s for a while. So, yeah small joys of life! :) 

I am sad because this week has been a disaster exercise and food wise. I have not eaten right and not exercised well, and it shows in my weigh in today. 

I will just put my numbers in and call it a day and just try to enjoy the little success I got today.
