I am back!

for a short while before starting on my assignment and studying for my test both due 11th Nov. After that, I will truly be liberated.

It has been a tough month with Cookie's passing, competitions, my injury, recovering from the injury, my course work, preparation for the presentation, all the markings from PSLE and school exams and I guess I finally crashed after last night's presentation. I nearly fell asleep at the wheel while driving home after the presentation. That was how tired I was. My love was commenting how I need to learn to relax, to that I reminded her that I have newspaper breaks, swim breaks, movie breaks, meals break, cell group breaks, outings breaks, church breaks, bitstrips break, facebook breaks, blogging breaks... and it was after last night that I realised that I have pushed myself too hard trying to fit in all these into my busy schedule of work and studies. My expectations of myself kill me this way sometimes. I need to really do nothing and spend an hour a day just doing nothing but rest, which I did today.

I decided to take a day off from work (medical leave), slept till 10a.m. and woke up to have breakfast, went to see the doctor and told her I was exhausted and after which we had a 10-15 minute conversation on teaching and her sons and how she handles them as a very concerned parent. After which I went home and spent some time reading the papers and entertaining my aunt who had come to visit my dad and had an hour long conversation with her. Had my lunch leisurely before blogging now. And all these time, my assignment was at the back of my mind. Boo.

I can't wait to have a real break. I can't wait to travel. I can't wait for my course to end and the term to end. In the meantime, I am going to do what I have to do, one step at a time, with a smile.
