New News to Knew: Exploring the Latest Developments in My Life


As I looked at the sun rising high, it reminded me of something. I haven't written in a long time now. It's not that I don't like writing, but things have happened lately. Do you know the feeling of just completing one task and then immediately having another one? I want to argue, but I always remind myself that it's my own choice, which gives me motivation.

I've been busy with studying, life, and work. However, even with a hectic schedule, I hate to admit that I am too stubborn. Last night, I talked to @jijisaurart and @dennnmarc . They are two people whom I feel are real pals, even though we don't know each other personally. But I guess there will come a time when we will meet in person. I was shocked when Denny chatted with me on Messenger and said he was going to delete his account. I was worried and immediately went to Discord to contact him. We chatted for a while, but I knew he was busy with his thesis, so we will talk another time.

Jiji lent me HBD for my stubbornness. I enrolled in another course, even though I am still studying with units of education, and my work is demanding. But what comes to my mind doing it? Honestly, I was amazed when one of my classmates reported his assigned topic via Zoom meeting, and an interrupting voice caught our attention - a voice of an instructor explaining some mathematical subject. He was questioned about what was happening, and he said that the schedule for two subjects under two different schools had the same timeslot. We were in the midterm, so basically, he was doing it all along every day, having two subjects in the same hour of time schedule. The mindset of "Others can, so do I" came into play. So when I was informed that the other educational institution had opened its enrollment, I signed up with nothing to think about the consequences. Besides, if I don't grab the opportunity, I might lose it. It was also limited, and only 20 students would be admitted, so I enrolled myself as one of the early birds - I think I was the 14th person.


The class will start next month, from April 23, 2023, until September 2023. The time allotment is good - from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM on weekdays, which works for my schedule since my class is from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM during Monday to Friday. So, I still have 30 minutes to take my dinner before joining another Zoom class. And on weekends, the class is from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, so I will immediately jump to the next class.

See how stubborn I am? But I think it's still manageable and tolerable, I guess. The good side is that exposing myself to academia from February until now (April as March will ends) has brought changes to my sleep. I've always shared with my virtual friends that I haven't been getting good rest and that my cognitive ability to memorize notes has improved. Some people have noticed my changes, but changing is universal.

I missed you all, I missed blogging, and I missed reading. My soul was unfulfilled, but here I am, coming back. Have a great day.
