There are weeks that feel ordinary, some are fun and exhausting – but one thing they all have in common is that you have to survive them and prepare for another. This week was busy. I had to deal with my quizzes and exams while spending a lot of time conducting and developing our specimen for our thesis.
But finally, after over a month of developing it, we are done and now ready for curing and testing. We have also finished packing everything so we can ship it to testing centers where we need to collect data for our thesis.
From doing this study, I learned a lot of things, like the effect of the water-cement ratio on its potential strength. I also learned a new skill – using a grinder for cutting cement boards. You know, it is crucial for us to learn these basic skills because they have real-life applications.

Going back, this milestone means a lot to my academic journey. Now, we only need to wait for the test results, make the necessary edits and revisions for our manuscript, and hopefully, successfully defend it before our panelists. If we succeed, it will lessen my burdens in school and assure me that I will graduate on time.
Speaking of graduation, we have already submitted our application for graduation even though we haven’t yet complied with all of the requirements.
It was only an initial list and submission, so we can’t relax yet or be confident that we will graduate. I still have to deal with major subjects, which are difficult. But I am always doing my best to accomplish everything on time so I can finally finish this degree.
Visiting a Fast-Food Restaurant
It’s been a long time since I visited and ate at Greenwich. After the long weekend, I went to Greenwich with my girl and had some food. She said that the Winner Wings from the menu is what she always orders. We also added lasagna because we like it.
In the end, we ordered Barbecue and Korean Spicy flavors for Winner Wings and two lasagnas for both of us – please correct me if I got their flavor names wrong.
After eating, I told her that I would buy a new perfume because I had already used up my old one.
I really like the smell of Ian Darcy. I forgot to take a picture of its notes, but maybe you can search for it. I was using Aficionado before, specifically their F3, but I feel that its scent is too strong for me now. Plus, its smell is too common. Meanwhile, Ian Darcy DS is a bit unique for me.

Fun Fact About Me: It is my dream to collect luxury perfumes and watches. They don’t have to be luxury, but I want to try different types of them – I love collecting them. At the very least, it is one of my goals to get rich. I manifest it!
My week (or month) was a challenge for me (for us). The development of our specimen for our thesis is time-consuming and expensive. But in the end, I hope it will be worth it. I am grateful that I learned how to balance hard work, self-care, and maintaining connections with the people around me.
You don’t have to be too hard on yourself or overwork all the time. You must always find balance to prevent burnout. Learn to rest when you have time and enjoy your life!
