tired but purposeful

I’ve been feeling tired these days. It’s an accumulation from the long weekend intensive, brought forward and piled up. nonetheless, I feel accomplished because I find purpose in the things I do.

Every lesson I complete I know I’ve just made one mini step nearer to getting my masters. I keep myself going by flashing images of myself wearing the robe and taking graduation with my dearie and family. That keeps me going in my studies.

I am tutoring 3 evenings a week. although 3 tuition sessions only make up 4.5 hours, I have to spend time preparing for them and that consumes time. despite that, I find it helps me in many ways. Teaching POA forces me to revise all the topics and that really beneficial for my accounting module. Teaching the p4 is less relevant but I find that by tutoring I am gaining experience in coaching students. Relishing the idea of lecturing in the future, these are building blocks to that.

With tutoring I earn extra which is helpful. I’ve only received $90 so far..i’ve got 4 more lessons before I get $100 for the p4 and another 2 more lessons to another $180. wow.. I’m such a money face. Haha.

I am learning a lot these days too. Spending time to read enriches me.

Doing assignment with the free time at work utilizes all my time to the max.

Weekends with no classes are invaluable because these are the pockets of time I can catch up with sleep and spend quality time with dearie.

I’m looking at getting some supplements and tonic wine to help me keep me alert during studies and work. after drowning myself with 3 cups of coffee last weekend, I had a terrible tummy upset which was almost like gastric pain. The overdosage of caffeine left me high and light headed. Hence I do want to depend lesser on caffeine and in place find something more natural and herbal to replace.

Some options: yomeishu, benedict dom, gingko biloba and the expensive cordyceps. Will go find out and make use of these to boost my health. =)
