tl;dr - 10 days of recovering from burnout :>

hello, it's me again! last week was the final week of term 1, and this week's term break. ya gal has been utterly burnt out from everything that is happening, so I spent the last 2 weeks trying not to do any work (revision, ccas, etc). hence, my lack of updates.

i still had lessons last week, and had been trying to use my free time to catch up on revision, only to realise I dreaded doing it (a big red flag). i felt terrible because i wasn't really doing much when i should have used the time to revise (longer term break, lesser exam revision time) or catch up on cca stuff, but instead I was just sleeping the day away.

in response, i spent my days reading manga and watching one piece. i pretty much ignored my messages and social media unless it was rlly rlly important. my average sleep cycle was 10-13 hours, and i woke up at dysfunctional hours :"). also spent a few days going out with friends to eat/walk around town

while reflecting on this term, i figured that my weakness is knowing when to take a break, bc I don't (it's a mindset difference). thus, i'm very thankful for my friends who always reminded me to rest and shared with me how they schedule breaks.

i also tend to overplan, taking on too many commitments at the wrong time, which means lesser time for the important stuff like assignments.

however, i am glad i stuck to writing my daily journal entries, and i'm really happy to see my progress. i also got part of my revision notes done during the term, so it will less taxing during exam revision next term.

this doesn't mean i won't burnout or become a genius planner, but i'm learning from my mistakes, which i think is the best way 2 learn :>

if u have read this far, thank u for listening and i hope you got some useful insights ✨🌻❤️ happy thursday :)

Some of my past years bullet journals.

I love comparing all of them and seeing how much I’ve progressed!

Now I can’t stop thinking  That I can’t stop thinking  That I almost gave you everything And now the whole thing’s Finished and I can’t stop Wishing that I never gave you anything.

Finally, done with the preparations for tomorrow, all the goods have arrived, the carts are loaded, and we should be safe to move on tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing how Erlenic performs, he seemed rather stoic during the interview, though I’m sure that’s partly to do with his age, after all he’s probably seen a lot in his time, how long do Elezen live anyway?

I’ve been tinkering with that Carbucle finding machine, for most of the day, just messing around with the buttons on it really, I can’t figure out how to use it at all. Tatari doesn’t think it’s going to work at all, and honestly I don’t think it’ll work either, but I’m not going to deny the person what they want, After all our company motto is “Through forest, sea and sand we'll put it in your hand.“

This spear is much lighter than I had figured, turns out there is no metal in this at all, well apart from a pair of intersting decorative wing like things. I’m rather excited to start using it, there are a lot of memories tied to this thing, even if they aren’t all good memories, I’m hoping I’ll be able to honour Alward’s memory with it.
