Recap of the last four months…
A lot and not much at the same time~
Not sure where I was since I last posted, but I’m sure I once again meant to write something every day.
As happened in previous attempts, I couldn’t keep up with it.
There’s always something.
This time, it was going back to work.
Actually, I think that has been the reason at least a couple of times now.
I attempt to create a new routine based on my current situation, but my situation changes all too soon and the routine is broken before it starts.
So, yeah…
The holidays were over and we all had to go back to work. There wasn’t time to do the writing thing again and nor could I find the time for it.
Now that I think about it… That’s kinda wrong.
I agree with them when they said that you could never “find” the time. If it’s something you truly want to do, then you’ll make the time for it. Regardless of circumstances, there will always be a way to do the things you want to do. If you prioritize it, that is.
On to that recap…
Three things:
- My contract with my part-time job ended, but we got a new one this March 🎉
- Finally created that home on the web that I’ve always wanted: joanadvincula.xyz 🎉
- Finally got an all-blue on my academic record at grad school 🎉
That contract~
It’s a part-time job at a local uni. We apply every term and we get a new contract every term. If they still want us, of course.
Only, the contracts nor the pay don’t come very quick.
We were required to start working again during the middle of March. The contract didn’t come until April and we only got paid for March just the other day.
It takes a while, so I’m feeling blessed not to be dependent on that pay.
That home on the web~
I’ve always wanted my own website. For what purpose, I’m not sure. I must have had a purpose when I first wanted it, but now I’m not sure.
Still, I went and created it. It’s an investment I guess. Whether a return will come will depend on what I put in it.
I’ve held that domain for like a couple of years now. It used to be attached to my Hashnode dev blog - another attempt at writing more. For some reason, the link broke. I did not make the time to reconnect it, so the domain sat unused.
Until I got my own hosting. For now, it’s a home to a couple of articles and some lesson notes.
I’m not satisfied with what it looks like right now. I’ll work on it.
That all-blue~
It means I’m finally done with my incomplete.
This happened just the other day actually. Out of the nowhere, our course instructor tells us that two of us who got incompletes will be receiving grades already.
On the same day that I set aside to revise my research that the course instructor said needed some work!
I don’t know why she suddenly decided that, but I wasn’t gonna ask any questions. I said thank you and that’s that 🎉
And we’re done~
For this time.
So that’s what’s been on since January. I’m pretty sure there’s things I’ve not remembered, but those are the biggest ones that come to mind right now.
Not sure when the next entry is gonna be either.
