I am writing this with an enormous sense of relief.
For the last two weeks, since I came back from Tokyo, I have been concentrating on editing my chapter, though it has been a struggle. I finally submitted my work last night at 10 pm. Soon after I sent it, I collapsed on the floor as if all of my physical and mental strength had gone.
My effort towards this revision paid off. My supervisors’ reactions were very positive, and our meeting today went very well. Now I feel more confident in my research protocol and the chapter because the core theory for my thesis has been accurately identified.
I have to thank Luca, who is always patient with my irregular lifestyle and my continuous work on weekends. Last week, he was unwell and took a sick day. We ordered two bento boxes from a Japanese restaurant.
What I really want to do now is have a meal together and spend the weekend without doing any work. I only want to spend this weekend relaxing, cleaning the house, and ironing our shirts.
