It’s a very nice feeling to open a fresh, new diary for 2019, and make a list of achievable tasks for the day while having a morning coffee.
On New Year’s Day, I mapped out what my next 12 months will look like. I put semester dates, thesis milestones, deadlines and details of conferences into my diary. I am hoping to submit my thesis in December (which I still think is feasible, and regardless, I aim to complete it). My another resolution is to stay healthy, spend more time outdoors in the fresh air, do more yoga at home and reduce my sugar intake.
I start teaching again next week, so this year is going to be extremely intensive.
Writing & Cooking
I’ve been writing case histories for my analysis chapter. There are 12 more cases left to analyse, which I’ll work on over the next three months. I am still deciding how each case history should be presented in the chapter.
I’ve also enjoyed cooking. A homemade Japanese meal is real comfort food. It typically includes a bowl of rice, miso soup, salad, omelette, and grilled fish. I made miso soup and omelette and added tiny dried shrimps on top of the rice.
My achievements in Week 105
- started working on my analysis chapter by adding five case analyses
Goals for Week 106
