DATE OF PUBLISHING: <MARCH 30, 2022>

Do you also feel so stressed and drained from doing tons and unending academic tasks?

Coz me? Soooo much that I can't even find the right word to describe how I feel. But one thing's for sure, I'm already mentally wore out. Maybe I am indeed a "witty-brainy-intelligent" or whatever it is, but guess what? I'm still a human.

Do you believe that most of those brainy people often feel this? 'Yun bang mas stress pa kami kaysa sa iba despite the fact that we have a huge brain "daw." Why? The expectations is really higher compared to those average students. Yes, we're all witty (walang b*b*, guys.) but there's just these kind of people who exceeds what many people has.

Actually, I'm not that wore out in the past few weeks. It just happens that my third to fourth week of March was really hectic and stressing. How and why? Through these activities:

See these three (3) learning activities? Oh, that're in my major subject which is the Mycology. Our Professor posted it by March 21 and all are due by today, Wednesday_03.30.2022. And, it's not just a simple note takings but are "sketch notes." Yes, sketches or specifically "line drawings" of such plant diseases, their symptoms, causal organisms, and etcetera. With questions to answer on the side~

I was like, "seriously?" Because last week, we are flooded with quizzes, activities, and meeting-and-webinars to attend. And, would 9 days be enough to do and submit them all? Well, I don't know too. But, let's do this through giving a try.

LA 4C: Class Plectomycetes_Order Eurotiales

Among the three Learning Activities, LA 4C is the most easiest but difficult pa din. So, I first did it. Took me more than a day to finish it including the "questions to answer" and got to turn it by Wednesday, 03.30.22.

LA 4B: Class Discomycetes_Order Pezizales

This one is 70% difficult, 30% easy. Why? Gosssh! Searching for the samples is so hard especially that there's a lot of similar disease showing in Google. I should find the correct one coz all the diseases varies on their target host plant.

But look, I managed to submit it by Monday_03.28_past 5AM after doing it for more than 2 days.

On the night of 03.26.2022, I felt that intensed burnout that I am almost near to experience a "mental breakdown." I'm not stress at my responsibilities as a daughter and a big sister, more so in my side hustles. But, academically? Ayoko na lang mag-talk. (｡•́︿•̀｡)

So I decided to have some "me time" coz seriously, I really need and deserve it. How to? Through Jollibee, wherein "bida ang saya."

As I finished the outlining of my remaining LA which is that "4A", I finalized my decisions to go and have that solo moment by Tuesday, 03.29.2022.

First, I go to Jollibee all by myself. Ordered the Super Meal B with shanghai, half-spaghetti, Jolly spicy chicken with rice, and iced tea just for me and I ate it all alone.

And, tadaa! Got here some take-outs for my siblings and parents, it's the "Jolly hotdog with fries and drink."

After that "eating session with myself", I walked all the way to the thrifty sections in the market. Yes, I did an "ukay-ukay shopping." And, here's what I've got.

Bought a night dresses for myself for just PhP 20.00 ($0.39) each or 40 pesos ($0.77) in total. Also, had here a brand new jumper for my younger sister and got it by just PhP 200 from the original price of 4.81 USD pesos. Mura na compare to those in shops talaga. But, I told Mama that it's just for a hundred pesos. Baka magalit eh, haha.

Of course, I must go home after it. And going home means "going back to the stressful student life." But, I don't have any other choice but to do so. Continued my last sketchnotes and finish it last night, around 8:50PM.

LA 4A: Order Phyllachorales and Order Xylariales

Had accomplished the whole activity including the "questions to answer" just this morning of 03.30.2022, 8AM.

When I finished it, I literally had those "teary eyes." Coz finally, I am done with these stressful activities in my major subject. Even though I still have two other sketchnotes in my minor subject, Basic Biotechnology Lec with the same Professor. Seriously talking, "nauumay na ako kaka-drawing." 🥺

And, this "one" due this week? It deserved to be flaunt and that's what I did. Posted it in my Facebook story and as of now, it already have a near to hundred views.

For those students out there, always feel free to "breathe" even though our school requirements had been forbidding us to. We deserved it coz I know, all of us are being stressed. Take some "me and alone time", chill, and nevermind those pending schoolworks even just for some hours. 🌸
