My Afternoon Saved My Lonely Morning
There's nothing interesting that has happened to me today. Well, there is but I haven't made an outline on how to share it here, yet. So, I will just talk about how my day went last Feb. 16, 2022.
My day didn't start out well. I got scolded by my dad because of my stubborness, and that kind of put me in a sad mood. I wasn't even trying hard to study that morning. I just, felt sad. It was an unproductive daytime, really. It's also disappointing because why am I getting lazy when examination is already lurking?
Thankfully though, by the grace of our Lord God, my afternoon turned out good, better than my morning. It's because I prayed that I will be guided and helped to overcome the problem I was facing. And then right away, my chest and head felt better. it's like, there was an elephant sitting above me and then it disappeared it vanished into thin air. It was such a nice experience, a proof of how powerful prayers are, and how merciful God is.
With that, I was able to appreciate the afternoon. And the afternoon also looked like it's a perfect time to get out of my bad mood.
I didn't start my tasks early, but the afternoon gave way for me to start, even if I am kind of late.
14:27 to 14:47
I used this time to write down on my journal. The journaling happened after I prayed. Journaling helps me gather my thoughts when I feel like everything is a mess in my head. And in that afternoon, journaling felt extra more relaxing, my thoughts freel flowing out from my pen and onto the sheet of my notebook.
14:56 to 15:39
I didn't accomplish a lot of things the past few weeks and so of course a pile of works appeared. When I see so many things to work on, my mind will start malfunctioning and then I wouldn't know how to start! On that afternoon though, I was reminded that when there's a pile of mess, you should organize it first. Because usually, things look too much because they aren't arranged properly. Like dirty dishes on our sinks. After I arranged my untouched modules, I realized that it wasn't a lot of work, and I just only gave myself a scare.
15:40 to 17:04
After i arranged my modules, I immediately started to work. Of course I didn't get to finish everything, but what matters is that I was able to start something, and the pile looked smaller than before. It's like 10% out of a hundred was gone, and it's still a good start. The summary of the lesson I made helped me understand my lesson better, and when I understand my lessons better, my scores on exams and quizzes get better and higher too. The writing caused my back to hurt, but it's worth it. No pain, no gain.
18:00 to 19:02
Finally, it's dinner time! That evening, I cooked for us macaroni soup. It has milk, diced carrots, thin circular slices of chicken hotdogs, and even mushroom heads. It was a delicious meal and it took me about an hour to prepare it. I think it took me that long because I kept sneaking veggies into my mouth, munching while working. Dad said that it's wrong, and so I am now trying to stop doing it. But it's become a bad habit of mine and so I am struggling just a little to get rid of it. But, I'm still going to have to work on that, no matter how hard it would take.
That afternoon, I also received 20 pesos load for my smart sim- sponsored by my kind mother. I am not using the simcard to call or text anyone, but the number was used to register myself on a certain site. So I had to keep it alive. If not, I might get locked out of my account, and I cannot afford that to happen. So there, 20 pesos and I don't have to worry about the sim deactivating because it could keep my sim alive for a year. It's amazing isn't it?
That's the highlight of my day last wednesday. Half my day I felt bad, and then the other half was spent happily and productively. It was, nice. It felt good to come back to your momentum of your activities. I hope that the energy would last me until the end of the semester. It's only 2 months away, so i think I can make it : )
ENDING THOUGHTS: Life is indeed a wheel. Sometimes you are up, and sometimes you are at the bottom. I think acceping this fact will help me deal with my problems better. Do you believe that life is a wheel too?
