Pushing Myself

I stayed in Mam Glecy's house for the night. I accepted her offer to stay here and write for my thesis. She is a healthy pressure to me. And a very sweet one too.

I love the way 'Inay Gles' cares for me. I know I haven't kept much of my promises to her especially when it comes to assisting her with her research. But I'm very thankful that she was always patient enough to understand me. She actually appears to be more supportive to me than my biological mom.

Last night, I had to finish the encoding job I got from Sir Bien Lumbera through Ate Susan. I thought I could finish it early and allot more time for my thesis chapters, but it took me almost seven hours to complete it. I slept at 6am and woke up at 8am. Now my eyes crave for sleep and my head is getting fuzzier every minute.

But I won't stop here. As a form of gratitude, I will make sure that I will be able to submit my paper in Panpil 17 tomorrow to Sir Alwin, as well as the first two chapters of my thesis to Mam Marot.

I cancelled my tutoring classes again. I'm just lucky that I have very understanding students. I couldn't handle them anymore because I'm too tired to teach. My remaining energy can only be devoted to researching and writing now.

I wonder where I will get my allowance for the coming week. I don't have enough budget anymore. Plus my mom and brothers constantly keep me worried.

Well, this is my life. I still believe, largely, in the loving grace of God. I just have to do my part well too.
