An Outlet: Part 4

11 October, 2018.

I woke up with my nose, chest and everything blocked.

I still decided to go for the extra IAPM class that I had today because I've experienced the mental pressure one can go through when you've skipped even one of the IAPM class.

So I took my already tired self and went to college. We did some more math today and I wasn't that successful in paying attention. My body and brain just felt too tired to comprehend much of the lecture.

I bunked all of my lectures after that. Actually, I had only one lecture so I don't think I missed much. Anyways, I came home very tired and thankfully my laptop got connected to the WiFi. I try to get as much done when it does but today I just wasn't able to get through the Marketing digital course.

If I haven't mentioned before, we have to complete 30 hours of digital classes as a second minor (for those who opted for it) for this semester. I have already officially completed 3 and a half hours (which took me much much more than that) with my Tally Class. My friend and I had decided to take an Introduction to Finance Course but it turned out to be too difficult. We then settled for a Marketing one instead and due to time constraints, I'm trying my level best to complete a 5 week course within 2 weeks.

I still want to give the Finance one another shot but for now, I'm more interested in getting a certificate which I'll only be able to get if I score well in the tests.

So my aim was to complete atleast 70% of week 3 today but because of my condition, I was compelled to take a rest. I wasn't able to understand anything and that would have affected my test scores. The course is getting interesting (and more challenging) now and I want to have an undisturbed mind when I go through the vids.

So I decided to steam my face for a bit and then get some rest. I didn't want to fully sleep because I knew I won't be able to wake up soon if I did so I (re)started listening to a podcast called 'Stokes and Friends'.

I stumbled across it a while back but never got around to actually listening to them. In this podcast, Stokes has a chat with each of the BTS members and the whole vibe is very relaxed. I have only heard 2 podcasts (the one with RM and Jin) but I think the format is like first Stokes introduces something which is related to the theme of the podcast and where he currently is and then the podcast goes in an out of the actually talk with the member and Stokes' own comments over the conversation that they had. Somewhere in the middle there are other artists/fans/Stokes' co-workers who are also featured in the podcast.

I think Stokes has either done his research very very well or he is genuinely that interested in the 7 boys and can judge their character very fast. Regardless, I like this podcast and I hope that more people take out time to listen to it.

As I said before, I listened only to 2 podcasts (which were about 20 mins long each) after which I couldn't help but go to sleep. I slept for quite some time and didn't fully heal when I finally woke up. I finally went to the doctor and got my meds.

I did continue with my digital course and now I'm done with half of the week's contents. I really hope my laptop connects to the WiFi tomorrow as well cause I desperately need to complete this course.

Because my research work is suffering because of it as well and I haven't even started studying for my term end exams which start in less than 15 days.
