I am actually panicking inside because my supervisor require me to publish a paper. And my impostor syndrome side decided to tell me I am a professional full-time fraud.
this is going to be difficult -> i am capable of doing difficult things -> i have done everything prior to this moment -> this difficulty will soon be proof of capability
Czeslaw Milosz, New and Collected Poems: 1931-2001
Taken few hours before afternoon exam on 5th May. This meant I've endured 3 papers and left with 1 more paper then semester break.
Thinking of doing part-time while waiting for new semester starts.

27.03.2023 Due to having too much things in my hand, I have minor breakdown after Iftar. To cheer me up, I went to a coffee shop and get matcha latte with my sibling. (You can do it, break those massive task into smaller portions and do whenever whatever you can. Slowly surely, you can finish it.)
Third day of orientation, it was an alright session. I talked with few fellow PhD intake too from different programme. A little nervous about my journey (totally normal on being scared, seriously. It is just my mind deciding to panic and be anxious).
