Journal: Week 75

wrapped special term exams and just felt weirdly, overwhelmingly lucky to be alive: a fun job, friends who get me, a family that loves each other, and the sense of levelling up again

✨ Highlights of the Week

finished up my exams for special term. it’s so special… everything passed by so fast, i felt like learning experience is more on the hands on parts of me doing project work and quizzes. but i learnt a lot during this special term that i can apply next sem such that better tool/skill to build project, ppt, self learning matter improvement!

this week i just felt extremely lucky to be alive, it’s a weirdly amazing feeling… i felt like a main character in the world while everything just flow so well together, even tho it’s not going to the direction i wanted, but i saw the whys, i saw opportunity, i acted on it, i felt like i am levelling up again this time. grateful to have a fun job where i get to roll off all my planned tasks, that feeling of being productive is just so good. grateful to have a few friends who really understand me. grateful to have a family that loves each other.

i am just so lucky.
